Rattling subwoofer fix, FYI

If you develope bad rattling sound when playing music. You can take the rear subwoofer shelf cover off and fix. The subwoofer may have separated from the plastic attachment.

The fix, Elmers rubber cement. Apply a small amount, let dry and problem solved.

It's good to see my old old thread come back to life. This works very well. Sounds as good as new and never had any added problems since then.

Hello,

I am having the same issue with my bass like it’s so loud and rattles when I have the volume up and it seems that the bass is louder than the vocals on the music. Repair shop told me the subwoofer is messed up and needs to be replaced for $1,500 from Germany.
I tried to troubleshoot it and see that if it is pushed all the way in it will stop rattling, so I’m thinking it is not mounted correctly. How did he get into the subwoofer? I would like to try it on my car and see if it’ll fix my issue. Thanks!!!
