Good work. Insulating the car really helps. I did mine over the Winter and am really happy with the result.

We've made a few adjustments and have gotten the external noise way down, but yes, with that kind of power in the trunk it's almost impossible to keep it quiet. It's just pushing way too much air inside the car and it's got no where to go.

And while I agree that NOTHING sounds worse then a car rattling down the road, I'm inside, driving, and can't hear a thing

Well, the first thing we did was put a brand new weatherstripping on. Just the fact that it's so "plump" really helped with the seal/vibration.

Try a second layer of Dynamat on the decklid, too. In the pics I only have one, but we put another on over that.
