Re: Too much Rattling

the mounting plate is probably flexing too much. My answer to my problem was 3/8" plexiglass, custom made by me. Was relatively simple and it no longer rattles or flexes.

I just checked that, and even with the bass all the way up, really thumping, it doesnt seem to make any noise. whatd u do to the baffles?

Its probably the vents in the door jams. Take them off, wrap in foam tape, and reinstall. Problem solved.
