Default Anyone have the new Crystal Method cd or a bass rattle?

When certain levels or freq of bass are playing on my stock bose, stock settings i get a rattle coming from the rear passenger side trunklid speaker. Some songs cause it others don't. If you have the new crystal method cd, Track 4 causes it.

Does anyone else experience this?

Rear deck speaker? Mine rattles also. I think it's common.

Default Mine rattles too. Sounds like the rear passenger side more than the driver's.

Of course it depends on the type of music I am listening to. I usually adjust the bass down and its fine.

Default used to, had them fix it @ the dealership.

either fix (pad) the rear deck, or if it's one of the speakers, replace that.

Default Here's a quick fix (more)...

If you go into your trunk, tug down on the speaker baskets & wiggle 'em a 'bit. I'd bet that they've crept up out of their recess. If they have, you'll hear a click & feel them settle back down into the deck. I check mine all the time. It makes a HUGE difference. Good luck.
