Default What is the best sd material to get rid of rattling?

My doors and rear deck vibrate, what sound dampening material is the best to stop this? I'm looking at Dynamat, but will it work? I don't care about road noise, I just want to make it stop rattling and vibrating when I turn up the volume control. Approximately how many sq. feet do I need to cover 2 doors and the rear deck?

Dynamat will help a little. Generally rattles have to be hunted down to the source and taken car of there. If you dynamat the door and it turns out that the latch is what is rattling then it will still rattle. Rear deck would probably help.

So even if I cover all the rattling parts, it will still rattle, but only a little less?

Dynomat extreme it will stick to dirt. Best stuf to use and you can layer it if needed.

Dynamat has a lot of stuff for the car, link http://www.dynamat.com , you can't dynamat down moveing parts,[lock linkage] but a HD rubber band can do wonders for rattles
also that colored vacuum hose you can get for your car is also a good rattle killer

Now this is the shitty part , if you spend a day getting rid of all the rattles, in a week you will have new ones. 94

I tried to figure out what exactly causes the rattling on the rear deck, and found a small "black box" mounted to the bottom of the deck. That little sucker is what causes most of my rattling in the back...so I will simply relocate it later on. Also, I tried to hold tightly with my hands the magnet of my speaker and rattling went down a bit. I figure this is the actual "rear deck" rattling? Or is it simply "speaker" rattling? I'm not too sure about it and if dynamat will help stop this kind of rattling.

check out gsport. I'm not sure what their website is. But, they have dampening spray and 3 different kinds of sound dampening pads.
