Default Rattling

Hey guys, for those who have significant power in their subs in the back (facing the back), do you get alot (or any) rattling of your car. Did you feel the need to dynamat it? I'm of course, talking about the BAD type of rattling.


I'm just curious.

I have 1200 watts feeding 2 10" subs in an under the strut fiberglass box. I just finished dynamatting the whole trunk. The dynamat did not help to reduce road noise that much, but it made a big difference in reducing the rattling from the bass as well as making the bass tighter.

The wind shield wiper blade dances all over my car...not much you can do for that other than removing the whole thing. There is a plastic piece that jumps around and hits the glass next to the brake light on the rear glass. Nothing can fix that short of cutting it off which I believe STU did....

Understand that the amount of acoustic energy that is causing your car to rattle is also destroying your hearing (as in for life/forever). In the off chance that you live to my ripe old age you'll enjoy a life time filled with ringing in your ears and hearing loss which makes using the phone and hearing people talk more difficult then it ought to be.

I've got 75 sq.ft. worth of fatmat installed from behind the seats to the tail, there is no buzzing going on. I've layered the back of my license plate and removed that pesky rear windshield wiper too.
