Boot rattles from sub. Where to sound deaden?

[matt|H]

Months ago I got my sub in and every single panel rattled. I sound deadened the rear panels and will be doing the front doors this weekend but the main rattle is coming from the boot when the bass hits.

Is there anywhere in particular I should put the sound deadening to stop it?

Boot door.

Get teh plastic panel off, there is 3 holes in it. Stuff old towels in there, so it's rammed with them, then tape over the holes with gaffer tape, then replace the plastic trim.

I'll have a look tomorrow but think I'll use sound deadening instead of towels

Thanks

 

[Skinny]

Towels will do the job, it's a hard to get to place. Towels are easy to get in.


It worked for my rattles, so it will certainly work for yours.

 

[matt|H]

Ok thanks will give it a go

foam works well too with gaffer tape

 

[Skinny]

Foam is good. But is a b**ch to remove, where as towels works almost as well, but are easy to remove.

 

[colossuss]

But realistically, why would you remove it? Unless you were going to strip your interior

i took my rear wiper off as it kept vibrating and then ended up a inch or two lower then were it should sit, didnt get around to sound deadening

 

[Dink]

is it your number plate thats rattling? as mine used to like a b**ch

just used some foam pads on the corners sorted it

 

[matt|H]

Don't think so but I'll check in a min when I wake the lazy neighbours up

I used a bit of Dynamat in my dci as my sub shook the whole car lol

 

[Russy B]

dynamat is expensive for how much u get, granted it is good stuff though

 

[Tigger]

Don't forget - your spoiler rattles too with a sub in the boot

I filled the void with loft insulation, pack it in as tight as you can i mean stuff loads in there. Then gaffer tape over the whole lot so it keeps it in, then a layer of sound deadening.

Worked great for me.

 

[BIFCAIDS]

fucked if your wiper wires need replacing heaven forbid

 

[matt|H]

Ripped off all plastic from the boot and put sound deadening inside the boot door. Also I wedged some stuff under the brake light on the spoiler as that was making a lot of noise as someone just said...
