Rear Bose Subwoofer Rattle!

[zerg711]

Ok, I have a very annoying Subwoofer rattle. I need to know if an easy solution exists. I am covered under warranty so I guess that is my last resort, but I seem to have minimal time currently.

With some bass on the rear mesh metal subwoofer housing seen from the rear seat vibrates annoyingly. I am pretty sure this is my problem since if I push the outer housing down with my hand, the vibration is gone. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

+1, the dealer replaced my rear sub under warranty and it still exists. the rear deak rattle is pissing me off. comes to a point where i just turn the bass down. The loaners cars G35/G37 does not have this issue.

I remember other owners having to resolve the rattle on their own. You will need to make an effort to isolate the noise and devise your own solution. Unless the dealership has determined the cause of the rattle and have a permanent solution. The noise is most likely either the rear deck or metal components in the trunk vibrating.

I was lucky enough to get the dealer to isolate the issue. In my case it is the rear deck. The service guy stated that the deck had come loose from the metal frame that supports it, and is vibrating against the frame. When it is cool outside it rattles like a muted tin can with a rock in it (slight exaggeration). When it is over 70 outside, only 1 day so far, it is much less pronounced. I guess knowing is half the battle....GO JOE!!!!!! Um...sorry. I can see a few more trips back to the dealer to get it resolved. The last trip didn't fix it, and I haven't had time to take her back. Looks like the Elite Warranty will pay for itself if they can remedy this.
