Posted November 30, 201014 yr Well on the hunt for sound damping material I came across a ton of manufactures and I am not sure which ones are good these days. Please let me know who makes a good one.DynamatHushmatRockford Fosgate [not sure if they still make their own]Second SkinStinger RoadkillThat is the only ones I heard of.Thank you.
November 30, 201014 yr Go either with Second Skin or Sound Deadener Showdown (SDS)I have never used an SDS but heard nothing but good products and top quality customer service. His techniques of deadening are friendly on the wallet and get the job donewebsite:http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi
November 30, 201014 yr SDS is the shizzle... I have it on my trunk and front doors so far. Huge difference. Also for the trunk you are def going to want some CCF between the license plate and trunk lid. Cuts alot of the rattling out. I have also done a friends Miata and old Cherokee. Works wonders. Wheel wells are going to get rid of alot of road noise and the roof will help with "sound loss". Good luck. Speak to Don from SDS if you have a chance, his username is Rudeboy.
November 30, 201014 yr Depends on what/why you are deadening your trunk. The only real bit of info I can give you is that ALL manufacturers EXCEPT SDS will mislead you when it comes to recommendations. Post what you want to do and Don will let you know what you need and why and it will work. Best choice by far.
December 1, 201014 yr Stop Flex: Use Multiple Layers - Second SkinStop Vibration: Cover 25% of the panel - SDS
December 1, 201014 yr Author Honestly I have a pair of Arc Audio XXD 10s[dual 4 ohm] ported and they are receiving 150 watts rms each [ 300 x 1 @ 4 ohm] due to the amp operating at a 4 ohm load. Now I am willing to go to a 2 ohm load where it is 500 x 1 @ 2 ohms. Also I am going to use the same ported enclosure for a pair of Fi Audio subs [not sure of the model but it is the one where they offer single 4 ohm and single 2 ohm voice coils]. Now I know I will have a lot of rattle when I do that due to the face I have an 06 KIA SPECTRA SX sedan. Also note I have 6.5 coaxials in the rear deck since people sit in my car sometimes. To let you the amplifiers are all Arc Audio amps to. Plus I have a Kinetik KHC 600 battery that may or may not keep debating on that one to.
May 12, 201114 yr i have a trunk rattleing problem and pisses me off, i already dynamated rear deck anmd trunk, sounds 75 % better but still hits hard.. port is facing u when u open the trunk i want like 99% rattle free
May 12, 201114 yr What part of your trunk is rattling? First step is to isolate the problem, then address it

June 22, 201114 yr License Plates is a must thats the first thing you here mostly from the backAnd all you need for that is some CCF glued to the back of the license plate. Cheap and 100% effective.
June 22, 201114 yr And all you need for that is some CCF glued to the back of the license plate. Cheap and 100% effective.I will admit I was one of those fools that put vibration mat on the back of my license plate all those years ago... what a waste.I've since moved onto using CCF too. What about putting some of your EBR around the perimeter of the license plate?
February 9, 201213 yr I slapped some damplifier on the back of my plate the other day and tightened it down as much as possible. Took care of most noise. Before, it was almost unbearable.
