mad rattling

help guys ever since i got my system the rattling has been insane...not just my mirrors but it seems like the whole damn trunk is rattling..i took off the third brake light by the window..and it still rattles. also i put a cotton towel underneath the rear deck. so im just looking for cheap alternatives to stop the rattling and maybe some main points of the trunk i should look for that shake

It will help but not solve it. I did 192 sq ft in an 01 and theres still rattle...but thats with 2 TDX 12s. For interior rattle the rear deck and trunk torsion bars are bad. Exterior...everywhere.

Yeah, Dynamat will, but there are much more cost effective and efficent companies to go with. My recommedation is Damplifier from Second Skin Audio. Other people have taken a liking to eDead V1.0. OR...you could go the liquid route, and use either Spectrum or eDead V3.0.

The CHEAPEST route would be to use Peel 'n Seal from HD, but the stuff reeks and is not as easy to work with, nor as effective.

You're going to start blowing panels apart with the XXK.

Peel 'n seal doesn't have any smell at all, but edead v1 smells horrible for the first couple of weeks. Whenever it gets hot you can smell it.

it's not a bad product, it's just more pricey when compared to other alternatives in the market.

But thanks for bringing that point up, I never considere that before, good thing you told me this, I only have around 400 sqft of deadening, it would look really ugly.

No, I completley agree. But for the sam price of Dynacrap you can get TWICE the mat at a higher thickness. People just immediatley slam the words DYNAMAT down anytime deadening is mentioned as if it were the greatest thing since sliced bread.

...and how much do you wanna bet that 90% of people whom reccomend dynamat don't have ANY deadening in their car at all?

anyone got any pics of how to put the deadening on the trunk lid and rear deck?.. will just sticking it under the trunk lid stop the torsion bars from moving or do i have to stick the stuff in? or just on top

I wish I had my computer back up and running so I can post some pics. My new HD won't be here till next weekend. Sorry.
