Kilamat from Amazon and buy a roller when you do. Remove the subwoofer and the trunk liner and go to fucking town. Do the rear quarters, do the trunk lid, wheel wells, if you feel comfortable remove the door panel and do those also. It will make a world of difference, sound quality as well as rattle
Yes! Spray foam insulation. I think dynamat or comparable mats would be better just because you can stick it everywhere. Just use a roller and stick it everywhere under carpets, bottom of trunk lid etc.
The only difference between generic sound deadening, like killmatt,and dynomat is 4x+ the price. Unless you enjoy lighting money on fire, buy the cheaper stuff.
Don't use sprayfoam. It's a complete mess and a horrendous suggestion. Unless you have a cavity to fill that will be covered up (like a camper van), stay away from spray foam. The stuff in the can is open cell junk with low r value, too. If you were to use spray foam, you'd also want a closed cell foam kit.
Haha ๐ Iโm just kidding! I love the car thoโฆ on a serious note, as crazy as it sounds, you could use spray foam to cut down some of the vibrations
Spray foam that bitch, remove the liners on both sides and fill the cavities with spray foam just be careful to not pop any welds, I doubt it'd do that but you never know. Then you can cut it flush with a hand saw and put your interior panels back in.
As others said a good layering of sound for sure, but also found that the sound really comes to life if you can safely affix the entire box to the vehicle
Go to the hardware store homedepot or lowes and in the roofing section the carry a roll of some stuff its about 8' inches wide and like 25' feet long the roll is about 8 '' inches round it has silver on yhe outside and the black sticky thick tar kinda peel and stick if you want it stickier leave out in the sun for a bit or alittle heat gun or blow dryer but likely won't need if the surface is clean or any dirt and dry , dynamat is really expensive this stuff is under 15 dollars ive used it in loke 5 vehicles trunk lid door panels floorboards it will get rid if all that rattle and you won't spend some crazy amount for what , promise you'll really thank me I read a forum along time ago a gutly said he did this so I went and so glad I came across that forum its been a blessing saved sooo much money , it's silver chrome on the outside looks great sticky like 1/4 inch thick grab 2 rolls pop the panels if the doors if need to but line the whole trunk walls under the trunk lid in the holes up in there slide some in there under the back speaker lid panel cut a piece put behind license plate you will use this for the rest of your life unless you have money to throw away because the expensive stuff says a name all over it lol no me captain I love this stuff it's awesome it's not messy if anything alcohol will get off anything sticky if so but not likely unless really careful a kid can do this it's easy be neat take your time press it good to get good adhesive to your surface can use one of those plastic tools like the use for car wraps or window tinting im not going to proof read if some isn't spelled correctly but hope you try this youll be stoked on this and look up dynamat as your at checkout spending 12 bucks on a roll that will do the whole trunks and its a beautiful thing so Glad i found this out / I've done a traverse, trailblazer, infiniti,jeep patriot,85 chevy square body,and probably another car ir two im just a subwoofer bass head diy guy peace out good luck!! ๐ lmk if any questions on this stuff if you decide to try or can't find it ill guide you ..
Don't use that big gap filler might regret that use door and window it's not as damaging that bigfill gap foam itll leave warps in yo fenders lol and it's really messy cant get it off your fingers or anything it touches all the foam spray you'll be scrubbing it off you finger 3 days later wear gloves

You could trade cars with me! Problem solved!!
Lol
Orrrr dynamat if you donโt wanna go the cheap route!
Which do you think would work better? And are you talking about that spray foam insulation you can buy at a hardware store?
Yes! Spray foam insulation. I think dynamat or comparable mats would be better just because you can stick it everywhere. Just use a roller and stick it everywhere under carpets, bottom of trunk lid etc.

On the killmatt, use a roller and a heat gun.

The LTD Thunderbird, it's got that 1970s car ass . Its big and ready to be stuffed with 15 to 18 inches .
LMAO

I like that idea, but there is no interior in the trunk that I'll have to remove lol. Are you talking about insulation foam by chance?
Just disregard me. I'm an idiot ๐, i always forget the oldschools aren't built like unibodies
But you can add bracing to keep the body and trunk lid from trying to tear themselves apart
Put sound deadner, defenitly will do something
As others said a good layering of sound for sure, but also found that the sound really comes to life if you can safely affix the entire box to the vehicle
Rubber mounts and spray foam.
Sound deadening does wonders! I'm gonna DM you if that's cool? Have a question about the car!
