Underseat Subs, Vibrating Cill's
So...on a beautiful morning like today there I am driving around with the windows down, playing my music with my new speakers installed and what do I get.........................loads of vibration from the passenger side cill area when the bass kicks in.
Has anyone experienced this at all? I have done a quick search of the forum but couldn't find anything Cheers Gaz. |

Hi Mate,
Im thinking of taking off the sideskirts and putting a thin layer of foam tape on all surfaces to see if that dampens the rattle. I didnt have a camera to hand only my phone so I have some dodgy Iphone pics to upload. Im at work at the moment so will get a thread uploaded later this evening. I must admit im gutted about your Morel's but tbh im rather impressed with the Ground Zero's although they are not a straight swap like they make out they are lol. |

its because the under seat sub enclosure port faces the side skirt and causes the rattle -
mine rattles as I have earthquake subs and the only thing I can suggest is take off the side skirts add foam strips or block up the port hole (I would suggest the former to try first) |

Mine rattles too on the passenger side - I've had a look & a rummage under the seat but there's nothing loose under there. It didn't start straight after the upgrade but started a few weeks later - I'll have to take the speaker out & have a look - is there anything I should be wary of when moving the seat out of the way?

Mistryn, thanks for the reply.
Im going to try and block the hole to see if it is that, if it is then I will take off the skirts and tape em up. IanS100, Mine is the passenger side too. If you want to remove the seat to have a look make sure you disconnect the battery first or you will have a warning light on the dash if the seat plug gets accidently disconnected, then you will have to go and get cleared by your friendly neighbourhood Bmw Stealer lol. |

If that chap backs out, then they will be up here for sale. Guys Rattling is due to 2 reasons; 1- Your underseat gains are not correct. 2- The metallic chamber behind passenger side skirt is slightly different to driver side. (theory). Solution; 1- Take the underseat out and apply the sound deadening stuff from there to the inner side of that chamber. 2- If you are going to take the side skirt off, then make sure you apply thinest layer of the sound deadening (may be NASA compatible, in micron), otherwise you may struggle to fit the side skirt back. All the best and kindly report back.
