Figured out the source of an annoying rattle, that sounded almost identical to a blown rear shock, just more rattely than clunky...

The "cargo tray" area in the coupe, where the 3rd brake light lives. Jammed some tool drawer liner between it and the window. I could've sworn there was a tsb for this issue, but a quick search revealed nothing. If there was I'm sure they just used some adhesive backed foam of some sort. Off to search some more.

^ before ya send the new amp in for repair check your subwoofers ohm load at the amplifier! if the ohm load is to low for the amplifier it can easily start popping fuses on the amplifier!

I hate clips/fasteners, etc... it's like the engineer took a day off and made the intern come up with the designs.

Mine looked good from a quick glance, at least the part coming through the sheet metal. Couldn't tell what was going on where they attach to the trim.

Installed foam baffles behind the door speakers, no more rattling! & hopefully no more wet speakers...

I read some complaints about sound quality diminishing with baffles, I personally didn't notice any.
