terryk2003 Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 well...if it had some PLAY in it...you might wanna adjust the latch down a lil to make the trunk latch tighter...that might help out some...maybe some dynamat!? :? ...otherwise i dunno...if/when i get my system in my car i'll prolly have the same problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoTox8410 Posted December 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 what kind of subs do ya have now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goph Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 If you have some old shirts put them in all the spaces between the trunk skin and all the suports. If you have a spoiler make sure the bolts are tight and you may want to put some type of rubber between it and the truck if you can. As for anything else you will not be able to do much with out some type of dynamat or something else on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprizzeme Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 my 88 cutty supreme also has.. or shall i say had a lot of rattle. anyways to get rid of it i put some weather stripping inbetween my tail lights and rear bumper, and that suprisingly got rid of a lot of it, also tightened all the shit in my spare tire area. the only thing that still rattles is the trunk lock, imma throw some dynamat on it and that should do the trick.. i also noticed when my subs pick up low bass my heat-shield rattles.. this will be coming off soon, im sure i wont need it that badly anyways it also helps if your subs are facing toward the front of the car.. you dont really needa have em the otherway cuz people wont be seeing to much of em. anyways i hope i somewhat helped although we have different cars.. in case you were wondering i got two 12" Kicker CompVR's powered by a 720w Jensen amp, in a custom box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puggsley456 Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Mine rattles like a crazy. I put two layers of second skin sounddeadener(stfu80) in there and it decreased by about 75-85% I had to even sound deaden above and below the rear deck because the rear window the pannel and would vibrate so much. My trunck lid moves so much that I exploded the plastic trim along the trunck lid that covers the lock. And a word of advise to anyone with a Aftermarket stereo in a W-body car. CHECK YOUR BUMPER BOLTS PERIODICALLY. Mine almost fell off last summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegeta Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 If your subs are facing the rear...thats your problem. I tried many different positions for my subs when I had them, and it sounded the best facing forward, sitting almost all the way back. I understand this varies between cars and subs and what not, but give it a shot if you can and haven't. I also noticed a ton of this rattle noise crap when I faced them torwards the rear, which is why I mention it. It could be your license plate as well, but i dunno what you can do with the lumina setup as it is. Also, get some expanding foam and spray it in the trunk holes. This really helped get the last bit of noise out of my car. That along with dynamat in the trunk and under the rear seat, the stereo couldn't be heard outside of the car with the windows up...other than a faint beat (with normal listening levels, not trying to blast my ear drums out). This was with a soundstream reference 500 amp and 2 soundstream exact 10s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990lumina Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Might want to also check the gap between the trunk lid an the sort of frame thing on the other side. My car had some tpye f glue in there that was all cracked loose so the trunk lid rattles on the frame put. - Jeff L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
