*****soundproofing a Bugeye
Iv just fitted 2 x 12" Alpine type R Subs in the boot. Sounds awsome but the boot rattles.
Has anyone soundproofed their car??? If so can you please post some pics.
I would appreciate any advice on how & where to soundproof and what material to use (and where to purchase these)
thanks

Just out of interest how did you attach the subs to the boot floor as mine just slid about as the carpet came loose. In the end decided a false floor was the way to go but still havent got round to making one and my subs are still sitting in the living room!
Sorry for the hi-jack!
As for sound proofing I'd go for dynamat, is quite expensive though

Just in the process of finishing soundproofing my car, i used 6 rolls of Dynamat Extreme to do the boot, basically a roll either side, a roll in the boot lid and 3 rolls the boot floor ...ill post some pics when i get chance i loaned my camera out to someone atm.
I got it from http://www.caraudiodirect.com/ when they had a 3 for 2 offer on it was £25 a roll at that time, i believe the price is now £20 a roll and is still the cheapest i can find.

cool. let me know as soon as you get the pics up cos im well interested. How did you do the Boot lid? There are two layers to it arent there (the outside and inside layer/skin that has the bolts screwed in to the spoiler)? Seems a bit tricky.
And what else are you soundproofing asidr from the boot? The doors seem a mission. However if you think you have overdone it well then take a look at this!

As for holding down the subs well i just used some adhesive velcro. The dude at the Audio place that fitted em for me didnt velcro it. I didnt realise this so when i got back from work the subs were all over the place. lucky there was no damage!
