people, just a couple of questions
1) what is the purpose of wadding?
2) or is putting dynamat in the box better? (want to get a real punchy sound from my 10" JBL sub, not a drone)
3) how the hell do i stop my mk3 golf hatch from rattling? ive already placed 2 layers of dynamat in there and it still rattles outside like mad, worked a treat on the doors though - what elese can i do to make it stop?
any advice appreciated.

The main part that rattles is the boot latch. You cant really stop it rattling unless you remove it, and then you'd have to find a way of securing the tailgate.
Try removing everything from inside the boot lid (wiper motor, washer tubing, solenoids etc) and filling the boot lid with expanding foam, it won't stop the latch rattling but the tailgate wont have any flex in it. Don't put too much in there though as it will push out the boot lid when it expands!

Dynamat will do the trick too. The More you use the better the effect. You could probably cover the boot easily with 1 wedge pack. I'd recommend the Extreme stuff as it's a lot better and easier to work with. Make sure you clean the boot with turps.
It'll also make it shut like a new cars too :D
