I have an 06 I find the speakers specifically the rear center one gets rattley at certain notes or when there is bass. The front door ones do it too but not as much.


It happens most often when the volume is close to full and there are high bass notes like in dubstep or house music. If I put my hand on the speaker and press down a bit it stops...


Any suggestions on how I can fix this?

You mean the sub? It's a known issue with the sub in the TL, and while there's way to mitigate it it's really up to you to be creative.

You need to make the rear deck not move a bit. You can use weather stripping or foam. Search on google for Acura TL 3G rattle and you'll find a million threads with people fixing it.

yea, its the sub I guess...I'm an audio noob but I will look into the fixes. How accessible is this rear deck?

On a scale of 0 to 10, 10 being the hardest... somewhere around a 4-5. Its location makes it annoying. It's a game of being in the trunk then on the backseat near the back glass and making sure nothing moves anymore.

I just did mine yesterday, you will need to remove the whole rear seat and B-pillar pannel cover then remove the rear deck to access to three speaker.

You dont have to take off the entire back seat and b pillar lol.
just go through the trunk liner. the rattle is caused by a plastic liner tapping onto the metal frame under the rear window. just fill up that gap with foam or whatever.

What Noober said.. most of the rattles back there is from the rear deck touching The rear window glass.

As for the front door speakers you could get one of those door speaker kits from dynamat to solve lots of that issue and increase the sound quality as well.
