Gene,

I'm also interested...I wanna get rid of all the rattles and creaks coming out of my trunk when I play my music... is there some spray dynamat material that I can use? that blue stuff that peter lufrano uses, is it any good?

Sasha & Manny - I've found that the sheets of Dynamat work best in a trunk or in the headliner area. The spray stuff ( and anything Peter uses is good! ) works for those area U can't reach into to apply the sheet material. Just measure & pre-cut the sheets into the size & shape U need. Might want to get a few sheets of poster board to use as templates to be really accurate but since U're gonna hide the material behind carpet & other covers, if U run short, just cut a small piece & butt it up to the previous one. Sasha - this stuff doesn't expand. I use the old method of heating it with a heat gun ( makes it more pliable ) & using a 2" or 3" wooden roller to make it comform to irregularities. Still like Dynamat Super & for the spray type, I chose Stinger Roadkill but I'm partial to Stinger products anyway. Also wouldn't hurt to wipe the bare metal down with isopropal alcohol first to ensure adhesion.

so you apply to bare metal right? like i would put some beside the spare tire in that area?

p.s. where is a good place to order or buy the stuff?

Sasha - Yep, it goes directly on the bare metal. Go ahead & line the entire spare tire wheelwell ( bottom & sides ) while U're in there. As far as buying it, any audio store in your area should be able to hook U up - can also check with Crutchfield & some of the other online vendors mentioned in some earlier post - sorry that I can't remember any specific ones but I get my stuff at cost from my buddy's shop so don't have the need to buy online.
