When I used to mess with the car stereo a lot, duct tape was always a perfect solution. If something rattled, you could tape it up, or put sound deadener on it .. Or both.

I strayed away and started spending the money on performance / cosmetic stuff for the car, and left the car stereo scene almost altogether. However, due to a mishap the other week, one sub blew (without me knowing), and then the other was damaged due to the fact I was trying to get the same amount of sound out of half the power.

The surround on it tore, and it left me turning the sound down do to belching noises coming out of the sub at 2/3rds volume. I took it out today, duct taped both sides, and It's easily 3dB louder again (that's 2x as loud) ..

Lets here it for duct tape ! (and cheap subwoofers, that you can fix with duct tape!)

 

You better believe it. Duct tape and a hammer and you can fix anything.

 

Hehe or can be the weapons of distruction

 

don't forget the WD40

 

my favorite ..... Blue-tip speed wrench

(acetylene torch)

 

That's my mom's personal favorite. If anything makes a noise or sticks it's getting sprayed! This all kinda makes you wonder why they make tool boxes so big. Doesn't it? You only need three things.
Maybe four things since you can dismantle 3/4 of a Maxima with a 10mm socket.

 

Duct tape and a hammer eh? .. Well one of the subs is completely dead, maybe acouple of wacks will get it working again
