Hi All,

When the slightest amount of bass is sent to my passenger door speaker, you can really hear the rattle from the cone itself. I have ruled out the panel or grille as being the culprit but have not removed them to do any final testing. But I am sure its coming from the speaker because it may be blown.

Are blown speakers covered under the 50mile/80km warranty? Or should I just replace it with something aftermarket..

Any insight is appreciated, cheers!

 

shoot.. i meant to post this in the audio sub forum. feel free to move if need be

 

Funny that you bring this up i had the exact same problem. Tuesday i took it to the dealer and they replaced it for free my car has 49000 miles with the extended warrenty, im sure its cocered under the factory one to. I would get confirmation from another member frst though

 

Same here dude, i get that rattle and its annoying. I don't think its a blown speaker... might be another infamous rattle that needs to be fixed.

 

Wow, I thought it could have been the only one here.. thanks for confirming guys..

Ill be talking to the dealer today then as I have 79700kms! yikes.. ill post back with updates.

I really hope its as simple as a speaker replacement and not another unknown rattle!

 

I had problems with the rear speaker rattling, and I first noticed it with the introduction song of the Panic! At the Disco album. The rattling noise was jarring, but if I just barely placed my hand on the speaker to hold it in place, the speaker was just fine. I had it replaced under warranty by the dealer. The new speaker was fine at first, but started to rattle as soon as the same song came on.

 

^ Thanks for the info.

I made an appointment with the dealer for tomorrow the speaker is included in "the list". haha... I press and pressed all around the speaker and it did not damper the rattle one bit, im almost 100% the speaker is on its way out. I will definitely update this with what happens...

Went to the dealer at 80.2k and they accepted my car for warranty repairs on the items I had presented including the speaker. They need to order parts and I'll be taking it back in on Tuesday to see what they do..

 

Dealer replaced the speaker, no questions asked. I cant describe how much better the music sounds now.. wow. I can finally hold off on getting subs and new speakers for a while.. nice.

 

same here thats why i replace mine with focals component all around. the sound much cleaner than factory but you kinda lost a bass.. i need 4chan amp now

 

You replaced all of them? So 6 speakers total (2f, 2r, 2 tweeters) ? And all with these Focal component speakers?

Why did you lose bass, do you still use the stock rear sub?? And how much did everything cost? Okay no more questions, haha..

 

i got 2set of component one for front and one for back i still got the stock subs. im looking for my 4chan now. hmm 319$ the dude on ebay sent mee a component instead a regular focal but i dint say shit lol... orginal price 349$ each but i got for 319$ for 2set of component

 

and there is LESS bass than the stock speakers with these?

can you send me a link to some listings on ebay of the same speakers you got?

thanks

 

It has less bass bcuz i think its sound so clear.. but it got high and mid and lil bit base. i got great deals on my speaker. i order just a regular focal speaker for 200 each pair but the dude made a mistake and sent mee a focal component for 350each pair, but i only got for 319 for two set of component with shipping hahahha. anny one know about amp i need a 4chan am or 6chan amp.. wat yall think about this amp

anny one know about amp a i need a good one for my component for the front and back. if i get 4chan i'm ganna lose my center speaker and my stock sub??

 

Guys - I had a terrible rattle that I thought was coming from my rear speakers/sub. Those of that you have had the problem come back - try this.

I spent 30 minutes tinkering with my car in the install bay with a guy from Best Buy and we found it was actually the rear vent vibrating, and when the bass hits high enough it touches the glass. The fix? 79 cents worth of a 1inch strip of black felt from a fabric store, pushed down into the crevice with a dull butter knife. Haven't had a rattle since.

 

Wow nice tip! I am currently going to investigate something coming from that area that I thought I heard a rattle from. Ill definitely put some tape there.. thanks!

 

The rattle in the right rear is a RECALL, warranty or not its a freebee fix

 

Can you elaborate? Recall # or TSB #, location, etc? Thanks!

 

^ Yes, please inform.
