Sound dampening of the trunk Options

[red94celicast]

Ok i'm just ready to put my system in(2 12" kicker L5's) and all im looking for is a cheap sound dampening product that i can use in the trunk so it doesn't rattle my car. i dont wanna spend $50-100 on dynamat or fatmat when i can get same results with something much cheaper. now i heard corkboard is just as good. if there isnt anything else i could find at home depot i'll probably use that. list what u used to sound dampen ur trunk and any other good materials or tips to use on when doing my trunk.
thanks

There are three ways to do any project, the right way the cheap way or the wrong way.
If you cheap out and use fleece and corkboard you might get good results(ahs anybody ever actually done this?) But that method isnt really a proven science other wise companies like dynamat and fat mat would be doing it.

There arent to many wrong ways to do this project... any extra material back there will absorb the sound waves, wether it is cork fleece cardboard or down feathers...

There is a reason dynamat and fatmat are used by the pro's... If you want to get the best results save up a little bit more and use dyna or fat mat...
If you cheap out now you might save a few buck but you might have to redo it later, or if you want to use the real stuff later you'll have to rip all the old stuff off to put on the new stuff which is just more time and money wasted

Dynomat is for sound reflection.

Dynamat helps lower the vibrational tendencies of the car... hence force less rattle..




dynamat basic trunk kit is 150...extreme is 170... it has less sq ft than fatmat, but is a thicker product

fatmat bulk kit at 36sq ft is only $68 shipped

Sorry i dont have any cheap solutions to your problem... but i dont really believe there are any cheap solutions...
