How To Fix Subwoofer Bass Rattle - Honda Accord

I got tired of the rear deck lid rattling every time I was jamming out to a song with decent bass, so I took some foam, cut it out and put it under the rear deck lid and voila it worked! No more rattle and I can turn my volume to max and it sounds amazing. I finally get to enjoy the premium audio I paid for. No but seriously, this really did work and I’m thoroughly impressed with the results. All you need is some foam, something to cut the foam with, and a little bit of time.

[@bruhleaning9056]

a before and after clip would've been nice

[@florida995]

To fix mine I just opened the trunk and shoved socks under the rear deck from behind. Works well.

[@Yurboiisilly2]

The rattle is driving me nuts. Do you mind giving more details or posting a short video on how you got it done?

[@xDerrickOx]

Bro you are GOATED for this. Been dealing with rattling speakers for a year, just stuffed two socks up there and it’s sounding great now

[@andyhernandez6349]

Thanks! Saved the whole process with the clips

[@BrittanyNicolex710]

Yeah I’m not going to do all that just to stick foam in there. I’ll shove some panties and socks and call it a day

[@BrittanyNicolex710]

I love your sock idea lol

[@LeoSpaceman2012]

Cut a small spacer out of wood or plastic that is slightly bigger than the gap between your rear deck brake light and the rear window. Paint it or wrap it in a tape that is the same color as the rear deck. Put it in the gap so that it creates a downward pressure in the deck. It will stop most or all of the rattle. If you do it well, the spacer won't be noticable from the outside unless you are looking for it.

guys its the thin metal rods that lift the trunk , stuff sum in between them

[@MickeyMea]

Gon try this

[@-Mari.0-]

Where did you buy your foam

[@garysmith1090]

I own a gen 8 Honda Accord Executive 2.4 with a 10 speaker system (woofer front and back factory installed). Looking for installation manual and will appreciate any assistance

[@92egarza]

Just accomplished this today on my 2013 Honda Accord Sport Coupe. It works!! 🫠😁 Had trouble trying to fit the trim in the corners. Other than that everything was a breeze.

[@Krikswagg]

I have the same issue with a 2021 Insight touring :(

[@elcemuziq8514]

It’s easier to just push some foam down there between the window and base.. you can’t see it and it takes 2 min..

[@Hst10245]

It barely works

[@hgfdksk17]

Link for the foam?

[@frostybrew13]

Did you use any sort of adhesive at all or just the gravity from the clips?

[@markymark2820]

If you use thick enough foam like he does in the video you won't need any adhesive bc it will fit snug in between the metal and the plastic. Basically there is nowhere for it to go

[@gabeglizzy4409]

Quick question bro, how many inches are your subwoofers (the 3)? I got a accord and I’m not sure what size I need for the subwoofers. Good vid tho !

[@levihander4105]

Might be really old, but I believe the two on the sides are 6.5” and the middle is 8”

[@soulerflare7]

The biggest problem with Honda is automatic noise cancelation. Look up how to disconnect anc on 2013 - 2017 honda accords.

[@guesswhat9359]

if you install subs they take out a peice that deletes it!

[@haloaka123]

@@guesswhat9359 depending on where you got it installed, they either just disconnect it or remove the whole thing which messes up your bluetooth

[@BrapzDollz]

Bet that 1 clip caused the whole problem 😂

[@alexiasmith6447]

Do you know if this works for a 2022 accord SE

[@battlescargarage8851]

It might since the root cause of the issue is common amongst a variety of makes/models. The deck lid is vibrating. Stop it by using the same concept.

[@napoleonmendoza8957]

So what I did to get rid of the rattle is way easier I cut some peaces of some old gloves I rolled them up I stuck my upper body in the truck put those rolled up peaces of gloves in the holes that are next to the speakers and BOOM rattle was gone in just 5 minutes

[@inoskex7725]

I have a 09 civic and the same happens to me. But I feel like it’s the break light making the noise. Any way of fixing it?

[@battlescargarage8851]

See what the break light is rattling against and put some sort of cushion in between the two

[@rosegold-beats]

Tighten the rear light with rubber washers

Where can you buy the foam

[@Yogachara]

Amazon. Search "acoustic foam panels"

[@tsaini6369]

African tire

[@NobodyLikesyou.]

Putting the clips in the hole is a pain in the ass

[@tsaini6369]

Yes

[@Xrayontheside]

Did it work?

[@battlescargarage8851]

Still working perfectly to this day. Night and day difference.

[@daizohnseuserbass695]

Any issues fitting it back down with the foam being too thick?

[@tsaini6369]

Yes all ur clips are going to break and your going to spend 9 hours in a garage going insane.

[@92egarza]

I used a 1 inch thick foam and it worked perfectly

[@sonderevokingbuns]

@@tsaini6369 you can clearly see the clips are protruding further than the foam. obviously no interference
