lately ive been getting a lot of anoying rattles in my car. especially after i put it on 17" rims (not dropped). i got a quote from a stereo shop for $900 to dynamat my whole entire car...stripping everything , absolutely everything down and putting 2-3 layers of dynamat and open cell foam all around. That quote was just labor only, they said it would take them about 2 days to do it all. roof, trunk, floor, doors all 3 skins in the door, pillars, rear deck, hood. etc. I will buy all the materials myself. i was just wondering is it well worth it? the noise level will decrease significantly and rattles will probably be a thing of the past. or should i take a week off and try to rip my max apart myself and try to do it all? has anybody done anything similar to their car and can tell me the results afterwards. Also, this will add about 150-200 pounds weight to my car, how much slower noticeably will it be? Thanks

 

Waaaaaaaay too much hehe. You shouldn't need more than 30lbs of the stuff. I'm running 1000w and two SPL woofers and the rattle isn't too hard to fix. The trunk, and the rear deck are the main rattle areas. Doing everything else is a waste unless you're running 10"s in your doors or something wacky like that.

Is it well worth it? Well I only found the need to do my trunk & rear deck and after a few months your just like "nyeah that was a lot of work for a little rattle killing". The rattle difference on the inside of the car isn't that phenominal. However on the outside, it's a *world* of difference. No more people pointing and laughing cause your rattle is as loud as your system =)
