too much bass

haha k heres the deal. when i turn the bass up in the car my mirror shakes so much that it turns it down to the floor. it is annoying to have to adjust it every second. what can i do? get a new mirror or what?
thanks

Never enough bass... That pretty much happens to everycar bro.. You can try to tighten the mirror... If you never want it to move again, you can loosend the mount and either CA or Silicone the Ball and cup so that it wont move on you again... BUT if you do that you will not beable to move the mirror again so becareful. Cars wernt made for aftermarket sound/amplification

pay a midget to hold the mirror, rubber band it / tie it up ... hook it around the mirror and tie it back to where it hookd to the window, turn the bass down, take it off, ( last resourt) Superglue it so it dont move at all ( last resourt) or do like everyone elce and keep adjusting it.

this would help the trunk rattle, but unless you wrap the mirror in it, it's still gonna tip down cause dynomat doesn't lock all the sound waves/vibrations in the trunk

There should be a screw that you can tighten it down with (I think its an allen key).

Yeah there's a screw at the bottom of the mirror. I had the same problem, it was pretty loose. It's all better now that I tightened it

If you install even more subs facing the opposite direction the sound waves that produce will cancel out the current subs...thus not shaking your mirror..MOAR SUBS!

x2
I've got alittle piece of hush mat between the mirror and the window and that screw is as tight as can be but still I end up looking into my back seats every time I look into the mirror.
You just get used to not using it as much, besides even if I fix the position on it even with the stereo at low volumes it shakes so bad I can't make anything out in the mirror anyway, same with the side ones

Yeah I did the doors, but only the outer part of the door not the inner part.
I have a box of hush mat sitting here with plans to do alot more but I haven't been able to find the time plus I just bought a house with a 2 car garage so I'm kinda waiting till next month when I take possesion to finish everything off.

I did have a hell off a time getting around the damn side impact beams though, saftey smaftey, just making my life a bit harder
