Hatch Handle Vibrates Loudly When Subwoofer Hits
Hi guys, this is a problem I've had that has bothered me so much and wondering if anybody knows a fix!
Whenever my subwoofer hits a bass note, it sounds great but from the outside, it just sounds like terrible **** because of a terribly loud vibrating coming from the handle. The weird thing is, if I lift the handle up a bit (not enough to open it, but very close to clicking to open) it stops! I'm wondering how to fix it, I've tried jamming cloth, duct tape, and even carpet in between the handle and where it sits with no luck. Any ideas? When I hold the handle, and the vibrating stops, the music sounds great!
Here is a video to kind of show what I mean... sorry about quality.

I don't know, Mine has a button. But I did see only a 40 minute wait, between your posts. A bit impatient aren't you, considering it's 3:00 in the morning. Try putting some sound damping material on the inside off the hatch.
