Sound Deadening

[ARMYSGT_D]

how many dbs can you pick up in a trunk car by dynamating the whole trunkl no fold down seats

im hitting 137-138 on burned cd's music just curious on the kind of gain you get

[A&W ROOTBEER]

honestly i doubt you'll pick up many db's the main purpose of sound deadening is to keep your car from sounding like you got someone trapped in your trunk trying to get out..to your ear it may sound louder cause again the sound deadening will make your car/truck quiet with less road noise when driving..

spl explorer deadened his hole ride, notices no db gain but said it was louder inside

[trappin859]

You'll hear cleaner bass because there will be less rattling. That will make your system louder to the ear, although it may not reflect it on the meter.

dropping in my second t10001 will gain more db's because i thought you loose db's from the rattleing and flexing

what do you think about doing it 2 a trunk car david

[roscoe1129]

Its actually vehicle and system dependant. You cant say because my 2004 burban with 15000+ watts on 4 18s 2 layers of hushmat picked up 3 db's a toyota celica with 2 12's on 3k of power will gain anything its just something you would have to test b4 and after. I recomend it for the daily just because it makes the bass sound cleaner with out any of the extra vibrations/rattles and you car quieter in general driving down the road.

Im not david but do have input My mercedes has 2 10's with 2k of power subs and port rear. My seats do not fold down so all bass has to make its way into the cab via the rear decks factory sub holes. I have a solid metal wall on my trunk side then my gas tank then another solid metal wall on the seat back side. B4 i put 2 layers of hush mat on the trunk lid it would rattle something fierce and I could actually feel air leaking at the seams. 2 layers later and all I have is some vibration. and my roof actually vibrates a little now.
