I understand now. There's no point for example to proof my doors to where there only 55db if my floors are still allowing 75db of noise through. The bottom carpet along with my seats are easy to remove so I'll just order more mass loaded materials and do everything (4 doors + floors + wheel...

Now i'm even more confused Enthausist rant about how people use CLD/CCF for the wrong reason and that it won't really reduce or block sound. They say "if you actually want to block sound you need something like MLV" Now the enthuasist are basically saying "MLV is essentially pointless, very...

Yeah I actually read the guide earlier, it was confusing because no mention of MLV. The inside portion of the door they used butyl and the outter portion butyl + CCF and that was it, no sound blocking The guide said soundblocking was pointless unless you do the entire car but I'm not buying...

Any suggestions ? I've looked at multiple guides and everyone does it different. Some only do butyl deadener on the inside and then the outer portion is CCF/MLV. Have also seen where all 3 layers go on top of each other on just the inner portion and the outter portion either butyl deadener or...

Plan on deadening all 4 doors along with the trunk. For the inner portion of the door I plan on doing 3 layers (Butyl deadener, CCF, and MLV) but what about the outer portion of the door ? I've seen people cover the large exterior hole (which is normally covered with the clear water proof...

I like how use courtesy and comprehension, contact him directly equals "ya'll are some weirdos I do what I want". Quite the characters on this site :whistle:

Thanks for the write up. I called my installer and he said you where exactly right. Also DSPs have come way down in price so it's something I can target now for sure. When I inquired in 2014 not alot of installers did it and the models where very pricey. That quote was clearly quoted/direct at...

Thanks for the write up. I will ask my installer about going active. Will also ask if we do go passive then get higher sensivity, I know hertz is a good brand if you like higher sensitivy. Going to treat the doors better on this new build which should help some. Last build just did a half ***...

For my last car I used sound deadener but did not use any sound blocking like MLV or acoustic foam to block outside noise. For the new build I plan on both deadening and blocking the front 2 doors along with the trunk. Going to do a strong 12 inch sub ported with electrical upgrades. Probably...

The previous 2 speaker sets where for a 2005 Civic but the new build is for a low mileage 2012 Corolla For the JBL set I was using a PPI 900.4 (145RMS per channel). When I replaced those with the Ground zero set I switched to a 2 channel Soundqubed amp that was 220 RMS each channel

I have in the past tried to do a nicer set of 6.5 inch speakers in the front door while ignoring rear fill. Didn't really work out, wasn't enough output and I always would get to the point to where I was maxing the drivers out. Front speakers I used in my last build was JBL MS-62C (which I...

Any other opinions on this ? It was my understanding that AGM is good for when you have to pull straight battery but should I technically be fine since my alternator will produce more power than what I plan on pulling ?

Thanks for the replies. Someone in another forum also mentioned the Adire Audio Brahma Anybody know anything about this subwoofer ? They said it was a popular sub about 15 years ago for good output with amazing SQ but the company went out of business. Also was told it was popular enough sound...

Looking at a mechman, singer, or DC alternator for my car. Planning audio system later this year. It will be a daily setup so not going crazy on the wattage. My last setup I did Singer alt and replaced the battery with an AGM. I just replaced my stock battery a few months ago with a non AGM...

I was never able to get my hands on a JBL WGTI subwoofer before they where discontinued. Seemed like a perfect subwoofer. Solid SQ, good output, and didn't take tons of power to get moving. Very efficient subwoofer What is the 2020 equivalent ? I've been told Audiofrog GB series is a close...
