alright i got 2 12 inch alpine E type subs in my hatchback i was wondering if there is anyhting cheaper i can put in my trunk area to stop the rattle from my hatch back it rattles like a mo ****** so any help would be greatly appreciated i was thinking perhaps just strait up carpet foam but i dont know if it will work any ideas? >>

Well, you can use Dynamat, but only if you feel like wasting lots of money, because Dynamat is very expensive. I used 62.5 sq. ft. of RAAMmat60 (available at http://www.raamaudio.com and highly praised at http://www.elitecaraudio.com) in my car and it helped a lot. It's exactly the same as Dynamat Extreme, but doesn't have a Dynamat logo so therefore you save lots and lots of money.

Also, I've read that you can use trunk bed liner, expanding foam(like Great Stuff), and Peel and Seal(found at Lowes and Home Depot in the roofing supplies section) to sound deaden cars. Hope this helps. >>

Do you mean Alpine Type-R's like mine?

The big panel along the back of the trunk, I took it off and it stopped rattling for the most part. When I turn the bass up, there will still be some bumper rattle, but thats only when the bass and the music is REALLY loud.

i used a door kit of dynamat and this pipe insulating stuff. i forget that the stuff is but its a thin foam strip and its sticky on one side. i put that inbetween where all the plastic meets the metal. between that and the dynamat it pretty much stopped all the rattleing. the bumped rattles if i have it cranked up be other than that it worked.

my car is metal to metal on the hatch back trunck peice so yeah the trunck is the only piece that is rattling i was thinking about using the carpet foam stuff for under the carpet of your house i was wondering if that stuff could work?

they make Alpine type E's they are exactly the same as the Type R cept they cant handle as much peak power....like 600 watts i think as compared to the 1000 peak of the Type R...heh I have the Type S sub in my car

yes my type E's are not bad considering how much i paid for 2 of them only 115 for both! dont know if anyone here could get that type of deal i got some hook ups here i am also getting my windows tinted for 20$ a window a buddy is hooking me up with this guy that does them at a shop he did them on my friends trucks and they look awesome anyhow anyone from northern sandiego and perhaps wants to spend 90 dollars for 5 windows done let me know....

E type are the bottom of the bucket cheap subs thats why you got a deal. the type S and type R are the good subs walmart would sell E types sorry man there ok if you have alittle system >>

i realize that >> but untill you hear them you cannot say they sound horrable! for the price they sound damn good atleast i thought so i want to upgrade to so orions though i am thinking 2 8 inch speakers for better quality. but i am posative it would still rattle.

i have three audiobahn 10's in my trunk i had to dynomat the whole back of my car so it wouldn't rattle

those new audiobahns are sick...I just wish i didnt have so many other things to do to my car.
