trunk rattling

Jason2525 · 05-13-2006, 08:36 PM

I currently have 2 jl 10w3v2's, and a jl 500/1 monoblock amp in a 2003 mustang gt. It is all intalled, and sounds amazing, but the trunk rattles like crazy. Does anyone know what I can do about this. Does dynamat help much? Is it worth the money?

You might want to try putting something behind the licence plate, that helped my car alot. I just used some cheap foam from Wal Mart to isolate it. I have heard that dynamat works wonders for stereo equipment. I used it in my convertible to cut down on the exhaust noise and it worked pretty well, it is expensive though.

I has the same problem with my 90 GT. First, I put some foam weather stripping behind the liscense plate, because that was where the majority of the rattling comes from. That took it down a notch, but, it was still there. I finally realized that it was coming from where the spoiler bolted to the car. I had to take the spoiler loose, and put some of the foam weather stripping under it, then bolt it back down. It never rattled again. I would start with the liscense plate, then go from there. My 01 GT was an easy fix with just removing the plastic plate frame, and tightening the liscense plate down pretty tight.

To answer your question Dino-mat works wonders and to add to it add spray foam to the open holes (dead air spaces) before you put it down. You'll noticed a sound difference too when installed(better). I would add to your trunk,doors,roof, side panels(next to rear seat).
