door panels rattling after head unit upgrade

[JesseW.]

I just installed a pioneer 4400. with my infinity componets, holy hell it sounds awesome, except my door panels sound like they are falling apart. i can press on the armrest area and it stops. i've already glued the door handle bolt cover down, how do i stop the rest from rattling like a tin roof.

i'm thinking some of that expanding foam in a can might be good.

Did you try pulling the door panel off itself? Is it both door panels or just one?

There is a TSB about door rattle. They put some foam tape on the window switches iirc.,.
Search the TSB thread for door rattle.

I used some double stick tape on all those small pieces. Worked pretty good too.

sweet, thanks guys! going to hobby lobby to pick up some foam tape

bought some foam tape and went to town on the window switches and it helped a lot, not that i can hear it now.

I spent the rest of the day installing the 05-09 JL stealth box 13W6 with an Apline M500 mono amp. my gf now really enjoys the seats when the bass hits. it's one of the loudest single subs i've ever heard. i had to turn the gain all the way down to level out the bass with the rest of the stereo.
