Ulilbastrd · 01-08-2003, 07:53 PM

Did anyone ever experince an annoying rattle from the rear passanger side of the cabin when using a sub? I have a 12" mmat sub with a 300watt amp. if anyone ever had this problem is there a simple fix?

Thanks

not really in the location mentioned but thats the first thing to do. for me the vibration was so loud it was retarded. I used some packing foam and issue waw gone.

Then the license plate, than anything behind the interior panels. Lots of wires back there to bump up against the inside of your fenders.

My rear deck rattles. Mostly against the rear glass. Also I have three caps that have a belt symbol on them that shake around in their cut outs. For the glass I wedged four small black foam squares between the deck and the glass. For the caps I just used some black insulation strips 1/4 inch thick from Home Depot around the edge. Looks professional and didn't cost a lot. Other than the license plate ( almost impossible to stop rattling ) it sounds solid.
