Subwoofer covers vibrate
I installed the bavsound woofers a few months ago. Since then I've been getting a bad rattling whenever there is a bass note. I tried reseating everything but nothing helped. I was thinking of securing the covers better somehow. Looking for any insight on this.
Thanks!

If I hold the cover down it stops rattling so that's why I thought it was that

Holding the cover down also forces the speaker into the speaker box so just holding the cover is not proof that the cover is the problem. You don't have to remove the speaker box to tighten the fasteners, but you will need to tilt the seat back and remove the cover to get access to the fasteners. PITA I know, but that's what you need to do.
It took me 20 minutes per side to go back it and fix the vibration. |

I'm in the minority. I actually had a defective sub from them. After the install, turned on the music and instantly it was a severe rattle. I took the seat off again and everything seemed fine so out came the sub. The cone was actually not articulating smoothly. Sent out an email and got a replacement within a week.
FWIW I forgot to use the ring and haven't noticed any downsides. |

So I took the driver side out, tightened the screws down really tight on the enclosure and it stopped the vibrating I tried it on the passenger side and while it did reduce the vibrating, it still does it a little.
But on the whole it's like an entirely new system, I can finally listen to sounds with any kind of bass!

Did any of you guys install any Dynamat around the sub enclosure? I thought I remember reading somewhere it was a good idea, but maybe I am thinking of the doors, just wondering if anyone did it for the subs.
Getting my subs tomorrow and wanted to be ready for the weekend install.... Quote:

Never mind, I found the post I was looking for. I am going to install Dynamat on the enclosures.

i just did this today. and the cracking noise was both screws breaking. first one screw that holds the sub in the enclosure. and the second screw which holds the trim piece down. how the fuck can these screws be that brittle. i was hand tightening. anyone have ideas for part numbers.
