My right door is rattling from my 15" anyonehave any suggestions? i was gonna use the sound proofing stuff but its the inner layer of the door thats rattling i cant get to it. some guy told me to "sound dent" by using spray-on tar throught the holes to make the sheet metal heavy so it wouldnt wobble.
:confused: :thumbsup: :honda: :thumbsup: :confused:

yups the spray on tar will help... put some foam in, that'll help too....

all u need to do is to put some sort of insulation into the door to prevent rattling...

i think he is referring to sound deadener cost about $10-15 a can from supercheap if i rem correctly. That should fix your problem.

You can also buy special stick on products that are designed to go behind your splits on the out door metal. Speak to any car audio specialist about what product would suite, and then you can do the install.

its sheets of sound deadener. It is also quite expensive. If you don't like the can type you can get it in a bucket and paint in on yourself that way you can get it as thick as you want. One thing DON'T put it on your exhaust(talking from experience) i think that is also on the instructions somewhere but i never seem to read them anyway.

I sprayed some of that super cheap sound deadener in a can and it just seemed like black paint? I just don't think it would do anything.

I have some dynamat now and thinking of getting some "paste on" sound deadener for hard to reach areas

to really fix the problem use the marine engine room stuff! but it weighs a TON!!!!!!
a good cheap audio place in syd. is soundmaster in hurstville. Not sure if they do sound deadening though otherwise precision audio in blakehurst are good, but not cheap

I used it before you gotta shake the can well otherwise it looks like black paint. If you shake it properly it will become like the gooey stuff that you get from factory but it is not as hard. Seems to stay semi hard. Works well enough though. THe paint on stuff is harder to get an even finish but it is thicker. Just be careful cps the paint on stuff generally dries fast and your paint brush goes hard fast. Cna't rem the name it just said sound deadener on the can. Some black label from supercheap, did it a few yrs ago on my old ar that had lots of rattling due to a very loud exhaust.

Hey *****dood, just feedback after using spray on tar for my civic... I used it about 2 mths ago throughout the bottom of my car, sprayed various cotes, specially under the boot and wheel sells/arches.. To my amazement IT WORK great!!!:thumbsup: :thumbsup: I was about to buy some packs of dynamat and decided to go with this VERY cheapo option 1st.. I can t be more happy with results. Car ride is quiter, body is tighter, sound from my woofer in the boot is better and having rust protection is a TOTAL BONUS....AWESOME.. The only section i sprayed inside the cabin was inside the boot, the section covered by the carpet material on either side of the boot walls and rear wheel arches. Cant remember the name of the cans i used but i used roughly 8 cans for this DIY. Bought at Repco

i reckon it's easier and better to adjust systems, so speakers in doors play more trebles, than bass, rear speakers min bass, and sub all other things, for best result you need one 8" or 10".
because everything will start rattle after 130 db for couple of min's everyday. it's good to fix this problem, but u need to rebuild car completely, like u need to put specials windows e.t.c. or do everything, or jsut adjust your system so u hear the quality first. For example in my system u mostly hear sound not rattling
also can use rubber to fix parts that rattle a lot;)

my flatmate said to me one thing, if u don't like some sound of your car, just make system louder, and u won't hear it:cool:

IMO i think this spray on tar is only a temporary solution to your problem. The most efficient way to stop rattling within the sheet panels of the car is to sound deaden it with DYNAMAT.

Problem is that EGs (or at least mine) have very thin metal panels therefore increasing the rattling within the doors. I have sound deadened my EG and although dynamat is a bit more dear the results are far more noticeable as almost all the rattling has been eliminated and road noise has been minimised substantially.

so you can get that DYNAMAT from places like supercheap, repco...?
its it a stick on sheet or a spray?
