So I finally installed my super shoebox sub this weekend. The car rattles so bad at even moderate volume levels that its all but useless. (Serves me right, being a SQ/SQL guy and buying an SPL sub, I guess). There appears to be heavy buzzing comming from the right rear quarter panel, and significant rattling from somewhere in the left rear quarter panel as well.
I've got about 10 sq ft of dynamat that I can use, but I've never installed it before, I hear it's very permanent, and I want to make the most judicious use of the stuff possible. (read, use as little as I can get away with). Since I can't imagine anyone lives with this rattling, what have you guys done to quiet things down?
What's interesting to note, if you place the sub in the spare tire well and fire it up to the hatch glass, almost all the rattles vanish. I can't imagine why the sub is firing an inch away from the quarter panel rather than into the cargo area, but I digress...
Anyway, can anyone give me some advice to cut my "trial and error" phase some?
