i have the same prob, but only with my left speaker, i found when the left window is up it stops the vibration slighty, and now when i been working on my car puttin the new system in, the speaker was actually loose from the pod

hope this helps slighty

turn the music DOWN

new some one would say that, lol.. it happens all the time even when the music isnt loud, like there is alot of rattling. ive taken the doors apart many times to try and find anything loose but havnt been able to. i put bits of foam tape around on some areas to try and stop vibrations but didnt help much.

Use sound deadening.

If you wanna checkout some pics hit cefiroz.com it's the first article there.

how much does that stuff cost per door?

There are a lot of different brands and types of sound deadening product available. Over here one of the cheapest and most value for money is a bitumen based product made by Bostik. It's about $100 for 10 500mmX500mm tiles. You heat em up to make em soft and flexible them stick to the inside of your panel as there is a peel away sticky side.

Go ask your local panel beater or hardware store if they have anything similar.

This can make a hell of an improvement.

Also check wires and lock/switch cables aren't rattling, zip tie and cover with sponge/foam to prevent rattling.

When I took my door-trims off, I banged on the door and listened for rattles. Half of it was from the door trim itself! Up and under the inside of the trim, where it sits on the window-sill, there are metal sort of hangers/reinforcements.

I had some strips of velcro spare, so I used the furry side, and cut them to length. Now it sits tighter, and hasn't made single sound!

Also, tighten the door-skin... speakers don't need much volume to make that stuff shake, and it sounds like there are shopping bags in the door if they're loose.

ah so its them damn metal hooks! i keep looking at them and think, narrr couldnt be them making all the noise, and then put the foam tape next to them :)

oh and by door skin, u mean the plastic thats stuck in there to stop the water from affecting the door trim, ay?

Nice one, RocketBoy!

Ethan, yeah, that's it! The crappy glue stuff on them has a lot of give, and the door-pods are ported at the rear. All the bass travels through the door, then tries to push the plastic door skin around. It just sits there flapping.

Glad to hear the tape on the metal hooks worked for you! Seems it's not just me, but a common problem that people are experiencing.

just put velcro (the furry side) on the metal hooks and its reduced the vibrations alot.. it doesnt sound like it about to shake apart anymore :angry: .. although there is still vibrations from the rest of the door (dont have sound deadening yet), there not as noticeable.

thanx heaps guys!

Yep, thats pretty much what I did with mine. The R33 have a large access hole that you can utilise to get your arms in and apply SD to the outer door skin (inside of outer door panel), this stop a lot of the large flat surface metal from resonating and help produce clearer and crisper notes in the mid/mid bass region.

I also cover my access hole with 6mm MDF then SD'ed over that when doing the inner skin.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
