my rear 6x9's are rattleing whenever i turn the bass beyond -1 dec, its getting really annoying not haveing ANY bass in my car.......grrrrrrrr.....does neone know where i can get some quality plastic frames to replace my metal ones or a way to fix the problem besides takeing off the paneling and tighting the screws every week...ive already done that 3 times...

 

there is someone on this site that has 6.5 coax's in the place of the 6x9's. But to mount them he used plexiglass, which I think is a very interesting idea. He said he had a hard time learning the correct way to cut it tho. good luck

 

What 6x9's do you have?

 

get some bass blockers on them... then put some dynamat behind the speakers on the metal frame... I did that and it worked a LOT.. they rattle and distort cuz they are trying 2 push those LOW frequncies... my comp set was doing that in the kick panels up front and i hated it... then i put bass blockers on them... i think 100hz... but u still get bass.. just not the LOW stuff... and it helped out A LOT... no more rattles

 

Its probally not the metal of the car most likely be you pannels, play some music with some good low notes and find out where its comming from and use some pieces of foam between where its making noise. And for your 6x9's get some foam woofer gaskets and put it around the back of the speaker. You can also get a capacitor like what CD MaroMan 91 said but try it out it will solve some of your rattleing problems but you will lose some of the bass.

 

Yep. Get back there and look for where excatly the rattle is coming from and target the excact spot. I've used weatherstripping from Home Depot before to stop rattles so once you find the spot just get something between the two points that are making the noise.

 

thanks for the info guys. im gonna go home tonight and take off the panel and put on some music and see where the rattle is comein from. i have some clear silicon weather stripping layin around and a friend with some spare dynomat so ill try the dyno first and then if no improvement ill use the culking. thanks again:hail: :hail:
