Rattle From Sub

home depot or lowes.

I'm guessing just slather on an even layer and let it dry

 

Sorry guys I was not trying to give bad advice, just something that could fix his problem without spending a lot of $$ or a lot of time. My thunderbird rattled like I was dragging a dozen empty beer cans behind it. My rear deck was jumping up and down and the trunk lid was rattling like crazy. Someone suggested it and I trid it, the stuff I used was pretty thick and i put like 3 coats on under the rear deck, the bottom of the trunk lid and behind the panels of the rear seat area. I ended up using like 4 cans all around and was easy to apply and costed me I think around 30 dollars. You may not believe me ( I have no reason to lie) but it didnt rattle any more after that. Im sure it would not work in every car but for this application it should work fine and not cost him hardly anything. Like I said I was not trying to give bad advice, just something that worked really well for me in the past. Damn now I need a beer.

 

pfft.. i got this guys.. just remove the seat belt!.. they can just use the lapbelt.. done!

 

Hey we weren't bashing your idea...yes it will work for some applications but we were just stating that it will not rid all rattles

 

So are you guys saying that silicone has a higher thermal and physical mass than undercaoting. The stuff that i used was way thicker and heavier that silicone? Just wondering your thoughts?

 

Basically, silicone will fill the gaps better, and absorb and tranfer the energy to an adjacent object which is more stable, better than, undercoating. especially in the interior. Undercoating makes one hell of a mess with its overspray all over the cloth and leather interior!!!!! LOL!!!!!



When you want to stop vibrations in the car, you need some serious weight. This will cause the object to resonate at a frequency lower than what the sub bass is able to play. kind of like a full can of beer verses an empty can of beer. the full beer will alow my belly to resonate at 34 hz, the contents of the empty can of beer in my belly will lower this by 12 hz.......i am sure this is true....
