You may want to look at my homepage and check out what I did. The rattle is completly gone and I couldn't be happier with my system.

was porting the deck worth it? did it make a significant diffrence in the subs and less rattling?

Well I could immediately tell the difference in sound and feel of my subs. All that air being moved around needed to go somewhere. I bet it would have still rattled a little bit if I didn't port it. I was going to port the rear deck the same as my box is ported, but I couldn't find the black trim piece so I decided the bose grille and a bigger hole would look better. If you have a big system, I would totally recommend it. Out of everything I've done to my max, that was the best decision I've made. Good luck

i have a sealed box with a pretty powerful system so i think i wanna do this. what did u use to cout out the hole and where did you find the bose grille?

that way of taking away rattles is dam good too...what whats the secret to making that perfect shape of the decklid with the foam?

SLICKRICK - I used sheet metal clippers to cut the hole, but you could use anything. Heavy duty scissors for that kind of stuff, but I don't know about a dremel. I think the plasic would melt when cutting and the fibers on the rear deck would get tangled in it.

I got the Bose Grille from Courtesy Nissan in Texas. I don't know the web site, but do a search and you will. It's not on their website so you'll have to call. I think it was about $18

OOMAX - After completely removing the rear deck hold the foam up in the window. I got a large sharpie marker and traced the back shape onto the foam. I then cut that off and had to do some more trimming to get the part by the window to fit right. Then I trimmed the front down until it all looked right. By taking the rear deck completely off and out of the seat belts will help you. Make sure everything fits under neath it all before putting the rear deck back together.

Be4 you go cutting anything, call DaveB or the stealership and find out how much it would cost to replace the rear deck lid

Kojiro_FtT: Cool site

As for taming the rattles... im still trying to figure that out myself, for you guys running sealed it "may" be possible but in my case Im still working on it though.

its just a thought. it seems that stupid cut in it makes the rear deck worse. but this summer i plan on deadening with edeadv3 and thought that "porting" the rear deck would be cool. quick ? hitman. on the ooold post about my subs and porting with xmax, with that program i was playing with it because i was bored and i have a quick ?. when i do cone excursion, is that both ways, or just 1 way xmax?

oomax

i did it today
i didnt cut a hole in the deck i just put the foam stuff on the bottom
its all good no more rattles\
thank you all for your help =)

On WinISD, when your messing with the cone excusrion, the program reads it as a "full" stroke. So if your xmax was about 18.2 (something like that) your good all the up to 2x that on the sim, so about 36.4mm would be your limit be4 things get out of hand and you enter into xsus.
