Door vibrations - how to dampen?

Artificial Life · Postby **Artificial Life** » Mon Jun 23, 2008 12:37 am

I've got an NC hardtop, and what I've found with the factory stereo (the Bose / 7 speaker one) is that the door trims vibrate from the main speakers even at low/mid volume levels (9-13, for anyone that has one).

Has anyone else solved this with padding or foam in the doors? Which solutions work?

Warranty.......if I had the problem.

Yes, I would warranty it as there must be something loose/faulty. Let them chase it.

Already did that (a certain Waterloo based dealer), no result

you could try checking it out yourself by removing the panels and seeing if anything is loose

Some people put 'dynamat' aka sound proof material into the doors and seal up the speakers. Apparently improves sound quality while blocking out road noize.

Only audo freaks do it. its aprox 5kg per door :shock:

I've talked to the dealer again, and they're going to replace the speakers. If that doesn't manage to fix it, I'm going to go some kind of additional damping solution. Thanks everyone!
