    You can install Dynamat everywhere or someting equal.

    I used (a lot of) Dynamat for the rear deck and front doors when I installed my 4-ch amp and speakers (no sub), sounds good for me :D

    yep dynamat, (brownbread is popular), but i heard that "B-QUIT" is the best stuff, because it's lighter, thinner and deadens the vibrations more effectivly.

    What kind of stores can I buy dynamat-like material from? Becuz I don't wanna waste my money on the kit, I'll just measure and cut up the material myself.

    There's this thing called "StormGuard" that you can buy off of Home Depot (or Lowes) that is VERY similar, and works exactly like Dynamat. It is used as a roof patch in the construction industry-- and it is DIRT CHEAP. (10 sq FT for like $1)

    hey xtm do you know any other stores that mite sell it?
    becuz i went to home depot, rona, and home hardware nobody had a clue of what stormguard was. I described it as roof patching kind of material with a sticky side. Is stormguard the brand name or the name of the actual material? hope you can help me out cuz i just got a sub and desperately need to stop the rattle. thx.

    I used StormGuard about years ago on my car, and it works great. Very cheap and easy to install. You will have to remove your molding and you will have to purchase a wooden roller with it. Trust me get the wooden one.,
