Dynamat In Boot

[Ionos]

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 just biting the bullet and doing the entire boot.... i did my whole boot except for the boot lid cuz i ran out of dynamat and money lolz but as soon as i get the cash for the rest of the dynamat, anywhere in the boot that doesnt have dynamat wil be done

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..

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.

yeah a bloke called ryan works at holden its an awesome car heavy fooker tho lol
