Sub System rattle?
Has anyone had any problems with rattling from a sub you have put in? If so, what was the rattle from and what system did you have?
I havent had this problem myself, just curious if the c5s have that problem at all...

Vert/FRC's have a plastic interior piece that runs underneath the rear window, right next to where a partition would sit. That is known to rattle a bunch. I stuffed some of Cowboy's insulation kit in there and taped it down to make it sit tight when it was snapped into place and it no longer rattles.
Sound deadening + a bit of time searching out rattles = rattle free ride

What kind of dynomat did you use, and how affordable is it? Also, what did that job intail, as far as stripping out yoru interior i mean... i suppose it would be a good thing to get done if you are a system kind of guy and if you are getting a new interior or seats or something like that anyways...

1250 total watts...650 going to 1 12" sub....only rattle is the license plate and it is only slightly noticable outside my Z.
BTW...no sound proofing done. I will if rattles start, but so far this system has been in the car for almost 1 year.
