Keep playing it at 25 and you won't hear the rattle over the blown speaker sound.

I've got a nice custom stereo in my truck... but certain frequencies make things buzz or rattle.

Turn it up louder so you don't hear the rattle!!

jk But yeah dude, that sucks. I loaded a flash drive with some old school Isley Brothers funk to test it out with. As long as it's clean, I'm ok with it.

My doors rattle also.... a bit from the rear as well.

This is one thing I'm a bit miffed about. They put this nice sound system in the car and don't take the time to get all the rattles out.

The plastic in the door with the ambient lighting is the reason for the rattle in the doors... it's rattling against the plastic mold. If you press your arm into it then it stops - I don't think this dynamat is going to fix that will it??

There are a few known issues with the rear interior trim. Some of the clips tend to break off, when the trim panel is installed, especially on left side. Also the speakers rattle the trim significantly when you play bass heavy music.

lol 25 isn't going to blow any speakers. Maybe 30 if these are low quality speakers, but as long as you are under 30 you are prob safe.

If you guys would hit the tone button and move all the music to the rear speakers, you may hear the rattle he's talking about. The front speakers mask it on mine, but it's definitely there.

Also HERE'S AN IMPORTANT TIP. The rear seatbelts, the metallic part of them, will rest against the hard plastic interior, and when there's vibration, they will rattle. My solution was to shove them in between the seats and the side. That might actually be what you are hearing.

Im noticing more and more speaker rattle from the rears, mainly on FM and XM, not on the USB playing high quality MP3s...

quickdraw · 06-29-2009, 06:36 PM

If your seatbelt buckle is rattling then just plug it into the other piece. Looks nice and is out of the way. I've had volume all the way up, 45, with all modes and clean sound, no rattle.

FNKNSTN · 06-29-2009, 06:50 PM

Hey Dude, don't listen to all these old-timers who never turn their stereo up past 15.

I've listened to a variety of music in my Camaro now. You listen to a lot of rap... and the natural EQ on the tracks are probably very heavy on their own. There's nothing you can do about it.

Just like old masters on CD sound flat, quiet, and muffled... your rap tracks are probably boombastic and super heavy on the bass.

If you put some sub's in the trunk, you might get the bass response you want without having to pump so much power to those rear speakers.

*** Install the subs. Adjust the fader to put more sound through the front speakers.

*** Or just fade more towards the front without the subs.

Wow. I had now idea the volume even went that high. I think 18 is the highest I've gone and it's damn loud.

I get some rattling from the passenger side, around the glove box, in songs with lots of bass. That's it, though. Then again, there is a vast difference between death metal and rap.

You must have been listening to a new, freshly mastered album.

You could get it up that high if you put on a low-quality album from 30 or 40 years ago that hasn't been remastered.

cblunt · 08-29-2010, 02:36 PM

im having the same problem, fixed the spoiler from rattling but i do notice the rear pannel is causing some rattling too. im tryin to see if its a loose screw or somthing but no luck yet. gonna try some different settings for the bass see if that helps. system is bangin though! and i bump hip-hop and heavy metal in this monster regardless of the rattle these people hear me coming,lol. for the hip-hop haters youd be surprised how many rappers are using our car in there videos so dont hate show love,lol. bottom line were all some lucky sob's for having the sweetest ride on the road right now! i know you feel like a celeb at every stoplight. caught a chick sittin shotty in her bfs rustang eyein my whip up and down,lol.

soccerupper90 · 11-19-2010, 12:02 PM

The rattle is driving me nuts too. I thought is was the latch that allows you to fold down the rear seat, but that was not it. It seems like it is coming from the rear center light.
