As promised...here are the pics of my trunk with B-Quiet 
Sorry guys, but I didn't feel like taking the entire trunk apart to show you everything I did. 
Just imagine that the two strut towers are completely covered. I also removed the washer fluid bottle and got my hands back there and put some on the outer sheet metal as well. Same goes for the opposite side of the trunk. I pretty much covered anything that was metal
Keep in mind that this won't make a GIGANTIC difference in noise. My exhaust is quieter and road noise is quieter...but I can still hear both. Especially the road noise...but that's primarily from the front tires (still have stock Advans on and those mothers are noisy). Overall, my car is quieter and the trunk will not vibrate on bit once I get my JL Audio 12W6 installed
Trunk lid
Driver's side
Behind rear seat
Spare tire well
Passenger side (w/SSL subwoofer)

Yeah, to those wanting to quiet the car, you would want to dynamat the doors. If you only dynamat the trunk, you probably won't notice a difference in road noise, at least not enough to compensate for the cost or additional weight. IMO the only reason to dynamat a trunk would be to reduce the rattle of subwoofers!

If I wasn't putting a nice system in my car I wouldn't have done any sound deadening. But, since I'm spending the money on a system I want it to sound good and Dynamat (or equivalent) is one of the best things you can do to have a great sounding system
for my system I did the trunk lid (this was the biggest area of rattle. and a little no the floor. I also did both front doors pretty well.
Since I track my car I wanted as little as needed so I slowly added until on rattles.

^ that looks like a nice setup. what do you have in there? 12W7? what amp(s)? what's up front? more details please!
Do you take that box out when you autoX? If so, how the heck do you get it out?

i have a 15 dual coil sub still brand new in the box havent bought the amp for it yet, dont know if I should sell it and get a 12. A 15 with no dynamat will ratle to much right?

has anyone ever done their floors to get rid of road noise? im not thinking of doing this i just think if that was your goal then the floor would help a lot.
im getting a 10w3 but i might end up waiting and going for a 10w7
then ill really hace to worry about rattles.
