Causing the rattle sound

x2 on finding out what exactly is making the noise.

if you press against the door panel from the inside, does it still rattle? i found mine rattled along the top of the door panel. the metal piece that extends along the top of the interior door panel that hooks onto the metal door frame, well that so-called hook piece widens over time as you close the door shut. it just needed to be bent back tighter to secure the panel on the door frame. otherwise, other common sources for vibration on the door is the door handle (just bend the bracket that secures the 10mm bolt further inwards) and the plastic pivot on the metal door panel that connects the mechanical rods for the latch and manual door lock (a thick piece of foam padding kept it pressed between the door panel and metal door frame). my doors didn't rattle after that even on the highest volume.

Ok so going through an making sure everything is good an tight should help

an if i push on the door skin it stops so I'm guessing that's door handle then

Go to a car audio place and buy some dynamat, i'm not sure what it's called in the states but its a sound deadoning matt, its a thick heavy matt, sicky on one side and thin alloy sheet on the other. Put a large section directly behind the woofer (on the INSIDE of the OUTER door skin) and on the INSIDE of the INNER door skin.

OK
I'll try to pick some up soon
I didn't think with a 300 Watt sub is would be as bad as it is

My doors have rattles just from my exhaust. I just hit the door and it goes away most of the time haha

Both my cellies had rattles on the doors. I planned on finding each one, and addressing it, but usally I just turned the bass up enough I couldn't hear it =P
