Rattling

I get a rattling noise from my passenger side door with the music up. Is this normal? And could it be fixed by the dealership under "warranty"?

I personally wouldn't bother bringing it to the dealership. You should try to locate the source and fix it yourself. It's better than letting some stranger disassemble your interior and they might even go for a joy ride as part of the "diagnosis" and "test drive" afterwards

With the music up? It's probably crappy stock speakers not handling bass levels.

I got the loaded Ralliart, so I have the Fosgate speakers and they are pretty good. It's definately a rattle.

They damn well better warranty it, I'm nearing my 3rd month of ownership. But the speakers are all good

Could still be rattling. Just cause they're "Fosgate" doesn't mean they won't rattle under heavy bass or what not.

From my experience, a lot of the time rattles have been caused by the door lock and release handle cables. A good solution it to apply dynamat over the entire door and even behind the speaker. Improve sound also.

I too am getting a Rattle when playing music at 27 Vol and +3 bass, found out that it was just the inner door handle, got some 3M felt pad cut it down and stuck it behind the handle, no more rattle.
