I have the shaker 1000 and everything rattles when the bass is on. I would never get the package again since the rattles are very, very annoying. I won't take it to dealership since they will mess it up more. I find my settings that somewhat work.

I've found the map pocket sometimes rattles but only on certain songs. Aside from that the car is rattle free. Maybe I don't crank my bass enough...

Shaker 1000 as well btw.

i had the same issue. There is a TSB for this. the rattle is from the door lock / window switch plate. the fix is to add some foam tape under the switch plate. Worked on mine!!

I get a rattle in the passenger door. It doesn't happen all of the time buy it's definitely from the bass. If I gently pull on the door pocket it stops. I'll eventually bring it in for it.

Try just touching the switch plate the next time just to ensure it isn't that. Additionally others have stated that the screws that hold the subs into the door panel have been silly loose causing rattles.

Was the umbrella still attached to a cherry and slice of orange??? (Just kidding)

I have the same rattle and can't figure out where it comes from... it almost appears that it comes from the upper part of the door panel, about midway. I don't play the music crasy loud, and the rattle is still noticable. However, there is no rattle otherwise, e.g. driving on rough surface roads, etc. So it must have to do with the speaker or pressure due to the bass in the door... don't know??

My rear view door mirror was rattling. Poped the glass out and tightened the screws behind it and all was good after that

Here is one of them that discusses the map pocket in the door:

TSB 09-12-7
TICK/POP/SNAPPING/BUZZ NOISE FROM DOOR PANEL WHEN OPERATING AUDIO SYSTEM - VEHICLES BUILT BEFORE 5/1/2009

I would disregard the built before date if this is the exact issue you are having. The one that fixed mine had similar dating and it was for the window switch plate but that was the exact issue..

I can't find the TSB from that site, it only listed (2) for the 2010 Mustang and they were mostly safety related.

The Grabber Blue i had to sell when I got custody of my kids from my crazy ex-wife. I needed a 7 passenger vehicle. We sacrificed the stand because i did not want (2) $500 a month car payments. In hind sight I could have done it because my work picked up tremendously about 4 months afterwards.... so here I am again with another stang.

I have the Shaker 500 and my doors have annoying shakes and vibrations at certain frequencies. I thought about pulling the door panels off and putting some kind of dynamat to get rid of all of it. One thing is they mounted the lower speaker to the door panel instead of the door itself. I guess "shaker" should be taken literal.

I do turn the volume up on the stereo full blast often, but I still should not get annoying vibrations from time to time at low volume.
