[blither]

well i got my subbox finished and got everything powered up, its sounds really nice except my trunk will rattle like no other...the out side. it seems like its coming from the latch. and i also have trouble with rattling on the inside with all the panneling..does anyone have any ideas on how i can fix this? thanks

Dynomat. It's all you need.

Dynamat is what you want, as was said by honda_racing101. I prefer dynamat extreme, lighter than orignal, dampens better and the reflective aluminum paret acts as a heat barrier also. It also installs easier, it's just peel and stick (after cleaning the surface), no heat gun needed. It also holds well to upside down surfaces (roof, trunk lid, etc).

It will really make a difference. I have 6 bulk packs of extreme (216 sq. ft) in my car...okay, I went nuts and covered every sqaure inch, but with dynamat, a little will go a long way. You don't need that much.

i wouldnt quite reccomend dynamat. sure its good put i reccomend a paste or a spray on aplication for a trunk. just sticks alittle better.

Dynamat and Dynamat Extreme stick different. Origanal Dynamat needs a heat gun to apply, doesn't act as a heat barrier and also doesn't stick well upside down, etc...like a roof or trunk lid.

Dynamat Extreme not only dampens better and is lighter, is needs no heat gun, acts as a heat barrier and sticks very well to upside down surfaces like a trunk lid and roof. I have all dynamat extreme, 216 sq ft (6 bulk packs)...in my car, the roof, trunk, floor pan, all of it. It was easy to install...much easier than orignal, and has no problem sticking on roofs, lids, and other upside surfaces...as well as surfaces that get very hot. Once it's on, it's on. I agree though, betweeh orginal and a spray, a spray will work better...but Extreme will work great for all areas, including a trunk.

well the reason i said spray/ paste is becuase if its a hatchback or crx hatch yo ucan get into the little crevassis and if tis a 4dr hatch you can spray it on in all the little areas then sand it and paint it and no one will ever see your ugly sound barrier.

well im a in a 96 ex coup, and the only part on the outside im having problems with now is the thin metal where the license plate is on... it seems like when that tacked the peices it vibrates like a bitch all over that...and i know dynomat would be a great thing to use but the only problem is im on a limited budget...and dont have a lot of money to spend...

well they make liscense plate kits that are like 15 bucks on ebay and its dnyamat or oy ucoudl buy like a speaker kit and cut the 2 10 by 10 sheets to fit the liscense plate.

[blither]

its not the liscense plate im having trouble with, its the metel behind both the plate and the peace that the plate goes into...

well still jsut take it apart and lay dynamat on it go buy like a gallon of cascade acoustic paste. its 40 bucks plus shipping nad it will cover what you need.
