Guys, I've been meaning to ask this for a while now. So, do anyone know what the small box, next to the sub, is for? can I remove it because it's making noise when my sub hits.

Plus, I'm going to add rear speakers, so I may use that opening.


It's to the right of the sub if you are looking from the back.

Thanks.

 

it the nav brain or xm I think

 

in my car its the XM.

 

I don't have xm or nav... I have all aftermarket stuff.

 

in my car its the Seatbelt...

 

Do you need a pic? LOL... your seat belt goes back that far? I'm talking about the the underside of the rear panel. The middle would hold the sub, and the right of it would be a square-ish black box.

 

a pic would help.. i thought you were referring to the rear deck.. I assumed your sub is mounted in the middle and to the right of that was the housing of the middle seatbelt.. I removed that when I built a custom box for my subs and ported through the existing opening where my sub used to be.

 

I'm gonna snap a pic later on tonite. It rattles like crazy. If I'm gonna put a 15" IB sub there.. it's gonna be worse (not sure it's a good idea to put a 15" sub in stock location).

 

Or you can do like mine is to use the DAP to seal the edge from rattling when you turn on your bass. Simple fixed. Now I did not have any rattle noise from the black box anymore and no matter how loud the bass is. Good luck.

 

yes...that's what I'm talking about. This is what I did, didn't work though LOL. I'd like to remove it complete to make space for my rear speakers.

its the seatbelt for the backseat. the middle one.......

 

Were you using the dymate stuff damp the rattle? If so, it did not work that's why I used DAP instead. Anyhow, just my 02. Good luck.

 

definitely the seat belt. i've dealt with it for a while but since i am redoing my trunk now i took the belt out

 

seatbelt for the win

 

+1 -- Its definitely the center seatbelt mechanism. I also glued the box into place (and dynomatted the inside of the thing), but that's not what rattles, it's the stuff inside the assembly. I removed (but saved) the whole center seat belt. Never gets used anyway.
