I like them they sound good, nice mids to them, one of my good friends has the 07's in his ride too bad they just got smoked (bad zapco amp made us all mad)

I dont see anything woth laying the dyna over really maybe a few spots. I will be foaming it cut down on panel vibration and maybe wraping the ac ducts too to keep it cold/hot idk yet.

Oh I didnt mean to come off rude my bad man. Hey that means you can always learn something new and exciting.

I just read that haha! Sure looks that way dosent it?

 

damn that sux is he going to get em again or ??

 

Hes looking at some image dynamics, dynaudio, maybe even some zapco midbass drivers. He is checking out some options since it just happened yesterday we are just tossing ideas around.

 

cool

 

Got some more stuff done today even though the weather was crapy


Finished dynamating my floor





Started working on laying down the spectrum sludge. I got all the trunk done and some of the rear seat




Hopefully if the weather clears up tomorrow more of my deadener will be here

 

Wow......i can remember when my car looked like that with no interior....lol.......i need to make one suggestion to you however.......this might not be something you want to do but it makes a HUGE difference and im glad i did it.........Go buy a bag of house insulation, the white sound deadening ****....its different than the pink stuff and is a lot more dense.......and start stuffing holes....i mean every nook and cranny you can find in that car.....i know in the coupe there is a lot of space between the inner panels and the outer panels and that needs to be stuffed with insulation.....not sure about the sedan though....i have it packed in my car all over the place and it made such a drastic improvement you wouldnt believe it......any questions feel free to pm me man.......good job so far though.....very good job

 

link to said insulation? any chance its waterproof?

 

Go to home depot, i think its the same stuff they put in ceilings and **** because it has a lower profile but its more dense.

out of curiosity, how much do you think all of that weighs? and does it help with road noise, as well as increasing the sound quality of your system?

 

better yet what does the car weight without all that ****/interior stuff in there

 

well, thats not so much of a mystery. the TA car, with nearly everything removed was down to about 2300 i believe.

the wiring they removed weighed like 25lbs alone.

 

Any kind of sound deading will help with road noise and when u use it every where like he is it will be a night and day diffrence. I have done a few cars like this and once done it helps keep the warm air in in the winter time as well as the cool air in the summer. Its just like insulating your house.good job man looks nice

 

Dude thats awesome, it looks amazing, but really how much weight did that add to your whip, not that it makes too much a difference but in a coupe where performance is focus thats gotta be quiete some weight addition no?

 

Thanks Guys!!

I don’t know exactly right now how much weight I’m adding, lol. I know when it’s all said and done I’m guessing around 150lbs or so... my sub itself is 52lbs.

My good friend did the pink stuff in his car it helped.
I’m going a lil different rough I actually ordered 150+ sqft of closed cell foam that works as an insulator and sound barrier. I’m putting that over EVERYTHING over my entire empty car first, then all the open holes, then on all my panels that I took off.

 

lol thats amazing, lot of weight though. Keep us posted I wanna see the progress on this, nothing I love more than working on sound systems, never done anything this extensive thgough.
once again, awesome job man

 

damn that looks good! looking to do somehting like that in the summer when its not - 15 in my garage... i know about dynamat ... but what is that sludge? what does it do? and when u get that insulation up... def put up some pics... wondering where about your gonna put it on the doors and floor...

but looks great!

 

ehh, i wouldnt be worried about the weight. OP guessed around 150lbs. soo thats the same as driving with an extra passenger. not that big of a deal.

 

its from a company called Second Skin Audio they have lots of great products. This stuff looks like peanutbutter when its not dry its just another form of sound deadener. Go to their sight and check them out.

Im still not ready for my doors or floor yet we are still designing the door pods for my mids and tweets.


My roomate just called me and said that my foam just came in so now i can start that too!



Im not too worried about weight. Its a cobalt im not trying to go fast at all pluss I drive like a grandma (thats what my friends tell me.)

Even with all this extra weight im still gonna be getting 26MPG

 

You can get it at any home depot store or home improvement place(not sure what there is in the states)......and no its not waterproof.....just very dense and very good for sound deadening......any monkey at the store will know what you need if you ask for sound deadening interior insulation......Later

 

hmm maybe ill check it out i dont know my cars pretty quiet as is but if its pretty cheap

 

^^^ It could always be quieter... hell go with 1" plexiglass windows and concrete now thats quiet!

 

damn that is alot of work how much did u spend on all that dynamat?

 

wow badass. with those first pictures you posted. and the list of whats going in there. you're going to have a clean ass setup with more than likely the best SQ in 90% of the cars out on the road today.

badass man, badass

 

**** that i want to drive the car too... lol but honestly i think im very much at the point that anything else is just nit picky stuff and ive spent so much cash in this car i need to stop

 

but u love to car to much to stop so haha its a great hobby to have to work on ur cars and an even better to see the finished product when there really is nothing elso to do lol

 

i do but its getting time to take care of business and grow up a lil bit... i need to win the lottery to finish my addiction
