Subwoofer Problems


Recommended Posts

i'll take the subs out of the box and get a better look of them and see if i can see any problems and yes i will try to get a vid up of this horrible noise.

Here is the youtube link for the vid, sorry for the poor quality, my camera is screwed up atm and i had to use my phone. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJLL6aRYcxA

You really might wanna deaden the truck, your getting alot of panel rattle making finding a problem even harder but thats prolly where the problem lies. There are alot of products to use like SS, hushmat and others to do the trick. It really sounds like the subs are fine and your just getting cabin noise and mistaking that for bad sounding subs.

I would also make sure the box isn't coming apart, this has happened to me couldn't tell the box snapped at a brace but when we took it apart that was the problem.

x2 on the broken box, its a surprisingly common thing, and its a pretty distinct noise, but i couldnt really tell from your vid. when you have the subs out just push and pull at all the sides of the box and make sure none wiggle. sometimes a glue joint will break and the carpet holds it together, but lets it move enough to slap together and make some bad noises.
