Annoying noise from roof

[BMcMahon]

So I go a new single cab truck this summer and decided to swap my 2 JL w0v3's from a sealed into a ported enclosure. The new enclosure aims the subs forwards and is ported out towards the right and left side towards the side wall. Since then many bass notes cause a very obnoxious vibration of the roof which causes a metal warping noise. This problem is fixed when I put pressure on the roof but am wondering if a new enclosure design would be a better idea than trying to secure the ceiling. I have read that forward facing ports might fix this but I don't want to sacrifice much bass though.

pulling the headliner and putting a few sheets of sound damping is what will actually fix it

the best thing to do is buy a box of stinger roadkill or even noico and do the doors and roof

Wedge a 2x4 between the top of the box and the roof. Thats probably 1 of the only options besides deadener on the roof.

Summertime? **looks at calendar**.....It's still March!! And still cold, still winter time in some areas. What planet you from?!

Easiest thing would be as stated already. Designing another box isn't gonna fix the rattle. Whatever gave you that idea?

It just means you are finally loud now. So no just sound treat your roof with deadener and foam between the crossbracings.
