I have 2 Fosgate P3 10's on a 1500 watt RF Punch amp. I have a really bad rattle in my trunk and I was wondering if there was an alternative to Dynamat. It's so expensive and a pain to install. I heard something about carpet insulation?

Cool I'll try that. Do you think they would have it at a normal building supply store? Like Lowe's or something to that affect?

you could also go with Second skin's overkill mat. It's cheaper, thicker and  a bit hardier then dynamat and peel n' stick. I think a 160sqft is around\4400-500. worked pretty good on some of the large trucks that I've worked on when we really need to mask over a diesel engine and mudders.

Cool Cool. I'll look into it. I just don't want to spend a lot because I don't plan on having this car more than a year more.

Eh, I would like an alternative or at least an addition to Dynamat, as well. I'm aware this topic is sort of old but I really do need some help here. I'm running 2 MTX Thunder 9500s and I've already had my trunk Dynamatted to hell and back, but I still get rattle. I've tried to double up on the seal with some 3/4" rubber weather seal but it didn't help very much. The only thing I can think of is getting some heavy duty thick rubber sealing (Like what would be on a fridge, only larger) and putting it around the other seal.

Some help would be wonderful, haha.
