i've been following the posts on how to upgrade the stock system. i went out and got a JL system installed( 6.5 components in front, 6x9's rear's) and 8w7 in the trunk w/ a 500/5 jl amp....everything sounds good, but now my rearview mirror rattles when the bass is up...any suggestions?

I have the same problem. Even the smallest bump in the road vibrates my mirror. I read in an article if you have the auto dimming mirror this happens a lot and if you have just the basic mirror it takes a little more effort to shake the mirror.

Re: rearview mirror rattles

Have you checked the wires for the autodim in the back of the mirror? They tend to rattle a lot. There's even a TSB to fix it.

I don't prefer the sound of JL speakers, but the JL amps and subs are pretty damn good.

Re: rearview mirror rattles

hey igzoom, you have the setup that i want, can you please post a pic of how the sub fits in your trunk... how does it sound with just 1 jl 8w7? is it powered by a 500/1 amp? if so, is the bass good enuff? im thinking about going 1 8w7, if not enuff add another, please let me know how your setup sounds... i really want hard hitting bass...
