Subwoofer Blown
My sub rattles like hell gents. Can someone provide a part number so I can purchase one in the USA for a decent price. Sounds terrible. From here on out, I guess I should turn it down a notch or so. Dang it. Thanks in advance. Would love to replace it with aftermarket amp and sub, just not sure its worth the trouble.

Not at all its not the speaker your glueing... Its the plastic holding at the top you will see what i'm talking about... Play some loud bass and use your finger to suppress the rattle.. then just squeeze a little glue and let it dry and you will be on your way.. Trust me I listen to rap and It's sounding official!

I actually had different problem. The metal basket under the sub was super rattling and you could hear it from in the cabin on hard bass notes. I wedged in some rubber washers under the sub and it's fixed. To test if this is your issue, push up on that metal piece with the holes in the trunk. If it goes away when pushing on it, put some rubber washers in there. They don't touch the sub, it's just to add some width to stop rattling.

Subwoofer rattle
Hey Jason where did you get the washers from what are the size of them? I’m having the same issue the speaker under the panel is not loose from the plastic like in that other thread that was mentioned. It’s more like yours where the metal cage of the sub woofer is touching so it’s really loud and rattles with high bass. Just looking to get the same washers you have to see if it helps with my issue. Thanks!

I have the same exact issue here. If I push the cage up with my palm, the rattle on high bass goes away. Where exactly do I put the washers and what type of washers should I get? I was thinking of using automotive sound deadening material and pasting some on the cage to see if it works. But maybe the washers method might be a better fix?
