Sub making things rattle - Help plz

[Chapperz]

Hey all,
My sub is making the interior light assembly thing where rearview mirror is make a horrible vibration.

I can stop it by putting my hand on it but would like to know if anyone else has found a discrete fix for this prob.

And no not Gaffer tape ftw

Quite impressed because that seems to be the only part on the inside that vibrates !

 

[Chapperz]

Aww comon peps someone must have a fix for this

 

[powey]

take it out

 

[Aluco]

Mount your sub on bungee cables in your boot so it's "floating"

Or turn the bass down.

 

[powey]

or turn it louder so you cant hear any rattles

 

[Beef-Mc]

Strip the car completly so it's just drivers seat and sub.

Get some dynamat, About £25. Take the light houseing out and put dynamat on the bare surfaces of the inside. Might sort the problem.

Also if you get the £25 pack from halfrauds you should have enough to do some of your boot.

fill it with expanding foam

 

[Chapperz]

Ahh thats more like it - Cheers all

Will give the dynamat a go.

is it ported?

I have a small sealed box, sound very nice. i dont like it load though. so probably why i dont ever get the vibe problem..

I had exactly that, what i did was to do one ring of black insulation tape around the edge of it (so that it cant be seen when the unit is clipped in)

This stopped my rattles from there completely, looks standard and only cost 99p

PMSL :lolup:

Used to have a sub in the day then found out listening to music was far more enjoyable without it

 

[McBunny]

actually listening to a decent stereo with a sub is much much better but in a car you are fucked

So the gaffer tape wins again.

lol it works

im not sure how effective soundproofing would be? cos the rattle on mine was caused by the unit rattling agains its surrounding, so surely it would still vibrate even if above it was sounproofed?

Let us know how u get on mate

 

[Chapperz]

ChrisRJ that worked a treat m8. Wish I had asked sooner because this has been pissing me off for months now!

Thanks for the advice!

Oh nooo, not Dynamat, you'll regret that if you ever want to remove it at somepoint. :dead:
