///MPROVD 131 Report post Posted December 13, 2015 Cheers guy packs a punch with it turned right up. Vibrates the rear parcel tray but if i put my hand on it the vibration stops so i might have to pack it slightly with foam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m325i 705 Report post Posted December 14, 2015 ^ try the tennis ball trick. I.e. jam tennis balls under the tray to stop vibration. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
///MPROVD 131 Report post Posted December 15, 2015 I tried fixing it yesterday afternoon but i just cant stop the vibration. I wanted to do it properly so i lifted the parcel try and couldnt find anything specifically rattling i put soft plastic mounts between shelf and sub slightly better but i think its just the thin steel shaking with the vibrations ill try with soft rubber and see if it helps. In the mean time the sub level is down low to prevent noise Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WYZEUP 281 Report post Posted December 15, 2015 would suggest mounting somehere else or perhaps try mounting foam/rubber matting in between or your other option may be get some dynamat and line the parcel tray with that Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
///MPROVD 131 Report post Posted December 15, 2015 I really dont want to have to move it if it came to that i would rather remove it. Yeah ill give some matting ago see how it goes. thanks man Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neal 511 Report post Posted December 15, 2015 Mount it to a 22mm Mdf panel that's almost the width of the parcel shelf. Carpet and attach via Iso fix mount nuts and use rivnuts with standoffs as well.It should stiffen up the parcel shelf enough. Otherwise mount it above your battery tray. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
///MPROVD 131 Report post Posted December 16, 2015 Thanks Neal ive ordered some anti vibration mounts that should hopefully isolate the sub from the tray. Ill keep you posted on how this goes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hunter 402 Report post Posted December 16, 2015 this anti rattle DIY might help you out. When i pulled my rear deck to fix rattles the double sided tape under the rear plastic trim helped a lot. http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=880622&highlight=rear+deck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
///MPROVD 131 Report post Posted December 16, 2015 Awesome thanks for that ill definitely give this ago if the rubber mounts fail. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
///MPROVD 131 Report post Posted December 17, 2015 Vibration solved rubber mounts worked a treat they cost $30 but well worth it to stop the vibration 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neal 511 Report post Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) Glad it's worked out. When I did my build I noticed how that area would easily vibrate. The rubber suspension will stop the low end extension a bit, but far better than put up with Rattles. That treatment in the link above is more applicable if your running factory subs where drivers directly load the rear parcel and the air moment causes some flapping of the parcel shelf cover and the shelf. The issue here was more of the metal vibration by the coupling of sub and parcel shelve . Edited December 17, 2015 by Neal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
///MPROVD 131 Report post Posted December 17, 2015 Your spot on there is does slightly reduce low end but ive turned it up and just as good now. Thanks for the info Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

///MPROVD 131 Report post Posted January 21, 2016 Hey another slight update brought a few stock exhaust and i wanted to gut one and see what it sounds like and before you judge me i will have anoth stock one to revert back to if it sounds like crap they were very cheap so it doesn't matter either way. Not finshed yet (on holiday at the moment) just thought id post what ive done. I went thought 3 cutting disc and a big rubbish bag of what looks like hair. Only removed baffling from chambers 2, 3 and 5 may do chamber 1 depending on how it sounds 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
