    The Trunk !

    1 can of spray foam and roughly half a sheet of MDF. I did have the luxury of having my rear deck sealed with deadener already, but you can get creative here. Strip the rear deck and find and fill all the holes with caulking or even a small amount of expanding foam. Be careful with the foam. If you spray it into a spot where two panels are welded together you can run the risk of it expanding enough to pop the weld. I did that in the trunk of my third Gen Maxima.

    You will lose the benefit of "loading" if you just face it forward. there are other things at work too, but that is a separate topic. If you have rigged your rear seats to go down and don't mind them being down and can seal the face of the box off from the trunk, go for it. Here is one of my many renditions. Rear facing: Sealed off and forward facing: I not only gained over eliminated trunk rattle, made it easier to blend with the front stage, but also gained over 3db. Depending on the size of the opening and your rear deck, the entire project can be done for well under $100. Yes, I have done it for that or less.

    No disrespect taken Jon. I am with you an misconceptions as well. I was trying to work with the info I was given. I have watched your car being built on the forums. I have always enjoyed your project. I retract my statement about it being a waste.

    Then we started on the interior and interior panels. Every surface was dead. I went back and added ~50 Sq Ft of Ensolite to all the door panels. The closed cell foam products worked very well with the remaining road noise.

    Here is my person vehicle (sold it last year) That was the first layer. When I was done I had over 300Lbs added to the GVW of the car. Yes I took it to a weigh station when we were done.

    I have never done an install in a Countour. If memory serves me correctly, they have a decently large rear deck shelf. Do you have the ability to fold the rear seats down?

    It is cheaper than wasting all your money on deadener. whoa whoa whoa..... back this trolly up. deadener is FARRRRR from a waste of money, you must have used fat mat or some shit. i have 2 15s on 7K in my trunk and it does not rattle any where like you would think... not to mention it helps your sound floor... i just woke up ill let others tell your more benifits of deadener please dont give advice if you dont know what your talking about,. Morning bigjon! I stated that poorly. I think deadener and mass loading in general has it's place. I have a lot of experience in many different vehicles and many different products. I have used Rammat, Stinger Extreme Roadkill, Dynamat, and Dynamat Extreme all in my own car and several other brand others brought to me for their cars. FatMat, Edaed and the like. I think this puts me in a position to have an informed decision. Thus I was inclined to give Tony my advice. No question about deadener changing your sound floor. It also has had the effect of lowering my peak frequency. My cabin was so dead with respect to road noise and internal vibrations. I loved it and would do it again given the budget to do so. I spent over $1k on deadener alone in an effort to quiet my trunk. With the subs facing the trunk, it didn't matter. I added 4 layers and it still rattled. As Tony stated, he is in HS and doesn't have the money to spend on deadener. A sheet of 1/2"MDF and some creativity can solve his problem if he has the ability to fire forward. Chris

    I will never do a trunk car any other way again. Well, with the exception of a 4th order done in the same manor.

    Awesome! The best advise I can give is to seal the trunk off and fire the port and sub forward. Second choice would be port up through the rear deck and sub forward. I know this sounds like a lot, but it really isn't. It is cheaper than wasting all your money on deadener. I have been there. The only thing that made me happy was eliminating it all together. What car/truck?

    LOL. My first thought was, oh boy. I am glad you got everything and it was undamaged. What application will they be used in?

    Outside of Tony being excited about his purchase, I don't really think so.

    Yeah man! It is like a bad ass random gift when you come home from work. You are about half way through the typical time it takes to fully process an order. You won't regret it. Chris
