Ok so I'm one of the many wanting to get rid of my rear deck and trunk rattle.Well a few month ago I took off my trunk lid and put dynamat extreme on it and thats fixed so I wanted to move to my rear deck today! Well I gt everything disassembled and put on a layer of dynamat (Pics Below),It wasnt totally pro looking due to having to cut small pieces to fit correctly.Well I also got my Black balogna and rattle pad from second skin audio.So I took some 3m adhesive and put on one big peice of the black balogna and tok a strip of rattle pad and put it where the deck meets the windshield.So all is well and I try to reassemble! BIG problem Anything thicker than a lyer of dynamat and the deck pins cant be fully inserted! So after a huge hassle of trying to fit it and cutting my finger all up I have to tear out the black balogna stuff and rattle pad =(, and end up breaking 3 of the deck pins in the process =(.Well I left the dynamat extreme on and managed to get the deck back on and car reasembled.Took it for a test drive and blasted the system at full volume with sub pounding and NO vibrations =) all I hear is a lil air escaping from some cracks.So after all that I acomplished my mission. Next week I'll save my self the trouble and put some Cascade audio spray n dampened to the underside of the id in the trunk and seal everything up nice and tight! BTW my bass is noticably louder too =) PICS BELOW

Why didn't you put it in the ICE section?

I remember doing that craziness. I couldn't actually get the deck fully off, so I was working with it still attached.

It kinda sucks that I broke pins and stuff and didnt get exctly what I wanted done but I did accomplish what I set out to do and that was to get rid of the rattle.

How many subs you got?

1 12" sub in a band pass.Shakes my car alot and when the weather was cold my rear deck would rattle non stop..even if the volume was low!

you covered the 6x9 holes! cut those out! let all that nice bass into the cabin more freely! its like having the seats permanently folded down

No those are 6 1/2" holes I have a sedan.Put I did have them open before it was dynamated and the bass was louder than with speaker in there.But now that everything is dynamated it's even louder! besides I'm never taking my damn rear deck off again,such a pain int the *** trying to line the holes back up!

you can get quite a potential benefit by opening up those holes....

yeah..they were open before i did the dynamat and it gave me alot more bass...but when I put dynamat on and ove rthe holes I got even more than before.I just dont want to risk opening up the hole and get more rattling and have to redo it all over again!

for so much work that youve already put into it, youve done too much not to get the maximum potential benefit from your car!

its gotta be worth the risk, right?

maybe.But I just had another rattle =0 now its where the deck meets the window AAARGGG can't I have a decent sounding car. Well I guess what i'm gonna do you it take that spray on stuff and completelty seal the botom of where the trunk meets the deck!! that way no air will be able to get below the rear deck! seems like my only option.

you're lucky, i put in 100 sq feet of fatmat in my trunk and on my rear deck (top and bottom of it) (2 layers thick) and used expanding foam as well. I still have some rattles. I know my tails are rattling, but there are otherplaces on the rear deck and elsewhere that are rattling. its annoying...
