95Sorel Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 (edited) I have a Kicker 15in L7 , hooked up to a Kicker Dx1000.1 amp. I have it facing towards the trunk, and it rattles like crazy. When I turn it up, people turn their heads at the rattling, not the bass. Its sad. If you want to know what I mean, here the link for the video, the rattling is at the towards the end. Any suggestions on how I could fix the rattle? My car is a 1990 Buick Park Avenue. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSx21DLQ_nw Edited March 15, 2011 by 95Sorel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecityxignites Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Sound deadener works wonders.

Guest Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 good lord and i thought my rattle was bad. you can buy sound deadening products, such as audio technix or second skin (a more well known one would be dynamat) and apply it to the underside of the trunk with a wooden roller and it will be reduced significantly.

Berto Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 One thing would be the sound deadener. But if you don't want to spend your money, take that "spoiler" off. That's is your main problem. You're rattle won't disappear but it'll be a whole lot less than that. Quote TEAM FLEX ISSUES Car: 1985 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royal 24" Rims HU: 7" Carputer, Planet Audio EQ, iPhone.

Haha if only I had the money By the way it sounds like your sub is clipping, you might want to back your amp off a little bit and see if it makes a difference You can tell on a video, it's probably just the camera mic. distorting. To the OP, holy bejebus that is bad, try lots and lots of deadener, if that doesn't work, change your system so that the sub is sealed off into the cabin, or in a bandpass ported through the rear deck. I think though that the main question that should be asked is why do you drive around blasting it? But let's not start that argument.
