ive recently put 2 new alpine s-tye subs in my boot in a double mdf box. the problem is that when i turn my system up not even half way my boot seem 2 rattle like a bitch! i got out of the car to listen to it and it sounds dreadful! ive taken the carpet thing off of the boot to see wot is rattling but the only thing in there is the boot lock the rest is empty, so its hollow.
what can i do to stop the boot rattling, cos it sounds so bad!

fill any holes u can with expanding foam and then get some dynamat - comes as standard or xtreme the xtreme is a bit dearer, but well worth the additional cost

take it easy with the expanding foam, cos it expands quite a lot!

The rubber bungs in the wheel well cause BIG vibrations. Stick a layer of dynamat over them inside the boot to secure them
