Vibration from Subs

Post by Mr. Poopypants »

I just hooked up 2 Kicker 10's with a RF Punch 300 amp, it sounds good but I am getting vibration from a few places. The main vibration is coming from the two tweeter housings (I think) on the front of the front doors. There is also a small vibration coming from the back cargo area. I originally thought it was the license plate but it's not. Anyone run into the same problem or have any suggestions?

Figured it out. It is not coming from the tweeter housings at all. It is coming from the plastic lining underneath the inside door panel. If you take of the inside panel and look at the blue plastic, there are edges that are not glued down, trim these edges and you will have no more vibration.

Careful triming the plastic, that is a water deflector for inside the door. If not properly glued down or mispositioned, you may get a water leak into the inside. Has been an issue before on Grand Ams and Bonnevilles.

I only trimmed the excess, all of the plastic is still in tact and covering the holes, there was just a little extra on the outer edge outside the glue.
