Can you feel the rumble...

Post by VIBEwithanO »

Not sure if this one goes here, but I think it's the best place to put it.Recently I got a new CD (INXS Switch, don't laugh ) and while I was playing one of the tracks (Track 3, Afterglow) I noticed that the bass seemed a little more powerful and slightly off tempo to the song. I fiddled with the equalizer and tried other songs with no reasoning as to this phenomena. I asked around and had one of my buddies listen to it, and he (he's a music major, so leave it to him to figure this out) diagnosed it as the song causing harmonic resonance throughout the car (that means the car is buzzing, literally) and that that is why the bass seemed off tempo, the vibrations coming slightly later than the actual beat. He even figured out the musical key signature of the notes causing this to happen (it's D, for any who care).Has anyone else seen this or had this happen? Do I just have an odd vibe? I'd appreciate some feedback.edit: I'm not complaining (my girlfriend loves it), I just don't want to have my car shake to pieces or cause some other untoward problems. Everything is stock, no mods yet.

Not sure what entails having the "moon & tunes" package. From what I've read, it seems I have the Sun and Fun package, though the only part of that package I'm aware of is the sun roof, which I have.Where would the sub be? I've been all over this car and haven't seen it. Perhaps I'll try to post an mp3 of it.

if you haven't seen a sub then you don't have one It's located in the rear hatch area on the passenger side.

Things to look for with the Moons and TunesTweeters in the front door fins by windowsSunroofSub in the back hatch area on passenger side (NOT IN THE 04'S GRRRRR)Amp under pasenger front seat.That is cool though. Maybe I will have to find that CD, just to try it. Maybe you just have a crazy Vibe, either way cool find.

No moon & tunes for me. I guess I just have a weird vibe. Maybe that's a good thing.

There are Vibes with M&T *without* the subwoofers in the back. Did you check under the passenger seat for an AMP?

The only thing under my passenger seat was a roll of duct tape. So definitely not a M&T for me.
