Try to buy the damping in as much bulk as you can. Those "kits" made by Dynamat are lean and expensive. On the door, you should cover the entire panel that the speaker is attached to. On my car, after doing that I still heard vibrations from the outside of the door, and while the window was open. So I covered the skin of the door, too. That eliminated all bad sounds and made the speakers sound much better. Its difficult to reach through the holes in the panel to get to the skin, but if you cut the damping in small enough strips you can get it covered pretty well. I used 40 sq ft on just the two front doors, the rear deck, and the trunk lid (Taurus). But it took care of all the rattling problems.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

To stop the rattling of the rear deck, would I have to cover the whole trunk or just the rear deck? What would work better, covering it from the top or bottom (the rear deck)?

Ideally you would want to cover it from the top.

Buy some bulk paks of dynamat x-treme and just start going after each rattle. It's easy to do.

Usually you can walk around and put your hand on each part that is making noise.

Cool. I am pretty satisfied with the cda7995. I also have an Eclipse but I can't really use it because my window will get broke again. The alpine the Alpine puts out a very clean signal because of the remote power supply.

As for the damping, also remember that the stuff weighs a lot so if you have a big box already lowering your suspension, it will add more weight. I added about 600lbs in Dynamat X. It adds up. Multi layers will help the most on the trunk lid but again, this will make it heavier. I had to beef up my springs quite a bit. If not, it would have easily broke my back if it fell closed.

Ha yeah, dern theives ruinin shiat again.

600lbs, thats incredible, that must hurt your cars performance a lot. My car would run so slow with that much added wieght.
