Recently bought a RF P1 12", it is causing annoying vibration noise to the metal plate inside of car boot. Now my woofer is facing the boot door, so if my woofer facing a different direction, will it soften or cancel the vibration on the metal plate?

because i plan to make a new box if it can solve the problem.

location of the metal plate:

Try filling the gap between the trunk lid skeleton and the outer skin.

After that some sound dampening mat will help. You can also fill in the voids with expanding foam

Agreed. Expanding foam is usually the best and the quickest fix. Be careful when applying...it does expand ;-)

As stated earlier, that stuff really does expand. It will have no problem reshaping the outer skin of your boot. So if you do go this route, you really need to do a few test drops of it just so you know how much it expands.

is it true that if apply expanding foam to the boot door it is impossible to reshape the metal if it got bump cause by accident?

Thats something I wouldnt worry about. Odds are if you are in an accident and it causes damage, most likely the whole panel will be replaced. If its not that bad then it would be minimal work for a panel like that. Most minor repairs are done from the exterior of the panel anyways. But access to the rear of the panel makes it a little easier.
