I installed pioneer front speakers in my 2011 GT some time ago

and I have been very happy with the sound but have been annoyed by a 'rattle' coming from the stock door woofer. This has been getting gradually worse and was so bad today I thought the woofer in the drivers door was broken.

So angrily I decided it had to be checked. Taking the door trim off I inspected the speakers and found them both to be intact. Running the shaker with the door trim off no discernible rattle. Increasing to full volume I noticed the 'sound duct' running along the length of the lower door to the woofer was rattling and was producing the sound which had made me think the speaker was knackered. In act the whole tube was vibrating and making the door tray vibrate.

I fitted self adhesive pads to the 'tube' so it made contact against the plastic inner door trim (the translucent white stuff). I re-secured the door trim as tightly as I could.

Now sounds fantastic again.

Should have taken pictures but didn't - sorry.

Anyway the long and short is that if you suspect your speakers membranes have broken check first before buying new.

It might just be all that plastic vibrating!

 

Thanks for sharing. What kind of "self adhesive pads" were you using?
