Brick2560 Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 My boy's girlfriend's brother has an acura hatchback with 2 12's I think. It sounds great from the inside, but rattled the hatch like none other. Is there any way to deaden a hatchback? Quote "Buy some shit, Build some shit, Bang some shit!" - Dr. DB Joe owns my soul.

uhoh_45 Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 some kind of deadener on the hatch, tightening up the latch weather stripping helps theres alot you can do Quote R.I.P!

raytard Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 some have those adjustable rubber bumpstops you can unscrew a little to toghten it up (but may require you to sit on the lid to close it...made a big difference in my car honestly) dynamat the metal, dynamat the license plate, get the thick rubber weatherstripping from home depot and put it over the existing rubber to like thicken it up and make it stiffer to give the hatch more resistance Quote Build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...hl=avalon+build monster/rockford/kicker/stinger cables, pioneer source, jbl highs/amps, kinetik/shuriken batts, iraggi alt, dei security, dc subs(atleast for now) Team DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick2560 Posted April 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Much appreciation Ray, thats what I was looking for! This guy is a massive man, I dont think he'll have to sit on anything to close it =P Quote "Buy some shit, Build some shit, Bang some shit!" - Dr. DB Joe owns my soul.

ChiefDankBud Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 on my hatchback i jus had my dynamat put on the trunk door, and got the liscense plate. Got rid of alot of rattling and handles those lows perfectly Quote 2003 Pontiac Vibe Dark Red 18" Motegi MR-7's 2 Alpine Type-R 6.5" Coaxial Speakers on the front doors Alpine CDA Head Unit w/IPod Cable Alpine V-Power mono mr650 12" Alpine Type-R(2 Ohm) Subwoofer Dynamat in the trunk with the liscense plate and, 2 Stock tweaters in the front, with the stock speakers in the back seats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white4d96 Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Dunno what your space looks like, but my brother had rattle issues with subs back on his DC2, spun the box around to fire forward and cut down on rattle a LOT. And he has a big box, at least for two crappy twelves (it's one of those wal-mart Dual "band pass" boxes with the 4 chrome ports or w.e), so maybe you could try that if you can.

ChiefDankBud Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 (edited) mebe its cuz i have a sealed box, but i tried spinning mine around to see what it sounded like and it lost alot of sound. Sounds wayyy better facing back and especially if you get dynamat, you feel it alott more. Also any car that has an open trunk is perfect for subs, sounds good.
