speaker / amp? pop when bass is up

[XcumminsX]

ok whenever i am listening to music with some pretty strong bass i am hearing a popping sound on the right side of my truck. I think it may be the speaker hitting the door or something. Has anyone had this problem i really dont think the speaker is blown because when i listen to metallica for instance with the treble up higher than the bass it is perfect. and when i listen to my really heavy stuff the double bass is insanly good.

Mine does it on the drivers side, there was a post about this a while back and the fix sounded easy. Something about pulling the door panel off and moving the moisture barrier away from the speaker or something along that line. I'm still trying to get a roundtoit (where can I find one of those?)

Sqeaky creaky door panels? Here's the Cure

I've seen some posts of guys complaining their door panels started sqeaking/creaking & making some cheap annoying sounds. Mine started doing this a couple months ago.



Last night I fixed the driver's door and it was quite easy. I removed the door panel and took some pieces of 1/4" wide weatherstripping foam and applied it to places around the perimeter where the panel touches the metal of the door. You could see where it was touching by the dull scratching of the paint. I reinstalled the panel and all is quiet as a mouse! er, mime!



The beautiful solid new-truck "thunk" has been restored and railroad crossings are sqeak-free. Except on the passenger side That fix gets done tomorrow!



For those who've never done it, you remove the door panel by removing 2 large screws (1 near handle & 1 near mirror) and 2 small ones at the bottom. Unscrew the door lock, remove the door handle with 10mm socket, and lift up. Once free unplug window/lock controls.



Have fun!



Vaughn
