Sup guys, i got a pair of 10" subs in my trunk. It pumps alotta bass and its
really loud. Another really loud problem is that the trunk rattles like a beast. Whoever is outside and sees me pass by, they hear alotta bass but also hear the trunk rattling due to the bass. I know there is something i can buy to prevent the rattling, but i dunno exactly what it is. Anyone got a link or description? thanx.

 

This should be in Audio & Security....


DynaMat is good...I've seen lots of people use it to reduce vibration.

 

:werd:

 

do you know any online sources where i can see this product?

 

search dynamat here and you will get lots of info

 

Im getting a rattling sound from my hatch on the outside..when i push on the part where the key hole is, the rattling stops. Anyone have any ideas to fix this?

 

thats normal. I have the same problem and when i push my trunk down it stops rattling. You need to buy some kinda foam thing to prevent it.

 

Pop open your trunk with your subs very loud and you'll see 2 rubber stoppers up where the trunk creases. IF you don't know what I mean, when you take the trunk covering part itself, it's shaped like an L, the rubber stoppers are on the point of the L, the crease, one is on the far left, the other on the far right....Just twist them around and play with them till you have the least rattle possible.

 

Ok I will try the rubber stoppers tommorow, but where would taht foam stuff Flip is talking about go?

 

the rattles you are hearing is caused by one or two of two things. the sheet metal flexing, or two things banging against each other. before you go paying $80 for a dynamat trunk kit, try to isolate the sound. it could be the lic plate hitting the bumper, or something just as simple.

the thin sheet metal on hondas WILL flex and make noise. to prevent this, you have to add weight onto it. that is one thing dynamat or other sound deadeners can do. dynamat is only one brand of sound deadener in a big market. if you do a search in this forum, you will find a whole variety or cheaper and "better" alternatives.

the "foam" stuff is also a form of sound deadener that comes in a can. i believe there are two kinds. one that is similar to spray on cement (not as heavy of course) and another that sprays on, then expands.
