Hi, I'm pretty new to this forum, and i've been reading a lot of posts and searching, but i haven't found my answer, but i have gained a lot of knowlage from reading them.
well here's my problem:
I just installed my Two Alpine 12" type-r sub's i installed them w/ a custom made box from supercrew sound, and it fires down into the floor. they are both powered by a Kenwood KAC-9152D, next week i'm getting another (alpine 1.1000), inside it sounds amazing, but on the outside it sounds like my truck is going to split in two...
I currently own a 2002 F150 SuperCab Flareside. I have no idea whats rattleing, you hear more rattle then bass.
Does anyone have any idea on what could be making all that noise? would dynamat help at all?
Any help would be appreciated.
thanx.

 

Are your windows up or down when it rattles?

 

So its rattling on the outside?

 

Climb under that thing and start searching around. I read in a truck mag that using a length of water hose held up to your ear can point you towards those rattles. Dynamat can help once you find the offending rattle. I buy mine off ebay.

 

Could be the exhaust shields.

 

follow link in my sig about my box, around post 70 i think i was mentioning my installation of my box, and sound insulation at same time. I installed my soundeadener from ebay, and it was pretty inexpensive compared to true dynomat. Onlything that rattles now (only on really hard bass cranked) is one spot in dash, and the rear cabin pressure seals.

Thanx for all the responses guy, i'm going to go outside and check it out now.
The rattleing will occur when the windows are up or down.
