I have been really lucky with my GTI. The only thing that rattles is the heat shield above the gas tank and my visors up front a bit. It's amazing what happens when you by a german vehicle over a japanese one. :p:

my acura doesn't rattle at all
sound deadening!! - FreeRideFrosty - 04-02-2006
What does it have that would make it rattle though??
The GTI has the 2 W3's in it right now and will probably have a W7 or Alpine Type X within the month...

I have a camaro.. everyhitng rattles, squeaks, creaks, and makes noise. On my old V6 I went crazy with sound deadening. Doors, tailgate, floor.. all over the place and that car was very quiet. My Z28 now though I've not done anyhitng to quiet it down and I don't think I will!

two 10 in w3s with a 500 watt jl amp two jl 6/9s two 5 in jls in the door and two tweets up front, powered by a Pioneer AVH-P6400CD

Very nice... I have the 8 stock monsoon speakers with the 2 W3's powered by an MA-Audio 1200 watt amp. (Tuned waaay down LoL) I couldn't see rewiring the entire sound system to use another amp or speakers when these are crystal clear. I could really benefit from a new head unit though. If I do that I will probably rewire new speakers (Since the monsoon's are amped, and then individually amped) with my phoenix gold amp. (One of the amazing, slightly older, 4 channel, 300 watt amp. I love it...

i would love to get some 13in w7s but i caught this rc desease it keeps draining my bank account lol plus i got a little one on the way so i really have no need for them
sound deadening!! - FreeRideFrosty - 04-02-2006
I think I am getting a 10W7 It whould be more than enough for the little hatchback...
sound deadening!! - JOE - 04-02-2006
what kinda box you putting it in?
sound deadening!! - FreeRideFrosty - 04-02-2006
It will be sealed. Since it is more of an SPL sub and I am a fan of clear sound I figured putting it in a nice sealed box will give me the best of both worlds. I think it will still be plenty loud enough at that. If for some reason I don't like that then I will make a nice tuned ported box... I will probably use baltic birch. (If I have the $$$. If not... MDF it is.)
sound deadening!! - JOE - 04-02-2006
ya i like the seal boxes better myself i had a pair of kenwood 10s in a bandpass box they thumped pretty well
sound deadening!! - FreeRideFrosty - 04-02-2006
Indeed. I am working on a deal with the W7 right now. If that doesn't go through I am going to look into an Alpine type X or a pair of W6's.
sound deadening!! - JOE - 04-02-2006
alpines are great, but pricey there head units arent what they used to be though.
sound deadening!! - FreeRideFrosty - 04-02-2006
IMO for what yo uget they are a far better deal than JL. The type R is a fairly cheap sub and is just about on the same level as the W3... the Type X is right up there in between the W6 and W7 but when purchased new is a couple hundred cheaper. I LOVE my JL's and would like to never run anything else but them. Hopefully my wallet allows.
sound deadening!! - JOE - 04-02-2006
my friend ran a single alpine 10 i forget what model in his camaro and it sounded pretty good but he was running a big cap and all kinds of stuff.
sound deadening!! - FreeRideFrosty - 04-02-2006
That reminds me... I need a capacitor. Dimming lights bug me...

Nice Rusty, I am a DIY guy some of the time. More and more as I get older.+
The only thing that rattles in my VW is the front visors. If you flip them down they stop rattling.
sound deadening!! - FreeRideFrosty - 04-02-2006
I noticed that. LoL What is on your Jetta Gabe?? (Have use for 2 W3's?? LoL)
sound deadening!! - rusty savage - 04-02-2006
tex your ride is pretty sweet with that trunk crammed!! Is it stock sound deadening or did you lone it with some thing?
sound deadening!! - Tex - 04-02-2006
all stock deadening for me.... I have (4) punch 10's (the cheap ones) with a single punch 200 mono 1-channel amp. YES very underpowered but it works ok for me.
