does anyone have a good way to prevent rattle noise that the mx-3 makes when the subs are being used ? cause my car makes a lot of noise wit the subs on and all my pannels are nice and tight and secure.

They also have spray on. It's a little pricy but well worth the $$$ if you dislike the rattle noise.

You could use the stuff thats used to seal joints on roof tiles. I done it in my mx-3 and it cost me about £40 to do it although you'll need 2 or 3 layers depending.

I suggest you take some time and find out exactly what's making the noise. You can line everything in dynamat or whatever, but you may be missing the 1-2 areas that are causing the most noise.<P>I recently discovered my 3rd brakelight housing was rattling against the surrounding plastic. Fixing that solved 99% of the rattling noise I was getting. <P>Previously I lined the metal with dynamat, but it only helped a bit. So you never know.

is your sub rattling or its making other things rattle?<P>If your sub itself is rattling you might have a burnt voice coil

I get the same thing - it sounds like its coming from the back bumper itself!

ya ive been thinking about doing that stuff but i know people who have done it and it didnt do anything<BR>its not the subs that are rattling its my car i guess lol i dont know it sounds like my spoiler is making the noise along with my back bumper. im taking the spoiler off in about 2 weeks maybe that will help [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]

I took out a lot of my panels(well, all of them in the hatch area actually), but the hatch itself is what rattles for me... o well, not a concern yet

I have rattling coming from my passenger door panel, is there anyway to tighten it?

Dynamat makes door kits.

I have the luck of being a car audio installer, so I get stuff at cost, and I have dynomatted both doors, the entire hatch area top to bottom, and the license plate, and I have not heard a single rattle. I also got a few cans of the spray, and sprayed the insides of the doors, and any area in the hatch that might cause a rattle with enough vibration. If you want people to look to see where that boom is coming from and not what car sounds like it is falling apart at the seams I suggest dynomating it, and maybe a few cans of spray as well.

ya my bro just had that stuff done on his mustang and no more rattle, all i need now is more money and ill have it done too

Look into Rammat 60. Great stuff and cheaper. Go to elitecaraudio and do a search.
