Subwoofer Rattling
Can I use "Great Stuff" in my trunk to reduce raTTLinG? I'm looking to reduce trunk rattles in my dodge car. It seems dodge trunks are the worst I have dealt with so far. Maybe it's just me or my car.. but yeah.. the trunk rattles so bad! I can imagine that it will only sound better with it insulated.
I heard from a buddy that I can use a product called GREAT STUFF to insulate it. I'm about to go buy a couple cans of it and go to town cause I'm so sick of the rattling. Help is very much appreciated.

Thanks for the great question Nathan. Trunk rattling is one of the most annoying noises I think I may have ever heard. And I'm sure that I am not the only one that would agree with that. On top of that,
Subwoofer Bass Will Be Louder When Properly Insulated As you can see by my great image that I drew up.. that bass insulation helps the subwoofer bass really sound to it's full potential. With bass sound running around all that trunk crap and into metal sections of the trunk, it will tend to vibrate a ton of stuff making it sound like crap.
To FINALLY ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, yes yes yes yes you can use great stuff to seal off that trunk. But know a couple of things before jumping into it**
1. The stuff is messy. This task is usually performed by bass junkies to "bass vehicles" and they really watch what there doing so that the Great Stuff doesn't OOZ out of your panels and into things where you do no not want it.
This stuff has a tendency to do what it wants as soon as it hits air. The reaction makes for a messy equation at times. Maybe wrap up what you don't want to get covered in this stuff.
2. The removal of this stuff is HECTIC to say the least. Don't count on getting this stuff out and having the after math of it look good. Plan on it just being where it is forever.
That is the advice I can give.. It's not too much or too great, but this great stuff is sort of a new idea in the making. I will be trying it myself in some spots as well. Well guys, adding watts is not the answer to your rattling. Insulation is.
