Car Rattling with subs?

Chadzilla · 05-20-2008, 12:20 AM

Hi,
I am interested in putting 2 alpine 10's in my car in a sealed box. With a 2 channel amp, 4 new speakers, and a new head unit. Before i drop $1100 on a system I need some feedback. How bad does a mustang rattle with subs? My door pannels seem to rattle a bit with the stock system so I am a little concerned. What are your expiriences?

Or dynamat or many other products similar.

For some of my old projects I lined the entire trunk, floor pan, doors, firewall and roof with Dynamat. then I sprayed all of it with ruberized undercoating then before I laid the carpet and pads back down I put a closed cell foam pad down. Then I cut channels through this layer cake to route cables.

Also Dynamated the license plates and top of the gas tank. But this adds alot of weight and is a bit overkill. I did this for sound offs

if you are running a two channel amp into two 10's (you didnt state the wattage) so i would assume you to be running less than 500 watts rms. you will need to do some sound deadening work, but not a ton. i had zero exteriornoise/rattle when i was running 500 rms @ 2 ohms into two 12's in a sealed box. ratteling became an issue for me when i bumped it up to 800 watts into the same 12's in a ported enclosure tuned to 32Hz.
