ChevyBoy95 Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 With the new system which is the loudest i have had in my truck, a lot of rattling has been rooted out, but much still remains. In my ext cab, the side windows on peakier notes like to slap and it is quite loud, enough to hear over full tilt and really dont know what to do to prevent it. Expanding foam did wonders on the rear side panels along with 80mil and padding. still doing to do a "air guide" so to speak directing the side firing port to the back of the drivers seat and off one of the side windows/side of the truck, and do a trim panel on the passenger side hoping to seal off the lower panel from compression and air movement. any advice from truck users would be great. system: 2 XL 15s, 4krms. peakiest notes are from 27hz-35hz.

bassface Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) The window channels usually have some type of felt rubber gasket, what is the condition of the gasket? Also on some vehicles that channel can be adjusted to get tighter or looser, you may want to check to see if it is adjustable.

C-Fizzy Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 You'll want to seal that window up with high strength adhesive if it is the kind that opens. Sorry but it's gonna be permanent lol Quote under construction I hate People with crappy primered cars rolling on hubcaps that are louder then me. u hate c-fizzy?

ChevyBoy95 Posted August 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) Are those the windows that can be pushed out? Or are they "sealed up" cant be pushed out unfortunately, they have the latch/swivel style. and i can tell there is more pressure on the passenger one because when both are open, even with the port firing drivers side, the passenger window flexes about 1in (.5in each way), and the drivers does about .5 or less total. but i might have to use the adhesive.

ChevyBoy95 Posted August 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Oh so these are not the type of windows that roll up, they are the side rear windows? yes it is an EXT cab, not a full size. this is not my truck, but same cab style Quote Best Score to Date : 160.5 dB Outlaw (47Hz)[4 XM 15's & 2 Taramps Bass 12k's] BL : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/147800-chevyboy95s-4-15s-7krms-wall-1533-db-on-half-power/YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/hitemwiththeflex/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
