fat_eld Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 So I just put in a 10" jl audio 10" sub and dx600 amp. I'm very happy with the sound and power. I've noticed a few areas mainly around the plastic pieces in the rear window area that do have a small rattle to them. I know about using dynamat but was also curious if any of you guys have cooked up some home remedies of your own to help. I do have the ski port open and am trying out a few different positions to have the sub sit in there to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dbl_D718 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 In general, most subs will sound best when against the back seat, facing the rear of the car. The rattles, you'll have to find out what's rattling and use something like foam to stop them.

FJuan Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Buy a roll of self adhesive foam door sealer from Home Depot and cut to fit. My wife's balls are delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GVSUBeef Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I say turn it up until the rattles are drowned out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dbl_D718 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I say turn it up until the rattles are drowned out! Doesn't work for me. Keep turning it up, rattles keep getting louder MODS: PW TMIC, Cobb catted DP, HKS cat-back, AVO filter, Bren e-tune; Konis/Epics, Advan RCII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenva Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 My car did the same thing. Wherever the hard plastic contacted another hard surface there were rattles. I solved the problem using self adhesive felt that I picked up from Michael's Arts & Crafts. Chrysler uses the same stuff on their dashboards. That's where I got the idea. http://www.alpineglass.com/shop/detail/1972 RIP 96 Legacy 2.2 4EAT lost reverse @ 374,000 miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat_eld Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 Great idea stevenva. Did you have to take the carpeted area off to get the felt in between the plastic and metal frame of the car? I was looking in the trunk trying to figure out how to do this but have not had any luck yet. Any help on this would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenva Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I removed the plastic trim pieces completely and applied it to the back of the plastic. It is peel and stick but the adhesive fails soon in a car. I sprayed a little 3M spray adhesive and let it dry first, then applied the self stick felt.

fat_eld Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 I'll give that a try. Thanks for the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTDogg MA Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Can use a signal generator phone app to sweep the frequency up and down to locate rattles as well, then address them directly. "rattle, please stop rattling" ^^Direct address Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
