when its running, run your finger around the edge of the sub, its probably air leaking out from the edge or from a screw hole.... i know it may sound like a rattle but trust me, customers come in frequently with this kinda sound and 9/10 its an air leak around the sub

did a bit of trouble shooting and came to the conclusion its my interior panels rattling like a mofo.

only air that was coming from the sub was the air being pushed by it.

your sub is too powerful its make the trims come apart lol

the main culprit was the scissor jack being loose in the spare wheel well. not as bad now, but still get it a bit lol. and my front speakers seem to push my front door trims off in some places every now and then rofl.

what u should do is get some tape and have the sub running.... stick a little piece of tape everywhere u hear a rattle... turn the sub off and get some hard sponge pieces and try stuff it behind the panels that rattles i managed to get all the rattle in my car sound perfect now.... also make sure all screws are tight coz the sub can losen them ova time...

hope that helps..

sounds like a lot of buggering around haha, but worth it, where did you get the sponge from and how did you get it to stay in place?

u can by it from clark rubber or bunnings i think... its just like a haard foam material... and it hold itself in place if u pack it right...

its a bitch to do but worth it in the end... no rattles no headaches...
