Speaker Panel Vibration

[BloodBlight]

I am in the process of upgrading all of the components of my system. And one of the issues I am trying to solve in this project in vibration I am getting from the left speaker panel in the door. The speaker cover has broken the little melt points, and vibrates like crazy. Sooo, I first tried dyno-matting it (since the clips still work fine), and that didn’t work. Tried a few other simple things, those didn’t work, and just now I tried using a binary epoxy that I use a lot. It’s like a 1600 PSI epoxy, and it worked great, for about 30 secs at high volume. Then it started again. The front drivers is kinda expensive, so there is no way I am running them with out the covers, and the unusual shape of the opening prevents a clean switch to another grill...

Any suggestions???

I am thinking trying the epoxy again, just goopin’ the piss out of it rather than the nice fine coat I used this time...

Well the only draw back to epoxy is that it really wont handle the high amounts of vibration. You might almost want to try JB Weld or something of the sort, mixed with a spray can of sound dampening.

Can you verify exactly what is making the vibration sounds? Is it the grill, the mount, or a panel inside the door itself?

Maybe go to a junk yard and try to find another grill.

Hot glue

That is another good option, but personally if you are going to use it, I would try that really high temp black hot glue, holds alot better.

And if you try to glue, epoxy or any of the above, do yourself a favor and rip up the surface a little bit to give it something to hold to don't forget even a lil wire brush action can give it a good hold.

Good luck
