thefourth Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 No matter what, you're never gonna stop all the rattles. We do our best to tame them and reduce them. Thanks alaskanzx5 I might just do thatI can recone a sub myself. About a year ago I took 2 12" power acoustic mofos and made one sub. I took the magnet and the motor off of one and j b welded it to the other motor and magnet. I had to wind my own voice coil so it would work. After I was done hooked up to 2 boss 5000w amps. And shattered my back and all my side windows came to this thread to recommend soundqubed and ct sounds. OP goes with soundstream. oh lawd.

RooTxBeeR Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Is your trunk sealed off?

n8ball2013 Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Everything is a tradeoff. If you can't hear the trunk rattles inside the car, who cares if the trunk rattles? I'd rather have it loud inside the car and have the outside sound like it's falling apart than have no rattles and it less loud inside the car. But yeah, deadener and foam to stop rattles. This statement is only true til you get it and hear all the noises that come from your vehicle and get embarrassed. Bass rattles in traffic are like the fat guy farting in public.

You already stand out then you go and do something like that All the systems I've installed I've never in my life used sound deadener. I don't care what other people think about my vehicle, or what it sounds like outside my car. I'm about me, and inside my car. I've always driven rusted out hoopties though, lol! I definitely understand the desire not to have ones vehicle sound like it's rattling apart, it just never mattered to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 seal the box off from the trunk. if you've done it right, there wont be a difference in loudness when the trunk is open or closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe X Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Hey guys I have 2 soundqubed hds312s in a ported box firing into the car and it's loud with the trunk closed but when I open my trunk it's way louder why would it be louder with the trunk open vs closed ? If you are not sealed off fire everything back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Thurston Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 So fire the subs into the trunk or I need to seal it off completely and fire them into the car will doing that make it louder though ? I think I may just turn the subs around and call it good if it rattles I guess it rattles I mean it rattles even with the subs facing into the car just not nearly as bad as facing back into the trunk. When I open the trunk it sounds amazing I wish I could get it to sound like that facing in with the trunk closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RooTxBeeR Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 If you seal off the trunk with the subs firing into the cabin. The trunk will not rattle at all. Not one bit.
