I got board the other day and decided to investigate my interior rattle problems. I have three 10" subs with 1500 going into all three @ 1ohm.
I was in the line to pick up my girlfriends sister from school when I noticed I was 10 minutes early so I turned up the bass and climbed in the back seat. I leaned the seats forwad, then poped out the push pins holding the rear dash. These come out easily but for those of you who do not know you pull out the inner peice first then the whole thing. The push pins expand with the center pushed in. It is virtually impossible to pull it out with the center in.
Next I slid the seat belts out the two flaps on the side of the cover. And the cover pulls right out.
I put my hand on a few things and walla I have discovers 90% of my rattle problems. The Center seatbelt bracket was rattling like crazy, I tried to tighten it but it still made noise. Then I thought to myself I really only need two seatbelts in the rear so I just removed the whole center seatbelt assembly. Next to go was the three metal peices that holds in a baby car seat.
Back on goes the cover and now I have virtually no rattles inside the car. That was the easiest fix for a stereo system I have seen yet.
As for in the trunk and outside the car I have not tried to fix it yet, The passengers inside the car matter most for me to please so as long as the inside sounds good it fine with me.
Just thought you guys would want to know. If you have any questions just reply.
