I have 2 12" sony xplod's and an Alpine MRP-350 amplifier with a pioneer premier 470 hu. I have a mitsubishi lancer es. My problem is this, my trunk rattles like no other so therefore I am losing some quality/SPL. I would like a really really cheap way of fixing this. What would you reccomend? Edead, dynamat, peel n' seel, foam spray? What would work best for the least amount of $... Advantages/disadvantages of them and will i notice a major difference? Thanks!
Here is a quote from Joe Smoe from another post here. "Guys, any kind of sound deadening stuff will work, whether it be edead, secondskin, dynamat, peel n' seel, ice guard, etc... they're all made of the same relative materials, your not really gonna notice a huge difference from one brand to another.
Another good tip is using spray foam. If you have a big enclosed area, say the inside of your trunk lid, or behind your tail lights, try spraying some foam in the spaces. It works great. Just remember, it's almost impossible to remove." Hope you don't mind Joe, but you pretty much summed it up pretty good.
In my car, I have a layer of plywood cut to exactly fit the floor of my trunk, with a layer of towls glued to the bottom, and then the trunk carpet placed back over the wood. I then have 1 layer of eDead v.1 over everything, and I actually filled my trunk lid with spray foam.
If you want it to look good then you could try the liquid edead I guess. Would be a pain to apply, but would definitely look nice. Don't ever think of removing it though.
Hey, i have the best edead stuff thats not spray on. It can be removed somewhat easily, but it leaves a brown residue that i dont think can be removed.
How good would the liquid edead do compared to all the others, and how expensive would it be? If it looks good I don't see the reason in EVER wanting to remove it...
Yeah, you can remove the crap, but like Chris said, it leaves a brown residue that is very very hard to get rid of. You'd most likely take the paint right off before you ever got the tar stain off. You'd probably want 2 layers of the liquid stuff to be as good or better as a layer of the roll edead.
Not sure how much a gallon covers. You'd have to go to the elemental designs website and find out. Have you ever seen a spray on bed liner? Looks kinda like that, just without the texture. It should be somewhat smooth.
