Rear Deck Cover Up

[Eggroll]

Never realized how much pressure the rear deck is under. I thought the trunk was sealed off, but the deadener covering the old 6x9 holes in the rear deck ripped from the pressure.

Any ideas on how to cover these large holes?

Make a ring out of mdf to cover the hole the spray foam maybe?

U could deadener the whole back dash... I would get under there and fiberglass everything solid

ABS. Just like you seal a door

Whole deck is deadened, above and underneath, this^ was the result. I am thinking about fiberglass but at the same time I don't want to customize the vehicle too much.

What ABS do you recommend?

I'd use sheetmetal.

Sheet metal works also but ABS won't cut you open. Just get some thin stuff and Tesa double sided tape. Cut it out, tape it up, put a layer of deadener on it.

Yep! That's what I used to seal up the big holes in my inner door sheet metal to make it behave a little more than a speaker cabinet! Sheet metal stuck on with 1/16" foam tape then many little self tapping screws to make sure it stayed in place. Covered it with the BQuiet sound deadener I'd bought before I bought a bunch of Damplifier Pro!

scrap wood. Then bolt up them covers made from wood into those existing holes I see in the pic.
