Sound system.

My rear center woofer is rattling. It has ever since I have bought the car. I havent found any website that sells them. I went on evay and they a have a used one. I am kinda leery on purchasing it.

Does anyone know of any place I can order from??

If you do, id surely appreciate knowing.

Thank you!!

You don't mention your miles or year but if your car is still under warranty this will be covered. acura has come out with a new sub/part to fix this issue. my car is going in on saturday for the fix. i will post the part number if you need it.

Are you certain it is your sub and not some loose trim pieces?

+1 for trim pieces, if you haven't already its worth putting on a song with a lot of bass and jumping in the back seat and pushing around to see if applying pressure on a particular piece kills the rattle.

I havent seen this in the Acura but I had the issue in the ex's ES350, few twists of the screw driver and rattle was gone

In case it is your woofer, if your car is an 09 or later the woofer can be purchased from Bernardi Acura. I have seen them there. I did not look for any older models.

The rear deck fitment was way off on my TL... one of the main reasons why I pulled it and added deadener. Sounds much better and quelled all vibrations and noises.

If you are looking for replacement oem parts then try http://www.hondapartsunlimited.com/

Fast shipping and great prices but if you are still under warranty then take it in to the dealer.

Or go 12" sub with an extra amp for juice just in case you ever have those days where you just need big BOOM in your sound.

I bought some stick on sound deadening material(forgot the name). Not only did the rattle go away, it tighten up the bass as well. I was happy with that repair.
