Deputy Dog - 03 Feb 2008 20:34 GMT
A while back I installed an aftermarket sound system in my 96 GTS. This is
the problem.....since I now get great bass response when certain bass notes
orlow frequncies hit I get a vibration sound. I have the speakers isolated
by mounting them with a neoprene ring between them and the mounting
surface(doors and rear deck). It sounds like a "buzz". I think I may have a
feww broken tack welds some where in the trunk hood or in the area. I really
can't pin it down any further than that. Has any one had this problem before
and if so how did ya manage to deal with it?

Hey dwight, which sound shop did ya use to get your head unit installed, I
may need to purchase some sound dampening material(to  try and solve my
problem) from them if they have it.

Thanks

Not silly at all, it was a contributor to the problem. I managed to use some
cardboard to do some temporary wedgeing till I get some dynamat to kill it
perm like.

Be just slightly considerate of others and turn down your f.cking radio.

Theres always someone that has nothing to contribute to a conversation but
has to open their mouth anyways. Aren't there some kids on your lawn you
need to yell at?

Ohhhh Mental wizard, the radio or cd doen't even have to be turned up for it
to happen. It happens to be a class set up which  happens to replicate sound
quite accurately which causes the harmonic vibration. Maybe the next time
you open that little brown round spot undr the horses tail you use for a
mouth, you might want to have at least half an idea of what you are talking
about.

Purchase some B-Quiet or another sound dampening product. It wil
eliminate most rattles and increase the DBs in the cabin.

My apologies Dave, I stumbled on your post immediately after getting
home from a hellish commute, complete with being stuck for almost
an hour next to a black wannabe loser blasting his "my life sucks and
it's all your fault" hip hop garbage.

I took it out on you and I'm sorry.

Don't be too sorry of the principle.  Where the hell did civility go?  I
guess burnouts at stoplights impress you guys too?

   Get that Bass MeKanic CD and run around outside the car feeling
different spots to see if you and find it. Of course you know you asked
for this problem because a GTS is not supposed to HAVE a radio... :oP

While I do disagree with the appraoch, although I think the apology
was a good act, there are an awful lot of inconsiderate people out
there who don't mind infringing on your, or anyone else's, space with
their stereos. In a great many cases, they are the same ones who would
go ballistic if you were to infringe upon their space. I believe in
the olden days when I was growing up it had something to do with
something called respecting the rights of others; including the right
not to have your ears violated to the point of a migraine while stuck
in traffic. Talk about justification for road rage.........

Boy do I agree there are a lot of inconsiderate people in the world.
Unfortunately my Son and my SO's Daughter are two of them. I can tell
when they arrive in the area because the bass rattles the windows in
the house. I've discussed this with my Son repeatedly with only
limited success. Lately he turns down the stereo before he arrives
home. I can only hope he does at other times as well. When on the open
road, I could care less how loud someone else plays their stereo. But
for goodness sake, why do some people think they need to keep basting
the stereo while they are in a store, or buying gas. I can't tell you
how often I am at a gas station and there is a car in an adjacent bay
with the base so loud it is rattling the windows in my car - and often
the owner of the car is not even at the car - they are inside the
store paying for the gas or buying something. I have the same
complaint about cars in stop and go traffic. When I had a convertible
it was annoying to be trapped in traffic next to some Rap/Rock/Country
Music enthusiast with the stereo so loud the sides of his vehicle were
vibrating. Seems that people who listen to NPR never have the need to
play Morning Edition or Car Talk at 200 dB. I already know that my Son
has permanently impaired his hearing. I predict a booming business for
hearing aides....

...and more.  That kind of crap burns me.  I'm certainly not pro-
violence, but those kinds of people need to be escorted off the planet's
surface.

Because they need to show the world that they are _badass_ with their
big sounds.  It's personal insecurity at its finest.

Solution: Rip keys out of ignition and throw across heavy traffic.

How about some Mozart played at 3/4 volume through a 5,000 watt stereo?

Seriously Ed, if it were my son and he came around my house with that
kind of disrespect, I'd kick his lousy a.s from here to kingdom come and
tell him not to show his puss until he learned what "respect" means.

I like Barber's 2nd Orchestral Essay at full volume, but that final chord
could blow my speakers. And I don't care if people I pass by are surprised
to hear Rachmaninoff piano concertos being played at healthy sound levels.

Seriously, though, I'm one who likes to play my music loud, but I think I'm
mindful when there are others close enough to hear. I don't inflict my
tastes on others around me consciously, and if I forget to lower the volume
at a red light, I apologize.

My stepson was that way, and his mother would have allowed it to
continue, but I put it to him that he was disturbing the neighbors,
and that if he didn't stop and turn the tunes down BEFORE he entered
the residential area, he was going to lose the wheels I had co-signed
for. Not saying he was 100%, but he did give it a darn good effort,
and seldom was a problem after that. We won't mention the homemade
pipebomb found after he moved to his own place. LOL

I actually had one of these guys in the right lane next to me stopped with
an open window directly adjacent to my F-450's Powerstroke Turbo Diesels
Giant side pointed tailpipe.  After a few seconds of total irritation, I
revved it up over 3000 RPM and smoked this little A$$ out, it was pumping my
exhaust directly into his window.  Boy was he pissed, turn about is fair
play.  My passenger and I couldn't help but break out laughing.  We enjoyed
reliving that case of perfect timed poetic justice that for many months...

Yet another reason why I allow plenty of separation, even when stopped at a
light. I've pulled up alongside Nobody many times, where their stupid bent
tailpipe is blowing exhaust in my face.

It takes all the enjoyment out of my smoking, y'know.

It is the factory tailpipe Dwight, from a 2005 "CLEAN" diesel, and at an
idle is far less offensive than your cigarettes or stereo.

Is that one of those pipes with exhaust that I could feed into my oxygen
tanks? 'Cause I keep one on the passenger seat at all times, and it can
never be too full.

And I've already pointed out that you wouldn't hear my stereo, if we were
sitting at a red light.

You're taking your life into your own hands there.  Big truck/small man
syndrome is rampant today.

   That goes both ways, most people say guys who drive really powerful
muscle cars are compensating. So I guess that's you instead of the truck.

Yeah, I keep hearing that saying. Hell, my sister-in-law tried it on me.

But I guess the word is getting out, because I get 20 to 30 emails each and
every day from people willing to help me with my weenie winkie.

Have you taken a look at Jegs, Summit, or any of the other catalogs on
line. I was just browsing Jegs as I prepare to go forth and do battle
with the day, and they carry a waide range of sound absorbant
material.
