I've got a couple of fixes in mind. I'll post up when I find one that works.

Haha, thats exactly one stop for me too.

Put on a song, and got under the car, its coming from inside the bumper/metal on the rear left. I cant find it/nor get to it.

Please keep me posted if you find out what is causing it. Also, Im getting a noise like its coming from inside the gas tank or something around it which I cant get too :(

Mine is the plastic panel vibrating against the metal. If you take the panel off and don't get the noise, that's your problem too.

Take a picture of what you mean please. Cause when I stick my hand inside the bumper, I feel vents, and the vents are covered but feel like plastic. If I press them hard they kindof stop vibrating and making the wierd noise.

But thats just one place, cause something to do with the gas tank and the metal/plastic around it are also vibrating.

ya i have exactly the same problems that you have. i have 2 12in comp. subs and a 1200 watt amp and i can make everything shake, as well as shake the cars around me. The most annoying thing at first was my license plate, it was the most loundest high pitch rattle ever so i put some pieces of rubber stopper between it and the car and it pretty much stopped. My trunk still shakes like crazy though and in the future I'm gonna get some dynomat and fool around with that. I have the sedan with all the power packages so Im wondering whether or not my speakers are completely worthless, either way down the road i'll go aftermarket. But ya if anyone can find a cheap way to stop the quarter panel from shaking it would be great help. thanks.

Lafiro · 10-05-2006, 09:34 PM

Wow, worthless piece of.... I can't believe its the same for everyone. Atleast thats a good thing!!!1 When someone fixes, it means we can all fix it together! lol....

Cant wait for that cause I love my bass. It sounds so good, even from a block away. But the back rattles too much.... and its worse if you all notice when the trunk is CLOSED!!!!

hasher22 · 10-08-2006, 11:45 AM

Its a shame cuz my bass sounds clear, heavy and smooth without the plastic panel lol.......

Hmmmmm for those people who has 2 foam boxes and that cheap piece of carpet on their plastic panel......do you think its smart to dynamat the plastic panel and take rip off the foam and that wool carpet? my car door has like 3.5kgs of dynamat added to it already. But that damn plastic panel is now givin me a hard time, the rattle i get from the inside is a pain, if i was desperate ill drive with no plastic panel

Lafiro · 10-08-2006, 08:56 PM

Yeah its very annoying. Half the time thats all I hear now. Its louder then the bass. I am going to remove it tomorrow somehow, and put a lot of weather stripping and then replace it. Hopefully, it wont rattle with that stuff inbetween it and the metal. But as for the side of the rear inside the bumper, and around the gas tank, the best thing I can do is just dynomat the inside and create two new boxes, each for each corner, facing the seats, this way when the seats are down, the vibrations go into the "cabin" and out the windows. ;) Tell me what you all think. I will take pictures.

That's basically what I'm thinking of doing only I'm going to try a ring of that low expanding foam around the speaker on the door panel to hold the panel off the metal. (letting it dry thouroughly first)

ChinoCharles · 10-08-2006, 10:25 PM

When the sound of your car falling apart drowns out the completely unneccessary amount of bass you have in your car, maybe it is time to pull 5 of your 6 12's out.

FIDELITY: accuracy with which an electronic system reproduces the sound or image of its input signal

Only a fucking idiot spends all that money on a categorically LOW-FI system.

Lafiro · 10-09-2006, 04:26 PM

OK, well I could not lift that part for nothing. Those plastic rivets or whatever they are, really are a bitch to move, and I dont want to break them. I removed the back brake light, and shoved in two seperate pieces of cloth, one for each side. This actually fixed that problem. It does not vibrate any more.
EDIT: After enough songs, it has managed to vibrate again. Maybe those two little cloths were not enough after all. Ill fix that later.
As for the outside of the car, well I have to wait for my dynomat xtreme bulk pack to arrive so I can dynomat the ENTIRE trunk. Maybe if there are any pieces left I will either dynomat the back doors, or most likely just the floors. I want less road noise aswell.

zestia · 09-16-2009, 11:31 AM

If the rattle is coming from the rear deck. Try to take out it out. The carpet and the speaker covers. Also, look at the tail light to see if that is shaking against the rear window. I have one 12" in my sedan and the only thing that rattled was the tail light against the glass. I put a small strip of black foam across the light and all was fixed. Good luck

talnlnky · 09-16-2009, 11:15 PM
