Speaker Rattle
Is ther anyway to stop the speaker rattle in my 92 VX hatch? All stock mounting brackets and the speakers are pioneer 6 1/2 3 way 220's? Any suggestion will be nice.

Start insulating stuff. Stick foam strip on the back edges of panels, lay down a little electrical tape, shove a paper towel in the cracks, it really depends on what is rattling. I'll take a look at it tomorrow.

Dude... simple sound deadening material can be used... look into peal&seal from home depot, raamat, dynamat xtreme..to be used on vibrating metal panels... if you have plastic panels that are vibrating.. try some 3M #77 spray glue and some carpet padding and apply on the underside of the plastic panel to provide some sound cushioning.

What happens if he starts stuffing paper towels in his door panels and low and behold it rains... soaked paper towels can be a short circuiting hazard...or worse.

Besides, anything that could possibly get wet, you would use something like foam strip or electrical tape... like I suggested in my original post.
