Posted March 23, 200421 yr maybe one of you guys can help me, i got 2 12's powered by a rockford 900watt amp in my trunk, my trunk rattles so god damn much its not funny, standing outside the car all you hear is the trunk rattling rather than the base its self, what is the best way to deaden this shit, expanding foam, dynamat, foam strips??? any suggestions would be great, when you gotta know something :cool:
March 23, 200421 yr Tighten screws and bolts. Maybe replace the latch that holds your trunk down. What kind of car is it? I'm planning on installing a dash dvd player with a screen and two screens in the seats for the back to watch. That's going to be quite the hole in the pocket.. but I think it's worth it.
March 23, 200421 yr what exactly is rattling? the tail gate of your truck? licence plate? the whole body? what kind of box do you have your 12's in? you can stop the rattling of your licence plate by putting duck tape or whatever that powerful tape is behind it so ive heard... maybe you could switch up the box you have your speakers in? or try stuffing them with poly fill perhaps?
March 23, 200421 yr Author its a bandpass box, and its just the trunk lid its self that rattles, no bumper no license plate, its a 99' neon, if i put pressure on the top, like sit on it, the rattling stops

March 23, 200421 yr Author boxcars, i think you should go with an indash dvd/cd player, it would be much easier....also they have head rests that you can buy with the lcd allready mounted inside....incase you didnt know that allready

March 23, 200421 yr Author my shit def bangs, bandpass are the enclosed speakers with the air holes...loudest of all the boxes :) but i think ima try fuckin with the trunk balancer things see if maybe i can make the bigger than they should be putting pressure on the trunk thus disabaling the rattle http://www.4autovations.com/images/cars/neon/randyneon044.jpg'>
March 23, 200421 yr Originally posted by Daze One Million ^not my car, but i bet some of you were like "oh my god hell no" hahaha yes, i was one of those people. dont get one of those "fin" thingies, or whatever the hip term to call them is. that stuff looks wack. pay a fat chick to sit on th trunk while you drive before buying one of those god awful things.
March 23, 200421 yr Author haha the hip term, but nah i think fins/wings/spoilers look good if done tastefully, like a nice low wing with the 3rd break light, but um yea....anyway
March 23, 200421 yr Author not when your a manly man but nah, i got it for 1600 bucks....i needed a car for school and work and 1600 for a 99 aint bad so i took the deal, trust me i dont want this car....but in all due time i will have me my 99 eclipse gst......oh yea

March 23, 200421 yr Author my boy had an older 626, he got rear ended and now i call it his 313 but yea i hope to have my *real* car by the summer if im lucky, otherwise no later than next year...i gotta get some damn credit first...no credit is worse than bad credit i sweart to god

March 23, 200421 yr Originally posted by Daze One Million my boy had an older 626, he got rear ended and now i call it his 313 i owned a 88' 626 a while back it was a fuckin great car 4cyl 5 speed, great on gas and decent pickup my friends dubbed it the 666 because it would never die
March 23, 200421 yr Author thanks when, ima have to try that, your talking about just the part that goes around the edge of the trunk right....just get a thicker seal? and iquit, that does suck...a lot a lot a lot, id hate to have to be payin for a car i dont drive

March 23, 200421 yr Originally posted by Daze One Million your talking about just the part that goes around the edge of the trunk right....just get a thicker seal? yea the rubber deal that keeps water from leaking into your trunk take that off and go to a car upholstery shop tell them you want something thicker then put the new thicker seal in thus putting pressure on the trunk lid no more rattle
March 23, 200421 yr Author i dont know much about seals and stuff...do i need some type of glue, or just pops on like around the doors and stuff
March 23, 200421 yr im not sure about the 99' but my friends girl didnt have a glue in seal and even if yours does i dont think its really necessary to put a glue in seal back in basically the new seal you get will just push onto the pinch molding under your old seal and if you cant push it on by hand you can tap it on with a hammer
March 23, 200421 yr Originally posted by When you douche. stop rambling useless dribble hush jesse james wanna be. ;)
March 23, 200421 yr Originally posted by iquit how many, "look how bling i am!" points do you recieve for that. i'd say 5 at least. It isn't for show, I'm going to make sure there is a way to cover up the screens and the dvd player so that you can't tell from the outside. Plus you wouldn't expect this in the car I have.
March 23, 200421 yr Originally posted by iloveboxcars It isn't for show, I'm going to make sure there is a way to cover up the screens and the dvd player so that you can't tell from the outside. doing your own installation?
