I would not use anything else. It's efficient and not too expensive.

You only need a 25% coverage.

OP : do the front doors first.

If you have some left, use it in the trunk.

Why would you do the front doors first if trying to dampen sub rattle? (Even if only from 8s).

Just asking bc it would seem to me that the trunk lid and rear deck are the most obvious rattle zones from subs.

He should not have a lot of rattles from 2 8" subs. I 'd do the front doors to improve the front stage : it's the most important, we're talking about music, not SPL.

When doors are done, you'll have some more left : it should be enough to do the trunk. You don't need 100% coverage : 25 % is a good ratio.

A loud bass and front speakers inaudible? That makes no sense for me. I may love bass, but I'm more a music lover !!!

You can use different materials to stop rattles. Put some carpet between plastic and metal parts to avoid noise, use expansive foam,...etc A few cheap but good tricks to improve the sound system.

You can use that if you are on a very tight budget, although getting some closed cell foam wouldn't be expensive at all since you barely need any.

I wouldn't use expanding foam except if it's in bags, but that's still messing around.
