hmmmm... Unregistered guest | will sound deadening make my system louder or just quieter from the outside? My car rattles a lot outside, but you can't here anything from the inside. And what should I use to deaden the sound... The trunk is the worst part of it!! that thing sounds like it wants to come off. P.S. why is my system louder with the trunk open?!?!?!?!? |

They hear something rattle in the inside, and it kills the sound so they put dynamat or anything else. If u wan't ur trunk to stop rattling, well then u can use any expanding foam. I can't remember the exact products, but they are available at your local hardware stores. |
