Hey guys,

I want to say i am very disappointed. After installing 2 12" Subwoofers and amp, i got so much rattling from the rear area, its rediculous. None of my other cars sounded this bad before (mind you this is the same system that was in all my other cars)> This includes my 2002 Maxima, 2003 Maxima, 2006 300C.


So i took apart the whole interior in the rear, the seats, rear deck, rear armrest, and removed teh factory 10" bose subwoofer. It still rattles. Then i found out the ROOF liner is rattling. I think i gotta remove teh roof now!!

Anybody else have this problem with aftermarket systems?

 

same here, all my rattling is in the front though. that and even at the lowest volume, my whole trunk lid rattles like a ****! im always afraid ima crack a light or somthing! i have 2 12'' Kicker CVR's and a 1000w kicker amp

 

What do you guys expect? When you start adding subwoofers, you need to dynamat the whole car if you don't want rattles... I don't see what the complaint is? I don't put any aftermarket speakers/subs in my car for that very reason, you WILL have rattles unless you insulate everything

 

i disagree, i know dynamat helps ALOT in some cases. however, i have a friend with an 04 golf w/2 12'' alpine type r's and an amp (cant remember wattage), he can turn his **** all the way up, no rattles whatsoever! but i guess with the G, this is one of those jobs for dynamat...

 

And is there any guarantee that the Dynamat will really work - could drive you nuts going back and forth trying to isolate. Would an enclosure in the trunk make a difference?

 

thats because type r's suck?

 

No seriously,

LIke i said in my original post.

This car rattles really badly. WORSE THAN ANY CARS I EVER OWNED.

And some of the rattles are not just rattles, but sounds like a broken subwoofer. At first i thought the pressure from my subs was bottoming out the factory BOSE sub. So i removed it, and it wasnt the case.

There is something in the roof banging. I think dynamat will fix the rear parcel tray, but my god. I thougth this was an INFINITI, not a damn dodge NEON!!

I usually dont dynamat my other cars because only my trunk rattles which i can't hear inside the car. But this car, sounds like a ccomplete tear down.

 

I only have one JL 12" and I know excatly what your talking about. I could just image with 2 of them. Im just waiting for some free time to dynomat the whole car.

 

im curious .. how long would it take to fully dynomat a car and how much would it cost ? O_O

 

Other than a mild buzz in the speakers, this car, after 17k miles has ZERO rattles.

 

Sorry dude, having problems with your install must be frustrating. But can't agree with your comment, simply because the G rattles when you put in stereo equipment it was never meant to have. If other cars stand it better, so what - the G probably lacks some sound-proofing so it weighs less.

I would expect if I put in TT and did nothing else, that I would have tranny problems - not the car's fault.

Good luck tho.

 

I find it hard to believe it rattled worse than your 2002 Maxima. The rear deck on the Maxima was absolutely terrible. I finally had to install 2 rubber bump stops between the deck and the window.

 

+1

So you add two new 12" subs and your G starts rattling? Hmmm, what a shocker.

 

i totally agree..my cousin has 1 12" in his 03 maxima, and that trunk lid makes a horrendous bit of noise
