Stereo guys inside>>> First I'll start by listing my components.
Alpine HU
Focal 165k2s in the doors
12" custom "stealthbox" on the drivers side
Image Dynamics Sub
Rockford 800.4 Amp
It's not all installed but here is my question. What all is going to rattle inside/outside the car? I have the carpet out so I figure I'll lay down some Brown Bread anywere that is needed. Do the interior panels rattle? Liscense plate? Should I use the Brown Bread on just the back half or do the whole car (overkill?)?
Thanks!
Justin

Re: Stereo guys inside>>> A lot of stuff will rattle. Bass is moving air, when u have a lot of bass its a lot of moving air. So things will move and rattle. Get some dynamat, put that crap all in your trunk. shoot, even get some spray stuff to get where u couldnt put the mat. thats my spare change

Re: Stereo guys inside>>> The only things that rattled inside mine were the plastic pieces that are attached to the rear deck lid, and the license plate!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> Good luck.

Re: Stereo guys inside>>> Drew, Thanks for the advice. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Jack, how did you stop the rattles in the trunk? Double sided tape?
What's everyones opinion on Brown Bread vs. Dynamatt. I was leaning towards the BB b/c it looks lighter.

Re: Stereo guys inside>>> I hear weather stripping from home depot is the best stuff to use to end the rattle's. If I had my camaro I would be able to tell you exactly how to fix the stuff.... but I got about 30 or so days till I own my new baby.
Re: Stereo guys inside>>> A bunch of stuff will rattle. I recommend using Raammat, realy cool stuff that you dont have to apply with heat, doesnt weight that much and is cheaper than dynamat. I recommend pulling both trim panels out (over spare tire and the driverside one also) and putting two layers of what you choose on them. This will deaden them. If the plate rattles, go to OSH and get some of the higher density single sided foam and but it on the back corners of the plate and the inside of the frame if you have one. Will be a little harder to put plate on the first time, but will stop it from moving. Good luck. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
