all over the area where the sub is munted.

ive got some dynamat sound deadening and its great i could hear the improvement straight away the sub sounds much better but its expensive i got 1 roll which covered most of the wheel well and it costs about 18 quid but its worth it though

try your numberplate, the flexible gap between the two screws might be flaping against the bodywork !

also squish some little bits of foam into the slots where your parcel shelf sits, i found that the parcelshelf was rattling in it's fittings.

And finally just tighten up any screws you can see in the trim panels around the parcel shelf/boot.

ok i had the same problem, but a trip to the local B&Q helped, go to the roofing area, and get self adhesive flashing tape, its almost the same as "brown bread and dynamat" but a lot cheaper, worked wonders on mine, and i have 2x 15" subs in the back, think i got a 10m x 30cm roll for about 8 quid just use a couple or rolls

Dynamat is not intended as a sound deadener, it is meant to for sound clarity. Rather than absorbing the sound and killing the rattles it reflects the sound giving a much better note.

Definately worth spending a few bucks.
