BOSE Subwoofer Vibration
fastboydave replied to fastboydave's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
Yes I think that's it's purpose ;) Seriously though. Sounds like either s fitting is loose or the woofer coil is on it's way out because it's been overdriven. Thanks Scouser for those words of wisdom! :-) Have been in contact with Bose actually and they assure me (ofcourse!) that they have not seen any problems with their system such as described. Dont think its the colis as when i hold the box it stops, if it were, wouldnt it continue?? Dont know? As you have suggested (and Bose) it could be surrounding trim (possibly panel underneath?) and at the weekend i will have a good look...... maybe Dynamat time???? -
Hi all. I've had a look through the 996 forum and havent found anything about the problem i am experiencing. I have the BOSE system installed on my 996 TT and the subwoofer 'vibrates' at certain bass frequencies. It appears to be the 'casing', as when i put presure on it (push down) or push a screwdriver between it and the carpet underneath the 'vibration' goes away. I experienced similar on my previous Boxster S with the BOSE optional extra and it did my head in! Has anyone else experienced this? Can anyone recommend anything? At the end of the day, this is supposed to be a decent system and it appears that there is (in my opinion only) a design flaw if it cannot handle the bass it is designed to handle. The bass is set to neutral on the head unit and loudness off, so i am not even 'pushing it'. Any suggestions will be very much appreciated. Thanks, Dave.

I dont know if the headliners are different for the newer models (i suspect not) but have you tried a Porsche dismantler? Is your location in the States? Have a look on www.911pcar.com, they seem to have a comprehensive stock and you may find what your looking for in good condition?

Loren, you are the man! Very much appreciated, nice one!

Did do a search before asking and have done one again in the 'top level'. I dont see any step by step instructions only bits and bobs, some from yourself.

Can anyone help with detailed instructions and/or diagrams of how to remove the headliner?? I have a sunroof if that makes any difference?? The reason for removing it is unwanted 'rattles' when driving over bumps in the road (sunroof plastic rear wind deflector rattling on metal of roof i think) and vibration from Bose speaker on headiner above rear screen. Would assume headlner out is the only option to fix this?? Doing my head in, please help???? :(
