Trunk rattle.

[Red88]

I have the other two carpet-holder-uppers, I was eager. I built the box, and wired it all. It's just two twelves that move every piece of metal in my trunk.

Next step: Dynamat.

[kronus]

so maybe back off the bass a bit?

[DCColegrove]

Dynamat...

And pad all the works...especially the deck lid torsion springs...

I don't know shit about sound equipment but I do know rattles.

[kenika65]

all i had to do is tighten the trunk latch. it is adjustable...

[Mr Watsonsilver]

i have the same issue.

[kenika65]

^ then adjust the trunk latch hook on the trunk it self, once adjusted the trunk wont just shut by pushing down you have to make it shut, but all of the rattle will go away well at least it did for me and I am pushing 2500W

[Mr Watsonsilver]

Ok..i will try that in the morning.

Check your license plate. I hear a lot of plates rattling while stopped at traffic lights.

[Mr Watsonsilver]

I checked. There is about a quarter inch between the plate and trunk. So i dont think that is the problem.

And I still cant find the trunk leak problem..its getting worse to.

[kenika65]

I found my trunk leak at the trunk mounting welds which hide almost under the weather stripping.

I had to re weld and repaint over the welds...


I found this leak by poring water and watching for water...

[Mr Watsonsilver]

That sounds pretty extensive for me to do.

Trunk rattles are easy.

My roof moves a good 1.5"...try fixing that rattle!

[Mr Watsonsilver]

WOW what do you have for a system?

[StereoInstaller1]

1 12" Exile sub on 600 watts in an ultra high tech box.

The port tubes are almost 30" long, to achieve the tuning frequency that gives me bass below 20Hz, yet achieves about 115db with 1 watt, in my car.

[StereoInstaller1]

One more showing the top of the port tubes:


Keep in mind that this will make better (and more) bass on 1/10th the power.
