I have a 1995 audi A4 steel back seats and parcel shelf. I am currently running 4 uprated internal speakers fitted to the standard fit slots in place of the original speakers, all running from a mutant amp. I am also running a 1200w sony xplod sub with a 300w amp turned to maximum gain and also a 300w fusion sub running froma 250w amp on max gain! as you can see i have a ix matched system but to be fair it does sound awsome inside the car!!! The problem i have is that the boot of the car vibrates really bad and sound awful! i have removed the very back carpeted panel from the lift up section of the boot ( behind the number plate ) and padded it all out with fire resistant foam but this does not seem to have made that much of a difference! i am planing to cut a couple of holes in the steel parcel shelf to alow extra air movement and to increase the volume in the car further and am also hoping this will stop some of the vibration any other cheap ideas would be greatly appreciated though!

the best way i would say first turn you gain down at least a quarter before you f..k your subs trust me ,got the t:shirt and that. second go to a local d.i.y shop and buy some sticky flash band normally for roof,s .this will stiffen using hot air gun in side of metal panel this should be your cheapest answer ,its done mine fine im running 2000 rms amp on 2 12"jbl not to mention mid and that. try all i can say good luck merry xmasit cost about £25 tops

best way to fix the rattling in the boot is to buy sound dampening product from auto stores. There's lot of different brand out there. some example are Dynamat, E Dead, Fatmat and Stingers Roadkill. I have Fatmat that i purchased from ebay for $100 and thats 100sq feet which will be enought to cover the entire boots with leftover for the interior. The more layer you apply the less vibration you'll get as this product add weight to the panel to reduce the vibration.

1. Turn it down! -Or at least adjust the gains
2.Seal the boot so it doesn't rattle, a nice glue or sealant should do the trick
3.(How much do you like your car? hehe) You could weld the boot shut and remover any bits you don't need and fill the gaps with foam.
All of these options are cheap and if you do either of the last 2, it will be even more personalised - How many car do you know that have the boot sealed shut? lol Plus an A4 is quite big so stick any junk on yhe back seat and you get around not having a boot!
Stupid question - Stupid answer

If you are getting this problem, you are playing it too loud and will damage your ears. I speak from experience. I used to be a DJ in a club and now have severe tinitus caused by Audio Trauma (loud noises) and have worn hearing aids in both ears since the age of 50. The sound system you have in your car is more powerfull than the one I had in the club. A good test is to turn on your system close all windows and doors. If you can hear it outside of the car, it is too loud and you will damage your hearing.

I had the same problem. I looked into Dynomat but it costs more than I wanted to invest. I went to Walmart and bought shelf liner. It king of looks like mesh and feels like rubber. It costs around $1.00 per roll. It works pretty well.

"I am also running a 1200w sony xplod sub with a 300w amp turned to maximum gain and also a 300w fusion sub running froma 250w amp on max gain!"
Just to warn you, you may be putting your subs at risk of clipping with the gains maxed. Clipping will destroy subs.
The purpose of the gain control is to match the amp with the RMS Volts of the deck to prevent clipping and other types of distortion.
The idea is to have the RMS watts of both sub(s) and amp(s) match as well as the required impedances(ohms).
