Mirror shacking

obviously my rear view mirror shackes like crazy when my bass is up. i was just wondering is there a way to stop that from happening, like fatmat the mirror or something, and if so, where would i put the fatmat?

tnot much you can do to stabilize a shaking rearview.. short of building some sort of support structure for it. But that would just look dumb.

Pretty much if you have a sub that will hit hard, you'll have your rear view mirror shacking like crazy. My 12" JL 12w3v2 does that to mine, and not my drivers side mirror is shacking. I guess it is expected if you listen to loud bass all the time.

this sounds dumb but u could put it where u need it and super glue it there and let it harden and glue it again and then try that and if that dosent work then take it off.

Actually our mirrors can be taken off. The plastic trim piece pops off and theres 4 screws bolting it in. You don't legally have to have a rear view mirror as long as you have a mirror on either side of the car.

Shaq attack is back? Actually my rearview was starting to rattle and make noise when some songs hit low, it was funny but then my subs got stolen and I wasn't laughing.
