I just recently got 2 12'inch subs in my trunk installed. At first it sounded nice now my trunk rattles when i have my bass on. Is there something i can buy and put in my trunk to stop the rattling.
dynamat the trunk lid <br>
Dynamat!...I have my whole trunk, trunk lid, doors, and everything dynanatter and nothing rattles. Make sure you want it on though it's a real pain in the @!#$ to get off!
i personally like the rattle, especially when my rear view mirror vibrates like crazy~.until it falls off when im driving, that sucks. i heard expanding foam works real good, but i havent tried anything on my car
no expanda foam, it wil expand then flex the paint.
Dynamat or a product like it will solve your problem, if you need more search threw the audio forum there is tons of info there.

it might be the vent on the right side of the trunk. that was the issue for me at one point. pull back the carpeting on the right side of the trunk and you will see a black vent. pull it out and you can cover it with Dynamat.

Peace Out!!!
this is better cheaper and easier to apply

Is Dynamat easy to install or should i get someone to put it on??? GoHo Audio??etc
Thanx you all for the help
i am really pissed off about that rattle noise. This is a great site...
i went to ebay and got fatmat for 130.00 for 100sq ft. works great! and it is very easy to install. i have had dynamat and this stuff is just as good IMO.
<br>
mine does it off and on.. i dont get why somtimes it will sometimes it wont... but the rearview mirror falling off is hiliairious!
i usually have my cd's fall off my visor on turns now and it really sucks.. a cop was watching these silver things falling down into my passenger seat... it was funny as hell tho! <br>
Dynamat is easy to put on if you know what your doing. If not then I'd recomend having it installed by a professional because it's really sticky! Don't use expanding foam, it does exactly what it says, it expands. It actually made the rattling worse in my buddies car and almost separated parts of his trunk lid. If you put dynamat on the trunk lid and you have a remote to open the trunk then the remote will unlock the trunk but it wont lift the lid. If yoru rearview mirror rattles there is a little screw that comes loose. Just keep making sure it's not loose.
I've also got 2 12" subs, zero rattle. I didn't spend a dime either, but i'm not trying to go deaf. Just adjust the rubber stopper things on the underside of the trunk, obviously adjusting them outward (down) so the trunk is more "stiff". Also check your license plate. At the time i got my subs, i only had 2 bolts in my plate, but added 2 more & killed all rattle. Maybe i'm just lucky though because my car doesn't have the other rattles j owners complain about either.

open the trunk, and on the lid, losen and adjust the latch up until the trunk titghtens up....... be careful, if moved to high up will rub on trunk and remove paint <br>
hmmm, i wonder how u use this signature thingy
Yeah its my truck lid that rattles, anyone have a picture of what to tighten up? I called around GoHo Audio want $160 to install it and Circuit City said $200 but its not guaranteed that it'll work. I dont have money to throw away, especially something like that. Maybe in the future i'll get it done
You can also try facing your subs toward the cab of the car instead of facing them outwards. So when you open the trunk you'd see the back of the box. I don't personally know if it would work because I had dynamat installed at the same time as my system, but a few people I know have tryed it and they said it works wonders. Let me know if it helps you? Another thing you can try is to pull the back seat down if you can. It may release some of the pressure and help stop the rattling. I know someone who had to actually take his whole backseat out because of the pressure on his trunk lid, but he had a HUGE system. Again, I haven't tryed any of this myself so I'm not sure if it works but I've heard it helps. Let me know if it helps you at all!
2500 watts= no rattling or at least i couldn't hear any of it

do you have a spoiler? the adhesive on my stock spoiler had deteriorated and was rattling. after some dynamat it was a snug fit and no more rattles.
<br>
Peace Out!!!
Yeah i have a spoiler, 04 Cav coupe. I've had the car for 2 months now, nothin shouldnt be deteriorating. Has anybody tried turning their sub+box toward the cab?????Is it possible for me to go buy the Dynamat from a retail store???
you can buy it from any audio shop. but it will be a lot cheaper from ebay. or buy some other brands product like brownbread or fatmat. even cheaper.
<br>
Peace Out!!!
could be your liscense plate. Mine rattled like hell so I bought some weather stripping and screwed the plate down onto it
My license plate rattled. I got a peice of foam and cut it out and put behind my plate. No more rattle there
My lid rattles a little, Ive heard of people playing with the latch, I think I might try that too.
I have my subs pointed into my car, it still rattles. Some people will argue against this though for sound quality reasons.
You should learn how to install stuff yourself, instead of having Best Buy or Curcuit city do it. Its cheaper, and then you can truly mod your own car.

heres a question do you have cheap subs because my alum12q's hit hard as @!#$ and no rattling because it is clean bass. but my friend jeff has cheap 1251ts and when they hit rattling everywhere @!#$ty bass. also depends on amp

LOL I know the feeling. My mirror doesn't fall off at least, lol, but when I have my bass cranked and I look in the mirror it looks like I have double vision from all the vibration, lol.
