I've got about 3 big sheets of dynamat to go in the boot for my Sub install, and want to know where to stick it for the best effect.

I've already done the parcel shelf, so I'm thinking - boot lid, back (under parcel shelf) and any left over will go on the floor, plus i'll save a bit for any other rattles that pop up. Any other suggestions?

Hi mate... You need to cover as much area as you possibly can with the dynamat. You might want to think about covering both sides of the boot, the fuel cap, the side panels under the rear windows, behind the back seat and depending on how much bass you want to run, you might want to think about sticking some of that dynamat on the back of your number plate. I wouldn't bother too much with the boot floor, it is already covered with sound deadener (or it should be). And if you have done the top of your parcel shelf, don't bother about doing the bottom, that's a little over kill.

I hope this helps you out.

Great, thanks mate. I ended up covering the boot lid and a little of the sides as well. My amp is currently dead so saving the rest until I can replace it, then put it where needed to eliminate any rattles.

I would suggest attempting to cover as much of the boot as you possibly can. And depending on how much bass you want to have in your boot, would determine how many layers of the stuff you want to put in. In my car, the final plan is to have 2 X 12's and 2 X 10's, somehow fitting in the boot, so I have gone with 2-3 layers all round. Yes I know, may be a little bit of overkill, but the vibrations will stop and the sound quality will be much more improved. Also, if money is a problem, try searching for the stuff on E-Bay, or even google this product "B-QUIET". There is a website you can go to and buy it online, I just can't remember it off the top of my head. The products are much cheaper, buying it from the US, however it's the freight cost that will kill you.

Check that out and see how you go.

dude sounds like ur gunna have a crazy system but u do realise having 2 x 12's and 2 x 10's u will actually lose sound quality due to the subs running in a different phase and pushing different power and bass levels..... so i would suggest goin for all of the same size subs.... also if u are after bigger bass sometimes more subs isnt always the way to go, sometimes better to go with just 2 x 12's and get the boxes built to spec for the optimum SPL performance levels for the particular subs u r goin to be using..... but either way good luck with the system... just thought i might offer some advice..... keen to see some pics of the finished product

Watch out when you do your boot lid, It makes it really heavy.

I have to be careful when I close mine otherwise it'll slam really hard and the clips pop off the lining. plus it would break your hand or arm easily if it was in the way.

It would be making it better with mine, no wing on a 32 boot, you have to watch and hold onto it or make sure your head is out of the way when it opens..

hey heres a pic of my boot all done by gt autosound in adelaide if u have any ideas on how 2 get the crap out let me know cos it ways a ton and i want my boot lol , previous owner did it not me btw. :cool:

Did you buy that from a bloke up in Golden Grove? I looked at that car when I was buying mine, it looks nice and clean.

I reckon you'd need a hammer, chisel and a few hours work to get all that out. It's the MDF and fiberglass that weights a lot.

      I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.

      [HOW-TO] Winter Steam-Clean & Odour Removal in 30 min

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up

      [HOW-TO] Winter Steam-Clean & Odour Removal in 30 min

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.

      [HOW-TO] Winter Steam-Clean & Odour Removal in 30 min

      We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.

      This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
