ok so I have 2 12s with 695 watts rms at 2 ohms powering them
it sounds like absolute ass from the outside, its embarrassing
I know there are many threads on this, but it seems no one has found a solution
I have fixed the rattling in the doors, the trunk floor, and the license plate itself
but the license plate bezel still rattles terribly
this is the part I mean, NOT THE ACTUAL LICENSE PLATE

Has anyone found a solution to this problem?
I will spend $300 on deadener if it will stop the rattling, but a lot of people say it does not work.

I have an easier solution than taking anything off and adding foam or anything..

Way back in the day, like a year ago, I had a 1,500 watt amp powering a Kicker L5. It was INSANELY LOUD! Anyway, you want to talk about rattling stuff, this thing could literally make the ground shake if you put your feet next to the tires during a good song. Since I had it pointed towards the rear of the car, it rattled the license plate bezel like you wouldn't believe. (Fried my battery on day 2 and the alternator a while after I took the sub out kindasad.gif . Funny story hahahah) My solution to keep stuff from rattling was simply to turn it up louder! If you can't fix the rattling, drown it out biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

Man, I was a young and stupid kid back then. Just so you guys know, I had that sub 3 months and decided I hated all sounds systems and there was a lot to be said for the subtleties of a factory system. I decided that when I realized I couldn't hear what anybody said to me anymore... I was seriously going deaf fast. Sold the whole setup for a grand total for $64. It was 3 months old, and only fully cranked once. Somebody got a GREAT deal! I've since gotten most of that hearing back, or I've learned to read lips better tongue.gif

God, I was a young and stupid kid.
