I have a rattle coming from the rear deck, I think it might be a speaker cover over the sub? can i just pop that off? anyone else have this issue? 07 tl-s

 

Really???? There are several threads that talk about this. Try searching!

 

the rear deck comes out in one piece
speaker covers and all
PITA
most likely is your sub rattling

 

Every sub on every 3G rattles and it rattles bad

 

Yup my sub was rattling against the metal its mounted too, the rear deck was rattling and the middle seat belt reel was rattling. Foamed under the sub, all under the rear deck and a bit under the c pillars and under the rear seat. Also completely removed the middle seat belt. Almost no rattles now, a little bit still with heavy bass but far improved.

 

It's a common problem. Design flaw on the part of Acura, if you ask me. There are various fixes listed in the forums, it's easy to find them.

 

yeah i did find a thread, thanks guys

 

Why isnt there a sticky for this in this section?

 

After listening around from where the rattling was coming from, it was the strongest closest to the rear windshield. I pushed down on the liner surrounding the speakers and the rattle stopped. I had a piece of velcro that I folded over itself to increase its thickness, and wedged it between the liner and the windshield (from inside the car). No more rattle.

 

after installing aftermarket subs, it went away..plus it the bass sounds so much better!

 

Absolutely right.

 

take out the rear deck and look at the bottom. Where ever there is plastic touching metal, then cover it with duck tape or something. This includes around the mounting holes and the plastic flat "rail" pieces that provide rigidity to the rear deck... Then enter the trunk and secure the cable better that is the emergency latch opener. That cable was vibrating against the metal also. You probably wont get out ALL the vibrations.
