ok i went to best buy a few days ago to check on dynomat to get rid of the mad rattle i got in my trunk and that shit is very expensive. and i got a big car so he said itd need like 3 to 4 packs at 33$ a pop. anyone know any other ways to get rid of the rattle besides dynomat? thanks.

Try www.B-Quiet.com.

But honestly, I've been in your same shoes and must say, if you have a considerable amount of bass...it's near impossible to completley get rid of rattle.

yeh its amazingly alot of bass, ive gotten a few people tell me at school when their behind me it sounds really awful with that much of a rattle. so im trying to think of other alternatives besides dynomat. i was hoping someone had some home suppliest i could use around the house, like vent installion and shit. something soft i guess. thanks guys

I don't know what parts you're trying to dampen, but some foam might help. Try a can of "Great Stuff" at Home Depot..it's like $5..it expands and becomes extremely dense/solid. You could also try aiming your subs in differnent directions....this made a huge difference with my car.

i only want to do my trunk. to keep it from rattling so much. the rest of the car is fine.

If it's the trunk lid itself rattling...I doubt anykind of dampening material is going to make a difference. You could always bolt your trunk shut though....;)

it only deadens the sounds it does not elimanate all rattaling i used to work at bestbuy and did it all plus did my crx it will make the inside of your car sound alot better and tighter bass but will not help things like the gas tank/licensePlate,rear lights trunks locks it will cost alot to make it rattler free and take welding

well if you get a mat type material it should add weitht to the panel and reduce rattling. A common problem is your license plate which is a fairly easy fix, just got some sort of absorbant material(like a 1/4" thick foam or neoprene material) and put it between your license plate and the metal behind the plate.

yeh i alreay did the license type with a sticky material. it no longer rattles, just the whole back trunk does. i may save up to get some dynomat. i dunno or just let it rattle doesnt effect me at least

my old car had a solobaric 15 and a rockford 600w(i think) amp...and the trunk rattled TERRIBLY...so i opened the trunk and put another layer of weather stripping over the exsisting one...it took some force to get the trunk to shut...but no rattle when it was done.
