comp vr hitting grill

[cazorp 10+ year member]

ok well, i turned my bass up higher on my headunit today, my gain is set at right about halfway on my amp and i heard a weird noise coming from my trunk.

so i pop it and listen and all of the sudden i see what is happening.

my comp vr was hitting the kicker grill that is made for the subwoofer, the grill is metal and kind of sharp i dont want it to bust the woofer so i turned it down, is there anything i can do to fix this??? or do i just leave my bass down???

thanks

bigger grill, spacer under the mounting points of the grill, take it off, turn the bass down

well i would get rid of the grill, but i have to keep my golf clubs in my trunk and it sounds terrible rattling my golf bag so thats why i put the grills on in the first place.

any other ideas??

put spacers under the screw mounting points like i said. just use washers or plastic or even rubber gormets form o'riely's or home depot.

ahh good idea ... maybe weather stripping as a spacer??

would that work, it would probably have to be a good bit of space ... any better ideas for spacing??

thanks

firewall rubber gormets are the best. no rattle and you can screw right thourgh them. or even try wood spacers. drill a small hole thourgh it and then paint it black and tada theres a spacer

autozone, o'riely's, advanced auto parts. or even the faucet alise in home depot. i think there "water flow resistors" or something like that but go with firewall gormets there your best bet
