Don't know if this is the right forums, but I was wondering for those of you who have upgraded your front speakers on your evo, have you experienced occasional buzzing at low frequencies in either door or window? If so, what was the source of the buzzing and how did you fix it?

I have CDT Audio CL-61A's in front, CL-6X's in back. These are 6.5" speakers. No sub. I'm also using a JL Audio 300/4 amp.

Thanks!

did you dynamat everything or use some type of sound deadening b4 installing the new speakers? if not then what's buzzing is the door panels/windows (& mirrors) from the new drivers playing louder & possibly at lower frequencies. try some XTC foam around the midbass drivers, that would be cheaper & lighter than Dynamat. go to www.crutchfield.com for those. if that doesn't work, you'll need to use sound dead mat.

 

I swear my cell phone causes some issues when I have the volume real low...when I turn it up to normal volumes, no noticable issues. It's annoying because I turn the stereo down when I get a call..then I get buzzing in the speakers (sometimes.) So when I'm on the cell, I just turn the stereo off now.

 

A while back, I bought some B-Quiet sound dampening material:

I haven't put it on due to the extra weight that it'd add. Do you think I can just put the material around the speaker and that'd be good enough? Don't want to cover the whole door panel...

u can try just covering the area around the speaker hole. that may help. i fabbed baffles for my component midbass drivers (since 6.5's don't exactly fit). don't hear any buzzing (w/the fosgate P3 in the back) but u might be ok. you could take off the door panel & try isolating the rattles. then you can just dampen those areas.
