I am getting ready to pull the trigger on a 2010 Accord coupe. One of the most important things to me in my vehicles is the sound system. I plan to install a high powered SQ system right off the bat in my new car. I have read many complaints here on this board about how bad Hondas rattle and squeak just driving down the road let alone with a decent system on board. This concerns me. Squeaks and rattle drive me nuts!
Yesterday I stopped by a local car audio shop to check out some potential equipment for the new install. The sales guy offered to have me take a listen to his set up in his Mustang. The subs and amp he's running are pretty much what I will have in the new car. We got in and he started playing some music to highlight the subs. All I could say is that sounds like crap! All I could hear was the trunk rattling when the bass would hit. I mean it really sounded horrible. I think he was surprised when I said it but c'mon, why spend all that money and have it sound that bad? He did not have any sound deadening on the trunk lid and it had a spoiler on the back as well.
My question is can the Accord be deadened in a way that one can eliminate the rattles and buzzes caused by a pair of twelves in the trunk? Man I hope so because what I heard in the Stang was totally unacceptable to me. Of course I plan to use a Dynamat like product on my install. I just want to make sure it will be worth the time and investment. IOW once deadened will the rattles be gone? My current vehicle, an '07 Tundra DC, has no rattles at all. Of course that's with the subs in the cabin with me.
