Installed Pioneer Head Unit

Looks and sounds great, but with high volume (over 40 *it maxes at 60*)

All i heard is the bass pumping but its not that nice bassy sound, its like a damn rattle all over and it doesnt sound good (mainly the door panels it goes insane)

If you know what i mean please help, i heard dynomat should help it from friends but i want to know in particular from fellow lancer owners

(by the way i own Alpine Speakers so its not a speaker problem i guess)

i read some others peoples problems with it and its been a while since a new one, anyone fix it? or got to close to it?

I have heard great things about Fat Mat, and heard that compared to Dynamat it is cheap, but not compromising quality. get the trunk and door skins covered, and you should hear the rattle lessen significantly. But if you are running subs, and have the bass gain on the deck all the way up, it could be the culprit. Ran into that problem in my old Colt. Put the bass gain in the deck to -4, and pounded my brain out the front of my head. If you are running bone stock, except the HU, putting too much bass, not shifting the fade to rear slightly, and cranking it, the stocks can't hang on that well, an amp for the stocks helps a bit, but it's best to tune as much as you can, using different genres you listen to to find the happy medium so you don't have to constantly mess with settings and all. But what do I know, I am not the audio god here..... But I can think of some I'd classify that as on here... :LOL:

Turn the eq settings down, loudness off or whatever BS there is for low end. You are listening to a 6.5" midrange and pumping bass through it only means you won't be listening for long. If you want to hear bass get a sub.

Nope, i decided to take out the door panels once again, the problem was the speaker when under bass was pumping so hard it was touching against the door panel, LOL damn @ what alpine speakers can do

Anyway i tackled the situation by cutting out the speaker vent in the door panel and then filed it down till the speaker no longer rubbed against it even at extreme bass, also put cardboard box peices and such behind the speaker so it wouldnt cause door rattling at all

Passenger door panel is complete and there is 0% rattling

Driver side is a bit harder right now its at about 15% rattling at high bass .. so i need to file down and see if can get it low enough

So far its been about 3 hours i been working on it but the bass really improves, love it with no rattling and distortion

You will blow those speakers, they were not designed to travel that far or play frequencies that low.
