aftermarket subs

for the ones with aftermarket subs do you guys get rattles in your car? besides from the car itself what do i need to help reduce the trunk rattle etc. MY MAIN problem is where our stock speakers in the back. the middle sub seems to be "loose" (maybe the case of heat) basically everytime it bumps, the layer vibrates.. im thinking i need to "glue" it to stick to the portion where its between the speaker itself and the cover but i dont know exactly how to take it out and try to fix this problem... anyways if you guys can help it would be much appreciated

thanks for your time

I did all that but the rear deck stopped rattling, but the sub rattles bad. You must just replace it, cuz all the power is going to 1 sub instead of 2 subs in the back stupid design.

I have dacron in all my panels as well but if doesn't fill the space enough, styro block was also glued in as a wedge..

it feels like my doors are as heavy as a 57 Chevy Bel-air.. kinda like it though.. lol. Push to close.

a few months ago I opened my door, got out and went to open the rear door to grab my bag.. and the drivers door swung back & took a chunk out of my heel where the achilles tendon is.. that hurt like a mother, still some scarring. I'm surprised you have wind noise with the visors. Oh well.. sealant? or is it a rattle when it's open?

I have a springy rattle when the window is open.. I thought it was resolved for a while but it came back.. I need to work on isolating it.

its a squeak when the window is open, in the door like its rubbing on something....I had road noise when i got tints done. i cut the rubber away so it doesnt scratch the tint. and the road noise increased but after the door wqas dampened it was corrected.
