Subwoofer rattleing a trunk.?

-How do you make your trunk stop rattleing if you have a subwoofer in it? What can you put on the trunk to make it not rattle or not rattle "as much"?One potential culprit to 'trunk rattle' are the support rods that run from left to right. They are usually tucked close to the rear deck. Ive wrapped these in foam insulation before to stop them from rattling against each other. Ive also seen license plates housings (and the actual plate) ratlle like a mofo when they are set into the trunk. You can take these off and install back with rubber washers to stop it.

And of course like the other poster said, use Dynamat (or equivalent) Dynamat is awesome and really makes a huge difference in sound quality and noise reduction, both from the car and the outside.
describe you're car model and make for a more accurate answer



if it's a four door sedan car - pop you're boot/trunk of your car, look at the panel of the boot/trunk. put some foam and tape on the brackets. most sedans and four door trunks have an "X" looking bracket that can be found by simply looking up.

from there. grab yourself some soft foam or material and tape and jam some soft foam BETWEEN the trunk panel and the "X" frame.

if it still does not stop the rattle then you might simply have to get some friends together over a holiday, strip the car and tighten/tape the same brackets inside door panels and inside the plastic molds inside the actual car itself





on a hatchback like a corolla or laser or ford focus... the sound rattles from the windshield! such as your rear view vision mirror, **** like coins in your center console.

Even the rear windshield wiper will rattle. but that CAN NOT be fixed and I would not recommend to try it.



I have many friends who have the same problem and this takes alot of time, patience and a little bit of cash.
Dynamat Xtreme is the only thing I've used that really works. It ain't cheap, but it'll stop the rattling, and will improve SQ and SPL.
