Thanks for the help guys. I couldnt get any at all earlier, only racist comments.

7.8 cf box?!! ****, that's a big box!

Had no choice. Each sub requires 2 cubes after displacement. Was aiming for 8 cubes but didn't quite make it. Thats a nice azz mustang btw!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I had this happen to my grand prix. Luckily I have a tig welder that is capable of welding thin material and not burning it. After I welded it back together with some reinforcement pieces, I back-filled the cavity with expanding foam which seemed to stop a lot of rattle too.
If you don't have access to a tig welder, I suggest having a trained welder piece it back together, deadening the shit out of it, then making some larger brackets for it so that it attaches to the trunk at more than just one bolt-point per side.

Great idea with the foam. Now I just have to find someone that can weld around here.

Anyone else have any input?

i also had this happen to a crown vic, how ironic, but eventually had to get rid of the car not long after.
In that car, i had my dad re-weld the locking mechanism back on the frame, but before that happened, my catalytic converter had got damaged 3 times in 10 days! I was refused warranty or replacement service from 2 companies and another company refused to install one on there PERIOD because they were saying my stereo system was too strong for the car i was driving...

Sadly, the single sub i was using has still yet to be sold because it's "too powerful", that's what everyone tells me. So, it's my legendary car killer = The Original AQ HD3 line.

Lol, I remember the videos on youtube and roe, quite a beast in that car. If im not mistaken, Crownvic02 had a similar issue with his trunk with his BTLs, I cant remember how he fixed it.

Something like this always concerned me at some point, one of the reasons im seriously considering some kind of blowthrough my rear deck to avoid these issues. And trunk rattle //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Best way to fix it- get a car thats not a dumb nigger car, trash the pos you are driving.

So, its a nigger car because its a Crown Vic on rims?

Would I fall into the same slot, being black, and driving a Crown Vic?

At least bigbangtheory was more respectful with his comment, which is fine, but thats his car, he is a grown *** man, and can do whatever he likes to it.

He came on here with a honest problem he was having and seeking advice, and you just took a dump on his thread, you name suits you well. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

i say the weld then deadening it will be the best way.anything else like JB Weld or adhesives will eventually put you back in the same situation

either weld it or go to a junk yard and get a new trunk lid for your car then paint match it to your color thats what i did for my truck when i lost my brakes... at least minus the paint matching for now
