hey guys, pretty much i just finished working on my car audio, have already powered all my speakers with amplifier (no sub). the only thing that disappoint me is there's rattles all over my interior plastic pieces, especially door trim and trunk area. how do i get rid of the rattling noises? will putting sound deadener such as dynamat helps?

in a word, yes.
a 4 foot by 2 foot peice of dynamat will run you about $40, but there are cheaper imitations out there. You will need to remove your door panels and put it around the speakers and in the trunk on the rear deck and trunk lid usually!
Try Elemental Designs. They'll sell you deadener by the square foot at a good price and it's good stuff. You can even choose the thickness of what you want for the job.
if you have no subs being powered, im assuming your using your amps for hi/mids correct? if thats the case, there shouldnt be any rattling from the speakers. sounds like you have loose pieces. if you are running some of the lows through those speakers, then yea, go with some sound deadener.
Definitely not trying to be a smart ass, but make sure all the fasteners/clips/screws etc are in good repair and tight. If any are missing, replace them.
Rattles are caused by vibrations in materials. If you add mass to the material, it will vibrate less and become less audible to the point where it will make no noise.
You can add mass to the back of your door panels using Dynamat or other sound deadener, or just rubber glue or something like it. To help with road noise, you CAN use the pink stuff home insulation. I've seen writeups on it.
You can also use that expanding foam but don't use it on flexible panels because I'd worry that they would distort when the foam expands and hardens. If you don't want the foam to stick to your panels, insert a plastic bag first and fill the plastic bag. Should be good!
