Rattle in the soundbar

[Jeep_X03]

I bought new Phoneix Gold Tantrym Coaxials 5 1/4 for my back soundbar they put out 55rms and peak at 110, everytime it hits a base note the whole thing rattle a littel its not even playin that hight maybe just halfway and my "sub" level isnt even up high i was thinkin to buy dynomatts or something to reduce the rattle will it work? thx oh yea when i hole the soundbar still with my hands no rattle at all it is not the speaker that is lose i think it just makes the sound bar shake a littel but as i said not at highvolume

Polyfill and maybe tighten down the sound bar sounds like it or something in it is rattlin.My dome lights were in the new sound pods until I put a dab of clear RTV inside to hold them still

Sorry polyfill is what they use to make fill for baby blankets and use thiker stuff in sleeping bags for kids .Find it in any hobby shop or section at wally world and RTV is another name for silicon, clauking ,gasket maker find it at wally world and auto places

U can get dynomatt or something like it at Circuit City or "worst" buy. I have my entire truck linned with it, and its solid, no rattles. You can also go to Home Depot or Lowes and get that spray in stuff, but its dangerous cause it expands FAST! I have seen people ruin pannels on their vehicles for spraying too much in there.

does that dynomatt really work cuz i bought it to put in my rear soundbar but idk really know how to work with it, and is the spray stuff better?? thx !

I just replaced my rear soundbar speakers (2003 Sahara) with Sony Xplode 5 1/4" speakers. While making the change, I filled the void in the soundbar with polyfill. It seems to have made a big difference in the amount of shaking and the sound seems richer and fuller than before. Polyfill can be found at any craft store but you should also be able to find it a WalMart, KMart, Target, etc. Look in the fabric section. Polyfill is used to stuff pillows, etc.

by the void he means the area behind the speaker. Stuff some in there, install the speaker, and it should be good. What the polyfill does is trick the speaker into thinking the box is bigger, so it will produce fuller, richer sound.

k cool, but see i already bought dynomat extrem, and i was thinkin should i put that stuff inside the sound bar like where the speaker go, or just where i install the speaker the picture only shows install it like rite under speaker but should i also install it in the walls of the soundbar?


cuz i was thinkin the directions say put the dynomatt between the speaker and the soundbar, but will that really help the rattle?
