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.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
