Saw a post on fixing the annoying interior rattle by shoving a sponge above the interior light.
Clearly this rattle doesn't restrict itself to Astra's as it was quite present for me as well. The height between the roof and the light assembly was quite substatial, significantly more than a single sponge. So I folded up some thick noise absorbtion foam and stuck it in there.
Works very well, thus far.
Had some time tonight to start on the speakers upgrade. Got the rears done and one of the fronts. Applied bitumen mats for damping effect on the inner part of the door. If the door cards themselves still resonate I might add some Focal BAM to them, as they gave good results in my previous build.
Careful measuring revealed the crossovers would just fit when mounting next to the speaker, so that was easy.
One more door left for tomorrow
