Default Anyone with aftermarket subwoofer experience rattling....

from outside of the car
I found out that the rear trunk got a lot of rattles when I go outside of the car

also the grille behing the back seat got quite a lot of rattles too

anyone know how to fix them?

Default Depends on what you are packing in the trunk ... let us see :-)

.... There is a dynamat trunk kit you could use.<ul><li><a href="http://www.dynamat.com/car_trunk_kits.htm">http://www.dynamat.com/car_trunk_kits.htm</a</li></ul>

Default I've got rattling coming out of my right muffler

Sounds like "fart" sometimes. Can't describe the sound exactly...sorry. I need to check another Audi...

Default Re: Anyone with aftermarket subwoofer experience rattling....

My sub is hanging off the rear deck in the trunk, so naturally, it was causing some major rear deck rattles initially, until I stuffed some Dynamat and weather stripping between the metal frame of the rear deck and the rear deck upholstery (the shelf behind the back seats with speaker grilles attached to it).

As far as outside rattles, my trunk license plate frame rattles a bit, or is it the trunk lock mechanism. Anyway, I haven't bothered to fix that yet. From what I know, it's a major PITA.
