rattling noise when turning up bass
Ok, I had this problem on my ex-car, a 95 Altima GXE, and now on my current car a 97 GXE Maxima. When I turn the bass up all the way or even just a bit, and like a rap song comes on, I hear like a metal rattling...its really annoying and means I pretty much have to listen to **** and keep the bass off unless I want to hear that annoying metal rattling sound. Anyone else experience this? Any solutions?

im almost certain based on your symptoms that you have a loose piece of metal somewhere that needs to be tightened.
or maybe you got some loose change in your armrest.
...seriously, it could be anything

agreed, could be a lot of different things. I have the same model and the bass on the stock system speakers on yours would have almost certainly blown out by now (I replaced mine 2 years ago from a 98 gxe and the bass on those it terrible now too). If you want take off your front door panels and the things that hold the back speakers in and make sure they are bolted on tight, besides that just invest in a new set of speakers if it really bothers you that much

try pulling/pushing on the built in handle of the passenger side door panel. i had a vibration noise (could sound like a rattle i guess) coming from the passenger door panel shaking when the bass hit.

do you have a round about idea where it is coming from? trunk, ds door. ps door etc? if its the trunk i would check the power antena brackets and also your spare tire cover i took the cover out and replaced it with a 1/2 peice of wood cut to the form of the trunk carpet

Put in sound deadening, its relatively cheap if you buy it direct from the source. My stock system did that and so did the new head unit. Now i have some SD in the doors and im putting more in the trunk this week and its noticeably better. Go to the audio forum and theres a sticky called the definative sound deadening thread. Should answer all your questions.

in the trunk there are tin metal bars that hold the trunk open. Mine were a lil too close and cause of the bass from my sub, they were hitting each other and rattling, so i duct taped them. lol
Ceck it, they run under the back speakers i think.

haha
it could be one of your emergency roadside tools in the trunk. check if they are loose or not.

Granted I have a system, but when the bass hits in my car the rear seat belt buckles with rattle against the plastic piece at the bottom of the belt. I have to make sure that I push the buckles all the way up before I start driving so that it doesn't get on my nerves. Other than that, just check to make sure there are no tears on the speaker cones, and try to find the direction the noise originates from so that you can isolate your problem.
