Trunk Rattle

[Boss1985]

First off I want to thank everyone in advance for their guidance regarding this issue.

I've got a post up in the Audio thread as well but I thought I might ask some B16 owners as well.

What I have...2008 Nissan Sentra Se-R Spec V (The seats don't fold down)Pioneer F900BT (In-Dash)Rockford P1000-1BD (Mono)2 Alpine Type R 12'sRockford P400-4 (4 Channel)Simple 1 Farad Capacitor (Useless for this stuff btw)

The trunk rattles like no other, it sounds fine on the inside unless I turn it up to the point where my Alternator can't handle it.

On the outside however, even at a moderate level. There is a tremendous amount of trunk rattle, this wouldn't bug me but I'm trying to be courteous to those around me. We took a look and from where the sound is coming from Dynamat isn't going to do anything. Quite a bit of vibration is coming from the latch itself. I was looking into using a slow expanding foam (properly applied) but not sure how effective it might be. If I get out of the car and lean hard on the trunk itself (downward) I can get quite a bit of vibration to go away.

Any suggestions would be great!

also remember that your license plate is gunna rattle quite a bit i duck tape some egg crate foam behind mine to get rid of that rattle as for the rest of your rattle issues its one of those things you cant really do much about it.

Sorry, forgot to mention I have already eliminated any noise from the license plate.

i got the same exact problem, my lisence plate is silenced but my trunk still vibrates, i get most of the sound out by pushing on my trunk, but regardless do u have dynomat? cause i was thinkin of just getting some but if u say it doesnt work i dunno

[Boss1985]

We started to put it on the trunk lid but after closer examination figured out it was more in the design on the trunk. Ultimately we think foam is going to be the best option, but its not fun to work with and is a MAJOR PAIN to clean up. I hope someone has figured out a solution so I don't have to be the test dummie...

id use elemental design edead if your gunna buy dynomat much cheaper and works just as good heres the link http://www.edesignaudio.com/index.php?cPath=1_24

Dynamat isn't gonna do the trick, but this stuff looks pretty good. Cost wasn't the issue, I get dynamat super cheap. Have you ever used this edead stuff???

[nismo4life11]

yup i used the edead v1 in the rear deck and in the doors and at $1 per sq ft its a steal. Plus like i said works just as good as dynomat, i used dynomat in my old 92 se-r, and used this in my 01 se definately nice stuff

i examined my trunk a little more and its actually my rear speakers that vibrate from the subs, its like the mounting job wasnt superb but regardless hope this helps

Most people disconnect the rear speakers before you destroy them with a trunk mounted sub.

[nismo4life11]

since when? sry i've done quite a few systems and never have i ever disconnected the rear speakers i am also a member of carstereo.com and again never heard of this. Yes it makes sense but never have I heard of anyone doing this? What I do want to know is what do you use or do to your stereo for your rear fill speakers to get the right staging for your system????
