For those of you with aftermarket subwoofers...

I am getting a nasty rattle on the back deck when I am playing certain songs with my 10" subwoofer. When I get into the back seat and push down on the ridge between the speaker grilles...the noise goes away. I need to find a way to dampen the sound, so I am looking for anyone that has maybe put the back seat down, or removed the rear deck. I have already dynamatted the underside from the trunk...but there is still some bothersome vibration.

For those of you who may have fixed this problem yourselves, I would appreciate any help you can offer. Please be as specific as possible.

Thanks

I'm curious about this as well. The vibration is not severe in my car, but I would like to get rid of it.

You can try stuffing some sort of baffling material or rags under it through the trunk?

Search the forum as this issue has been reported several times with the factory installed sub. It's possible the fix may help you or at least narrow down the issue.

I took mine to the dealership 4 times and they didnt do **** for me...told me sorry...wtf right...
So as the old saying goes if you want something done right, do it yourself...go to the back, take off the speaker grill...comes off really easy use a pry tool if you have it...and I took some fabric and stuffed it around the woofer put the grill back on and the rattle was gone.
