My subwoofer sucks (01 Max SE). The thing rattles like there's no tomorrow. I took it to the dealer three times. The first time, they "fixed it", with no difference. The second time, they replaced the entire subwoofer, which was moderately better for a few days and then worse than ever. The third time, they "tightened it up" and it sounded pretty good for a month or two, now its rattling just as bad as ever. I'm pretty sure there was a TSB on this but it doesn't seem to matter. If I pop the trunk and push on the bottom of the magent while I have the music bumping, the rattling stops. What's the problem here?

My old 89 Max SE with the Bose 6x9s in the back, no sub, had more thump than this POS.

Try his fix

 

maybe they didn't surround the subwoofer with double sided adhesive tape......

 

I have/had the same problem and the dealer did the same thing. It isn't the dealer's fault. Blame Nissan. Get yourself a second amp and some subs and dynamat back there... I'm in the process of this right now.

 

I do blame Nissan, but I wish the dealer could fix it. I'm not going to spend any of my own money to fix the damn thing, that's for sure.

 

thats y i ripped out the whole system. $1000 bucks well spend on that freaking stupid ar$e bose the sub is a joke. i have the bose am-7 at home, and it is excellent. so i thought the car one would be good as well. if i would have known that it would freaking blow in a couple of years, neber would i have gotton it...

dynamat the rear deck,,,it might work ask y2kse,,,he would know

 

I am mad also at the Bose system that i have in my car , the rattling s unbearable! I a currently changing out the system and using the bose speakers from the 97-99 maximas since the sound is 100X better. the dealer has no idea how to fix the problem!

 

What I did was roll up pieces of cut up bath towels (used duct tape to keep then in a ball) and stuffed them under the rear deck around the opening of the Sub-woofer. Adding this tension to the deck stoppped the rattles. Has been quiet for a year now.

 

...and get yourself and Infinity Basslink

 

nice idea,,,perhaps this should be a sticky

 

Time to mod my SUB

Good idea and kudos. I will let you know how it went.

 

i got mine fixed myself
if you look at the back dash you will see that the dash board is kind of short and it is very shakey
what i did was i took the dash out and i took owens corning insulation and insulated it and then i put it back on
and guess wat the rattle was gone

you can also take 5 pencils and stick them where the dash meet the window
that works too

hope i helped

 

buy aftermarket subs..the BOSE sub sucks....i blew mine out after a month!!....lol

 

Blown or not have Nissan fix it under warranty, don't let them slide.

 

go to my homepage...then you'll see what i did to solve my problem with bass....

 

don't u think jennifer lopez's ar$se is 2 big ,,,if you watch ANACONDA, you will notice that the camera stays away from her ar$e as much as possible,,,and when they do show it,,,,DAMN it's big,,,but now she has slimmed down a lot,,,which means smaller ( . ) ( . )
