Daze One Million Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iloveboxcars Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 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.

iloveboxcars Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Maybe adjust some of the settings in the speaker system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.HollaBack Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 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?

Daze One Million Posted March 23, 2004 Author Share Posted March 23, 2004 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daze One Million Posted March 23, 2004 Author Share Posted March 23, 2004 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daze One Million Posted March 23, 2004 Author Share Posted March 23, 2004 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'> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daze One Million Posted March 23, 2004 Author Share Posted March 23, 2004 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
When Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
