Well, I listen to pretty much all styles of music except country (not that there's anything wrong with Country music).

I have a 12" Polk Audio sub in a sealed box. I checked it out again, and yes - the wiring loom does vibrate. I am going to remove it, wrap it in thin foam wrap, and re-install it to see if that helps.

Just as a note - a lot of people don't realize the "rattle" or vibration is heard more when standing OUTSIDE to the rear of the car.

Keep in mind, the soft top is also vibrating. The plastic window makes a hell of a noise when the system is cranked. I tried two fixes this weekend, and it was a little better, but not good enough to make it permanent. I have come up with a couple of ideas since then and I will try the above and the new ideas this week.

I also installed my FIAMM air horns this weekend, DAMN are they ever loud!!

Will keep y'all posted.

Peace,

I'm going to dynamat the trunk area. I'm hoping that will help with most of the rattles.
