[QUOTE="2012ScionTC, post: 7828634, member: 642988"] I have heard so many cars in my area with sub systems that vibrate and rattle like mad. Typically I'll listen to it with the owner and he'll comment on how great it sounds but all I hear is VIBRATION RATTLES! I did a 100% sound deadening in my TC and have not ONE RATTLE in the car anywhere even when the system is at full volume. The sound is incredible, door speakers, bass, mid bass so much tighter. Every time I get into a car with subs that rattles I can't stand the rattling noise and it really ruins having a good sub system. Call me old school, but if your going to build a system with high power amps, speakers, and subs the first stage should be sound deadening. Not only do you make the system sound incredible but you'll also reduce road noise and insulate the car which makes the AC work better. I used .080 mil Stinger Road Kill Expert from amazon which is currently 99 dollars with free shipping for a bulk pack 36sq ft. (I used 3.5 bulk packs about 120 sq ft). My system is pretty loud with the doors closed nothing rattles outside the car and you can't even hear the system playing inside very much. But put your hand on the back glass and you can sure feel it. Take out everything but your dash board and sound deaden the entire car, if you want overkill like I did then also put an MLV sound barrier carpet padding in as well. You will be amazed. My cost doing everything myself was about $400 bucks, money WELL SPENT! I will warn you, it is not an easy job and very time consuming, check the pricing at your local car audio shop and inquire into the labor costs and you'll find it's typically about 1.5 x the cost of the material!
