I have a 2002 Protege sedan

I have installed a pioneer DEH-P6450 head unit and a pair of component pioneer 6" in the front doors , pair os 220watt pioneer 6x9's and a sub and not i have a rear shelf that rattles like all hell. Has anyone got any idea's on how to stop the rattle on the rear shelf??????????????????????

 

Mine rattles too! One of those things like the light dimming thing. At least there are more options with the rattling. I may get a Toyo PreRunner and chunk the Pro. Still thinking about it. I miss being up high. But at the same time my black pro is a pretty sweet ride though. It has some zip considering. Decisions, decisions.

Thanks guys i have removed the plastic rear shelf and all the plastic little plugs that hold it down rattle it as well. I got my installer to make a coistom shelf today and now it is nice and sweet. even if it did cost me 250 to get it done.

 

What?! $250?!?! I would have tried to do it myself and use dynamat, weather stripping, or something else before forking over that kind of money just to get the rattle out! Glad to see it worked for you though There is a guy on another site and he dynamatted his entire car--ceilings, doors, firewall, trunk, and every knick and cranny that was metal. I know he spent a fortune, but his system and car kicks ***. He just needs to do some performance mods and he's the ****. He also works for a stereo shop which always helps. No mention on the price, but one can only imagine!!! Probably close to $1K in dynamatting and labor alone!

did i mention that in the price was a bit of custom shelf work to. i now have that 6x9's mounted on a slop. I now great some great sound out of my mazda. now for engine work i think

 

That's what I'm doing man! I used up 70 sq feet of Brown Bread and I need at least 70 sq feet more! I have a long-a$$ thread about it also. If you search for "B-QUITE", you will find it.

 

Got Pics of the work?

How dare you ask such a question? Did you think that I didn't take pics? Go HERE and read/see all about it.

 

I was talking to Davo. I want to see what a $250 rear deck looks like. Your post must have come up before I hit "submit post." What happened to Squidword? He isn't part of the new EDesign box install any more? I love that show. Too bad I have regular t.v. now. There are a lot of shows I can't watch any more like Jessie James' Monster Garage. That guy is a genious!

oh I see... sorry then..

Squidword is ever-present. It's just that he doesn't want to take any credit for the work he does. I'll try and get one or two pics when he's not lookin'.

laterz!
