I came for the food and stayed for the company! Both speakers sorted, sound deadening done and rear tweeters upgraded. Cheers mate

[@DariusBuildz]

That sound deadening make a huge difference in these doors!

[@brianohara8806]

Just finished this fix with my son. I am NOT mechanically inclined and did it no problem. Music sounds great again. Thank you!!

[@DariusBuildz]

Im glad your son’s sound has been restored!!

[@digitalvizun5678]

Thanks for making this video. My speakers started rattling a few weeks ago…this saved me a lot of money.

[@DariusBuildz]

I’m glad it could help! E6000 glue would be my recommendation although the ca glue and gorilla gel super glue has been holding up fine for me.

[@bustan44]

Great vid dude. Bought my 2015 used and discovered the rattling speakers. I was imagining having to spend hundreds at the dealer for a replacement but I did this fix and just tested them. Cranked up some D'Angelo and by golly they're fixed and sound great. Thanks a ton.

[@DariusBuildz]

I’m glad to see the video still helping people! Enjoy the better sound!

[@AM-cz4fd]

Thanks! Just bought a used Mazda 3 2016 and the speaker just started rattling. Going to do this tomorrow, thank you!

[@DariusBuildz]

Best of luck on the repair. CA glue and super glue works well, but E6000 glue is a little more flexible and may hold longer!

[@andrewbelsen774]

hell yeah im doing this tomorrow, just got a 2014 6i GT and the speaker rattles insane. Thank you for the vid and saving me hundreds of dollars my dude.

[@DariusBuildz]

No problem! It amazing how many people have this issue! It really is a problem

[@andrewbelsen774]

@@DariusBuildz mission complete! i can actually listen to music now! Yeah the more ive looking into it the more I see others with the same issue. Great vid!

[@simonackerman333]

Great video. So far so good, the system sounds great again, all for the price of a bit of glue. Thanks

[@DariusBuildz]

It’s so much better when they are not rattling!

[@kristofferpence]

What’s hilarious to me- I just watched and commented on your mileage update recently. And you said “the speakers will need to be fixed, at some point it will happen”. 5 days later, it happened 😂

[@DariusBuildz]

Dam, 😂. Mazda gave us the budget barrel Bose.

[@kristofferpence]

@@DariusBuildz I’m definitely going to fix it asap, but considering replacing them in the near future. Just not sure what to go with lol. I haven’t been into stereos since I was 18 haha

[@pcurley4]

Nice video!

[@DariusBuildz]

Thank you! Trying to help people save some money!

[@lewisthomas1118]

You are a legend! 🎉❤❤❤❤

[@DariusBuildz]

I try!

[@chriscarpen786]

Solution: Buy some acoustic foam or material that is used fo dampen vibrations and stuff it in the door cup holder. That should alleviate most if not all of the issues with the audio. Visually, not the most appealing but it gets the job done for me at least. I can comfortably turn my bass to 4 and not have much rattles. Try it and let me know what happens

[@DariusBuildz]

Other than the speaker itself rattling, when I tightened the screws that attached the door trim to the doors, the rest of my rattles went away.

[@chriscarpen786]

@@DariusBuildz I did the same thing to my car and the rattles were still there. I also learned that windows rattle too. Rolling the window up and down seems to alleviate that

[@mattysxmusicxfiles9198]

Could you use the CA-EM 2000 Thick Gap Filler in place of the CA-EM02 Thin that you used?

[@DariusBuildz]

I’m thinking so, bc I’ve seen people use silicon and E6000 for the repair as well.

[@michaelv1984]

I’m using rtv silicone. They need to recall this because it’s on every Bose system from s wide range of years. My 2015 mazda 3 has had it for years on the passenger side and it drives me nuts. Even very low volume rattles badly.

[@DariusBuildz]

It would have been nice for a recall. I have fixed about 15 speakers total between 3, 6, and CX5's.

[@chrissymes8092]

Hey with the rattling does the speaker also produce a degraded sound like really muffled? I’m pretty sure that the issue you show here is my problem also but not sure if it is this or the actual cone is damaged. I don’t particularly want to take off the door trim just too have a look (read- too lazy) and it is consistent 36 degrees c (98 degrees f?) here atm so that’s another thing. I know I’ll have to take it off eventually though 😂

[@DariusBuildz]

Mine didn’t really sound muddled more than the apparent “flapping” from part of the surround being loose. But if you turn the bass down, does it sound fine, then as you increased the bass, it sounds more muffled?

[@keithtombs]

Do you actually need this ribbed backing? Looking at mine and it looks like it doesn’t really do much but maybe a bit of resistance on the cone?

[@keithtombs]

Don’t worry… just answered my own question… it keeps the cone and coil lined up… so it really does need to be glued back in place.

[@DariusBuildz]

Ok. I was going to say, yes that is needed. If you were to cut out that the sub would not function.

[@tehxii7706]

Would regular Gorilla glue work with CA glue?

[@DariusBuildz]

The gorilla gel super glue works as I have used that as well for the repair.

[@erinyoung5811]

Socket size for speaker removal?

[@DariusBuildz]

I don’t remember exactly, but it’s probably a 10mm.

[@Imenijebitno108]

Did you break any of the plastic hatches on the door panel?

[@DariusBuildz]

Luckily I did not break any door clips. Some people have reported to have broken almost all of them.

[@Imenijebitno108]

@@DariusBuildz can they be used again if I somehow broke them

[@Imenijebitno108]

@@DariusBuildz Thank you very much, i repaired it. Found rust at the edges, saved 200$.

[@wongdewei9730]

Hi,I wanna ask any super glue work ?

[@DariusBuildz]

I prefer the gel super glue, but E6000 is more flexible is will prob last longer long term.

[@MustPassTruck]

Trying to hear if your speaker rattle is like mine while in my mazda 6 is one of those DUH moments LOL

[@DariusBuildz]

🤣. That made me laugh. Hearing a rattle via a rattling speaker 😭

[@burns985]

Is it better with selicone ?

[@mastacrx]

I did it with flexible silicone based sealant, mind you used screen clamps and lefr it for 24h to dry.

[@burns985]

@@mastacrx yes Sir. Thank you

[@mastacrx]

@@burns985 No problem👍

[@DariusBuildz]

Some people have used silicon with great success. I have also used E6000 glue as well.
