i was wondering what rattle everyone had once the installed that stereo. i was wanting to get somewhat of a head start and plan ahead for all the car rattle. i was wanting to know where the biggest and smallest rattles came from, and how you fixed it, if it was fixable. thanks

 

ill be able to tell you more on sunday (installing me shiznat)
but the plastic covers to the taillights in the trunk, jack, license plate are thigns i would watch out for...

 

i juss put in my system this weekend too... fer some reason i think my rear speakers are making a lotta the rattling sound... and the bar that holds the two rear speakers seems to be doin a lotta dancing too...anyone else have that?

 

I believe the most likely source of rear deck rattles is the center brake light housing. If you lean your head in under the rear deck and start knocking with your fist on the underside of the deck, you'll excite the rattles and can locate them pretty easily. I found the worst ones this way and stuffed some foam into the openings in the sheet metal deck. (I would love to just take out the whole flimsy deck and replace it with a steel brace between the shocks and then attach a new shelf made from MDF, but this will never happen...)
I also found that the frames of the stock Blose speakers were rattling against the edges of the holes in which they are mounted and also against the plastic spacer attached to the top of them.

I have a rattle coming from my back seat area that Greyjhu finally identified as the back right Bose speaker cover. It's either rattling against the speaker housing, or the back window itself... need to check again and wedge something in there or pull the cover off and make it flush.

Never had this rattle until the basslink

 

Once I installed replaced the rear deck speakers with a new set of MB Quarts the rear deck vibrates like mad. Felt it before reinstalling the rear speaker deck panel.
