Hey guys i recently had a system installd by GL pro sound

Got put in 2 12"inch rockford fosgates, splits at the front and 2 rockford amps

Now my boot rattles like hell

GL pro sound tell me u cannot get rid of the rattle

Check your number plate, that usually makes the most noise.

You can sound deaden the under side of your boot lid. Check all screws/bolts are tight. Check the jack and tool kit, they will make some noise!

If your bootlid rattles, try looking for a thicker rubber seal so you almost haveto forceit shut.

They are wrong, there is alot you can do

Hope that helps!

i would bassically suggest the same thing as BADHAB|T.

maybe slam some soft stuff all around inside the boot, like a soft padding of some sort.

$110ish for a sheet of quality sound deadening like serenity max.

while you are at it, buy 2 and deaden both doors.

tighten every nut and bolt you can get a screwdriver or spanner onto.

tighten the jack as previously suggested.

if you are superkeen pull the back seats out and replace the parcel tray with mdf.

and if you are superdooper keen install sound deadening under the back seat.

you should have Nissan Skyline R33 Infiniti after all this.

Check the screws in the spoiler light. I was getting a bad rattle and i don't even have subs, found there was a screw missing in the spoiler light causing it to rattle.

glps really said you can't do anything to fix the rattles???!!!! surely not. boot rattles are pretty much par for the course with a decent system w/o sound deadening in most cars and i'd imagine most shops are well aware of this.

whats rattling (if is the bootlid) is the frame. get some non-acitic silicone (otherwise it'll corrode) and run a bead between the outer "skin" and the framing. go nuts and do it properly. what you want to achieve is to isolate the two from each other. then you want to cover the whole of your bootlid underside in a good quality sound deadener (g-spot is the one to go with) and re-carpet it.

if you don't want to do it yourself, you should have a chat to marty @ fhrx studios. he's on these forums and based in sydney. shoot him a pm. he's deadened many a japper (inc his own s15) and knows the ins and outs.

You can get cars totally quite no problems. It is just a long and tedious task so most shops tell you it cannot be done.

GL Pro Sould are pros, i carnt beleive they told you that .. yes as everyone has told you sound deaden everything .. you used to be able to buy this stuff called SOUND OFF professional damping for high performance car audio, you could buy this stuff in brush on and in sheets. You need to do the inside of your rear quarter panels and the boot lid, run some seam sealer in all the seams of the re-enforcements on you boot lid and either brush the deadner on the whold underside of your boot or cut out a sound deadner sheet and glue it on .. i would recomend using the brush on stuff instead of the matting.. its amazing what a difference it makes ..

i used expanda foam in my 24 y/o commie, dead quet except for the exhaust note

yeh like others have said there is plenty you can do, mostly through sound deadening...brown bread is one brand that is good. use as much as you can.

if you put some inside your doors as well you will notice an improvement in the sound of the front speakers too
