about to deaden my trunk...finally

eloplayspolo

k so i have had my dynamat in my garage forever and i want to finally dead my trunk.... i should have enough to do the whole damn thing... but would it be better to do just part of it and double layer in those spots?

Have you deadened your doors?

If you haven't and your mids are in the door that is the most important area to deaden. I would say to definitely put more than one layer on the outer part of the door especially right behind the mid.

yes..... i did deaden the door already, but im asking about the trunk.

I would use as much as need on the trunk lid and rear deck. After that the rear quarter panel.

Tapping on the different areas should give you a good idea of what needs it most.

so what do a single layer on everything in the trunk.... and if i have some left put it in problem spots?

I would put more than one layer on the trunk lid/door.

Tap on it to hear how it sounds before you apply any deadener. Then apply one layer and tap on it again. If it doesn't make a thud sound then apply more layers until its a solid thud when you tap on it. If you have some deadener left check out the rear deck or rear quarter panel.

The rear deck, inside the car under the rear window. This is usually another problem area but will be more work because you will probably have to remove panels to access it.

The quarter panel is easier to access but do the tap test to see which area you feel needs it most.

I wouldn't worry about the floor of the trunk. Because it has creases and bends it's pretty well dampened. If you tap on it you will probably hear a thud.
