i just installed a system in my 8 and my trunk rattles quite a bit when i turn it up. whats some ways i can fix that. thanks in advance

 

TAKE IT OUT..HAHA...

Dynomat makes some good stuff pretty heavy though but i guess that doesnt matter in this situation.

I just have some general advice...

It really helps to pinpoint the rattles if you just turn off your vocals on the stereo... Sooo much easier to track them down this way.

Also, check your license plate- thats a real common culprit !!

 

pick up a roll of dynamat from any audio store (even best buy) and cover whatevers rattling, it works very well. good luck

 

Bah...

If you are gonna pay for dynamat, just remove half the money from your wallet & kick yourself in the *****.. Its the same thing..

Check out http://www.b-quiet.com/

They sell this stuff called "brown bread". Its VERY VERY cheap compared to dynamat & it supposedly works better.. They have an article on the site from a 3rd party comparing the 2, and they picked the brownbread.

My friend installed this throughout his ENTIRE car, it worked really well...

 

thanks for the reply guys! ill check out that site

 

check out fatmat, that's what I used.

 

I have dynomat and its worth it. No rattle and the music sounds way better

 

The benefit of Dynamat is peel and stick easy as pie. No heating, no goop, yes it's name brand and it costs more but it still works darn well.

 

The man himself , take it from Jasil he did a good job on my Evo

 

WOOT fatmat all the way!!! i layered my whole back half with it (yea i got carried away) but its affordable and everything in my car is hella quiet.

 

i got 2 12" subs in my trunk...nothing rattles...lol...no dynamat or anything.....is ur carpet still in there?....oh i forgot...i fixed one rattle long before i got subs...the cross bars inside the trunk ...i think the have something to do with the trunk opening and closing...they tend to rattle against each other sometimes....u can tape them together or something....i used two paintline clips...clips that hold plastic paint gun lines together....hard to explain....they fit perfectly over the bars....also put something under the license plate...i had already done that too when i first got my car to keep the license plate from scratching the paint off my bumper...i used those fuzzy things u put on the bottom of furniture to protect wooden floors.....lol....they work great

 

I second finding the rattle first. I have found the license plate to be the culprit many times though.

 

thanks for all the responses, but i just took the system out and i'm probably going to put just a 10 in there. i just need a little thump
