Author Message   ravensjk Posted on Tuesday, March 05, 2002 - 11:23 pm:    Well let me rephrase that, the speakers themselves vibrate just fine, the problem is that the DII rear woofer speakers are causing unwanted vibration in the rear door. I don't play unusually loud music, but anytime I find a song that I really like and I turn it up moderately, there is a loud and distinct buzzing/shaking in the rear door. I opened the door while it was doing this and when I push against the center of the door (up and to the left of the speakers) the vibration goes away and everything sounds great. Anyone else had this issue? Thanks, Jason   Kyle Posted on Tuesday, March 05, 2002 - 11:26 pm:    Its the license plate against the body. Put something between the plate and the truck to dampen it and all will be well again. And,,,,,,,,,,,,,,stop listening to that damn rap music , it will rott your brain!! Kyle   Rob Davison (Pokerob) Posted on Tuesday, March 05, 2002 - 11:34 pm:    i jammed some stuff behind the plate, but it didnt do the trick.. it will always vibrate, i was tempted to put that spray foam in there, maybe someday   Jeff Conrad (Jwconrad) Posted on Wednesday, March 06, 2002 - 03:48 am:    My D1 does the same thing. Stereo install places carry a product called Dynamat that should stop the vibration. Take the rear door panel off and add a few pieces of Dynamat to the sheet metal.   -coop- Posted on Wednesday, March 06, 2002 - 11:13 am:    Yep, they all vibrate when you turn the music up real loud because there is no "insulation" so to speak between the peakers and the door they are in. Try the Dynamat, i haven't but it will probably work. Don't spray foam in there, bad idea.   Anonymous Posted on Wednesday, March 06, 2002 - 02:40 pm:    Try squeezing a squash ball or two between door handle and door trim.   Curtis Posted on Wednesday, March 06, 2002 - 04:01 pm:    I pulled off the rear door trim to raise my wheel carrier a few months ago. When I had it off I just sprayed a bunch of Great Stuff in there. I used the minimum expansion stuff, but max would probably be better. It has worked well an no more vibrations. I did have the license plate issue also so keep an eye on that. Curtis   JCC Posted on Wednesday, March 06, 2002 - 04:06 pm:    I agree with Kyle on the rap music issue! If every one would listen to bluegrass then you wouldnt have a problem with your door rattlin! Justin   Rob Davison (Pokerob) Posted on Wednesday, March 06, 2002 - 05:32 pm:    i got big bass thumpin' with the bluegrass in my truck. it might have something with the 200watt amp i added. rd   JCC Posted on Wednesday, March 06, 2002 - 06:18 pm:    haha....good to have some bluegrass listeners aboard! Theres nothin like being in the woods in a rover with bluegrass thumpin!

Let the assumptions fly... Nothing against rap music, but that was not the source of my problem. Depending on the selection I actually have some classical that will shake the rear door. ;) I checked out the rear door again and it is actually not the license plate; it is somewhere in the middle of the door. I think my best bet is the Dynamat. I think I remember somewhere on DWeb instructions for removing the rear panel; is it as simple as pop off and pop back in again? As for the bluegrass, I am not big fan, but there is some great cajun music I listen to that I bet you bluegrass listeners would love. Jason   gp (Garrett) Posted on Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 08:27 am:    i'm way into christian rock!!! drive around campus for a while and the they just flock to the rover. the only blue grass i really listen to on a regular basis is alison krauss. have listened to a bit of lester flat too, but mostly bastardized songs of his via country musicians. have the O brother where art thow CD.....pretty decent. most of my tunes are along the lines of: steve earle, wilco, son volt, nrbq, southern culture on the skids, pushstars, etc.   Leslie N. Bright (Leslie) Posted on Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 08:54 am:    Garrett, Do you still listen to WMMT? WMMT is a public radio station that ISN'T NPR, out of eastern Kentucky, right on the Virginia line. They broadcast on the internet. In the mornings it's a pretty good mix of variety, then they switch to newer bluegrass or Celtic/Irish stuff (I'm kinda fond of the "Pickin' On" series, where they do covers of GD or the Stones or U2 or Pink Floyd, ala banjo and acoustic guitar), then in the afternoon switch to the ol' traditional bluegrass/gospel (which is a little more than I can take... I suggest listening in the mornings!). Just something different..... -L   Kyle Posted on Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 08:56 am:    Hmmm , a little "Hayseed Dixie" ??? Kyle   Garrett #2 Posted on Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 08:58 am:    I added the Dynamat a few months ago and it worked wonders!! I used to do custom stero installs and I always use dynamat to deaden the unwanted vibrations and road noise..   gp (Garrett) Posted on Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 09:07 am:    oh yeah i still listen to those whacked out 'willies' here and there. for a little humor and good music. a few times i have kept that on for the entire day and it sure can get interesting to say the least!! good stuff.   JCC Posted on Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 09:26 am:    Hayseed Dixie is Great Kyle......Don't know how they cover ACDC in bluegrass style but I like it! Justin   niall forbes (Forbesn) Posted on Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 09:36 am:    ACDC in bluegrass? That sounds cool. For those of you with rattlin' plates, there is actually a LR part for this. It's called a licence plate gasket and is a ~1/8" thick sheet of rubber with the LR logo cut out of it. Of course you don't see that once it's mounted. I've actually got one at home but don't know the part number.

Bright (Leslie) Posted on Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 09:53 am:    Yeah, when I took off the temp-tag to put on my real license tag when I first got the Disco, I was very surprised to see that... http://www.roverconnection.com/Disco%20Acc%20Pix/rclpg.htm -L   Rob Davison (Pokerob) Posted on Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 10:21 am:    NPR.. my favorite show is the "annoying music show minute".. sweet jesus i am in the vast minority but i hate alison krauss' voice.. it's just too high. i need some rasp in there. david grisman anyone? rd   Hank Shank (Disco_Tex) Posted on Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 10:21 am:    If you like bluegrass check out Steve Earles bluegrass cd "The Mountain". Good stuff if you like Steve Earle it will suprise you. He recored this CD with the Del McCoury Band a couple of years ago...   gp (Garrett) Posted on Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 10:29 am:    got that one Hank. they were just playing him on the station leslie has a link to. transendental blues is a damn fine CD as well. he plays at the pittsburgh blues fest at the IC Light Amp. usually every year. have seen him about 5 times. the best in my opinion. just don't piss the dude off. rob. how dare you say that about my beloved alison!!! but true......too much of her can remind you of 'skining the cat'!!   Lawrence Tilly (L_Tilly) Posted on Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 10:53 am:    Niall, Tragiclly Hip are not a group I see many other people mention very often. Glad to see some others w/ a broad scope of taste.

Copperhead Road myself. You guys ever listen to Adrian Legg?   gp (Garrett) Posted on Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 11:09 am:    nope. how about Billy Bragg/Wilco CD?? very good. or.....robert earl keen, blue rodeo, golden smog, whiskey town, ryan adams, pete yorn, old 97's, backsliders, jayhawks, uncle tupelo and i could go on. carry about 150 CD's in my truck at all times!!   niall forbes (Forbesn) Posted on Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 11:14 am:    Well, being Canadian, I guess they get a bit more exposure up here.

Scared and Nautical Disaster are probably my two faves. How about some old school Canadian rock... Kim Mitchel, Gamma, Prism, April Wine, Doucette, Red Rider and of course Rush.   Lawrence Tilly (L_Tilly) Posted on Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 12:16 pm:    Rush...Absolutely. I'm almost guaranteed to have at least one (or three or five) of their albums in my travel case at any time. Old or new...fantastic group.

"more weather now from kermit the weather hermit.....ribit". that's suppose to be funny 10 times a day. ugh. i am sure you have seen bumper stickers down there in the 'burgh.   Leslie N. Bright (Leslie) Posted on Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 12:45 pm:    Mackeel... from Nova Scotia... they're gone, now. Kilt... from Cape Breton, they're gone too. Seven Nations... its members are from all over the US and Canada... Enter the Haggis... another Cape Breton group. Slainte Math... another Cape Breton group... (see a trend here??) Clandestine... from Houston (okay, that one doesn't fit the location, but it does the genre). Bad Haggis... from Los Angeles (yes, that's right!) Deep Blue Sea... I think they're from Nova Scotia. Celtic Soul... from Florida (Jacksonville, I think). Hmmmmm.... I'm sure I've left some out.... -L   WHoDatMatt Posted on Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 12:47 pm:    You bunch of fuckin yankees. Carpetbagging mutherhumpers.   Leslie N. Bright (Leslie) Posted on Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 12:52 pm:    LOL..... ask Garrett where I'm from.... It's just my musical tastes are in my roots... Cape Breton/Nova Scotia kept a lot of Celtic music alive, whereas in the southern/central Appalachians (i.e., MY home) the music evolved into bluegrass. But, Skynyrd ain't ever turned off.... "Freebird!!" Led Zep, Pink Floyd, Clapton, those are my mainstays.... -L PS: and, from out of left field, Tori Amos, Jewel, and Shakira....   gp (Garrett) Posted on Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 12:53 pm:    damn leslie. you from Nova Scotia (new scotland) or something? as i type this i am doing plans for my brothers summer house in kingsburg, NS.   Leslie N. Bright (Leslie) Posted on Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 12:58 pm:    No. Born and raised in upper East Tennessee. Family's roots are mostly English and Scots-Irish. Several years ago, the wife and I started going to Scottish Highland Games, and ended up developing a thing for "celtic rock", which, it seems, is mostly from maritime Canada. We catch any of the festivals w/in driving distance when we can, mostly just for hearing the bands.... -L   gp (Garrett) Posted on Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 01:04 pm:    yeah i was pretty sure you were from 'down there'. my brother use to cruise down to the bluegrass festival in arkansas every year. then he had 3 kids and that stopped. i try and get to what i can within reason. actually my ex-girlfriends uncle was buckwheat zydeco. she was italian actually......long story. not sure why i just mentioned that. oh.....because he plays at the bluegrass fest in pittsburgh. met him last year. he sweats alot.   Leslie N. Bright (Leslie) Posted on Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 01:06 pm:    LOL.... Ever been to the fiddlers' convention in Galax, VA? I've not been yet, but it's on the need-to-do list.... -L   gp (Garrett) Posted on Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 01:13 pm:    nope. i don't make it below the mason-dixon line very often. use to make it to a bluegrass up in VT once in a while too. i wonder if the wolftrap theatre in DC has any good stuff like that. they have some good music there in the summer. would love to open a place like that around here. we need a GOOD outdoor ampatheatre. we have a small one at the little local ski area. and a huge indoor venue that seats about 14K and then a small bar/club (crowbar) that holds about 300, but nothing good in town in between those sizes. usually head to philly for the good music......theatre of living arts, trocadero, tin angle, etc. hey rob......is Pegasus still in the 'burgh?? went there by accident once during a hockey tournament. "hey boys"   Andrew Maier (White96disco) Posted on Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 01:40 pm:    Leslie: Seven Nations? That's a GREAT group -- I've seen them twice here in Milwaukee, once at Irish Fest and another time at a small venue here... Andy   Paul T. Schram (Paulschram) Posted on Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 02:09 pm:    Silly deadheads! Old and in the way-yeah! Y'all into Bluegrass, try out Leftover Salmon. Bunch of good guys who swing a mean mando, banjo, geetar. Love that Pasta on The Mountain. Time to rise up... speaking of festivals, check out www.grassrootsfestival.com. Ten points to those who can find my picture! Peace, Paul   gp (Garrett) Posted on Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 02:20 pm:    that's one trippy site man. must have been you in the pic at the bottom of the page. saw leftover in burlington, vt once. that town just overflows with those crazies almost as much as when the samples show up.   Paul T. Schram (Paulschram) Posted on Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 02:52 pm:    Thanx Garrett. One of my partners does the site. We have a really good time with the festivals. I mortgaged my house to pay for Salmon to play the fest and needless to say, I don't have to buy tix to their shows any more!   Leslie N. Bright (Leslie) Posted on Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 03:03 pm:    LOL.... I had a Grateful Dead shirt on under my suit when I got married..... -L   Rob Davison (Pokerob) Posted on Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 03:29 pm:    Garreett.. i dont know that place. i dont hang out down town to much, if you know what i mean. rd   gp (Garrett) Posted on Thursday, March 07, 2002 - 03:32 pm:    it was pretty funny. we were playing at the Civic Area and after our game we were looking for a place to chill. this place looked happening and i get down there and 'check' my coat and next thing i know my pals are no where to be seen. gone. so i look around and people are dancing and having a good time.......buuuuuuut no ladies. i was outta there in no time. the bouncer at the top of the stairs had a good laugh. i didn't.
