Cleaning Up the Sound in a Mobile Home Theater System |

ACOUSTIC NON-BACKED TRUNK LINING (HEATHER)
There is no comparison between the power of the home theater system sitting in my living room compared to my car’s setup but the small coupe design does make for a better soundstage. Two door cars are really the best acoustic design for ultra crisp music. The humped aluminum roof, proximity of door and rear speakers and nearby trunk sub creates the perfect stew of musical magic. Apart from my Garmin GPS, the upgraded audio setup in my car has been the best mobile investment I ever made online.
Just recently, I got a small 10 inch sub with amp from a buddy who just sold his car. Instead of trying to sell this equipment in the classifieds, he cut me a great deal and saved the legwork. With this bass heavy addition, I have really created a moving home theater system. The thing I have been careful to watch for after adding the sub is trunk rattle.
Each one of us has experienced trunk rattle from the outside before. It is loud, annoying and really a classless thing to do in public areas. Last time I was a victim of trunk rattle occurred in a higher end shopping center in the Pacific Northwest. I was sitting outside on this Sunday morning in front of a coffee shop as my dad bought some breakfast. Everyone around was either a family or older person. The birds were chirping, everyone was softly chatting amongst themselves on this beautiful day until the rumble of a moving home theater system caught everyone’s attention.
I was sitting on the corner next to a four way stop sign in the parking lot. The beat up car, windows down was pumping hardcore, offensive rap lyrics through the window, which was bad enough. To make matters worse his trunk was rattling harder then a 1939 prop plane. I never want this to be me. It must have been fate because while I was looking for a Canon digital camera battery online within Love’s Electronics at http://www.loveselectronics.com/, I saw the ACOUSTIC NON-BACKED TRUNK LINING (HEATHER) pictured above. It is basically a sound dampening mat that easily lines a trunk so the bass stays in the car instead of outside for all to here. This little upgrade comes at an exceptionally low price and will be the final touch to my rolling home theater system. Along with the trunk lining, I saw a cool upgraded version of my Garmin GPS at Love’s Electronics.
