Subwoofer/parcel shelf rattle
#1
![Question](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I had the driver's seat squeak and kind of fixed it, and the sunroof squeak was really easy to fix (ArmorAll on the seal).
However, I'm starting to get a rattle from the back that sounds like loose metalic rods jangling, and it seems to be coming from the subwoofer area, perhaps underneath the rear parcel shelf. I'm wondering if it isn't those two little black rods right under the sub in the trunk.

Hey, my trunk is ratteling also. I have two 10" MTX Competition, and a dual 600 watt amp. Everytime the base hits it sounds really shitty on the ouside but not on the inside. The license plate was ratelling also but i put some rubber washers inbetween them. If anybody has any sugestions or anything let me know. Thanx

gomez, not really sure. does it happen when going over a bump? try to isolate the problem.
Asif2002, ive also got a sub, and im pretty sure its the trunk hinge that causes the problem. when i hold down or open the trunk, the 'buzzing' sound is gone. i wonder if that would be covered under warranty
ohh, maybe its the tools/jack?

Hey, Ya at first it was the license plate and the trunk. I solved the licenes plate problem, but trunk is still ratteling. I am gonna take my car to Acura tommorow and see what they say about it. I was also thinking about maybe putting some insulation back there, mayebe that would help. Anyways if anybody figures it out just let me know. Peace!

I think that it's the tension bars mounted inside of the trunk. I had to get a wire tie and tie them together,and that seemed to fix the problem. However, my rear deck is starting to rattle now too. I think I am going to put some foam under the rear deck and see if that helps. I really don't know anything else to do.
