Well, even after all this work I have done to it, I am going to be selling it in about 3 months. I'm moving to CT, and this won't be coming with me... Its all yours if you want to buy it off me lol

OK, the results! The new sound readings are in bold. However, it is really important to know that it started raining while taking these tests. I will comment more on that in a bit. 00mph: 47-48 decreased to 44-45 dB at cold idle, so a 3 dB improvement 35mph: 68-70 decreased to 67-68 dB on...

Back from the dead! I have been SUPER swamped at school, so I have not had time to get any final readings on the sound. However, I will be doing that tonight with hopes of FINALLY getting closure on this thread haha. Will post up the results tonight.

Man, I just can't catch a break! lol I was going to go measure the sound levels but it has been snowing most of the day. I don't think driving on snow will give an accurate sound measurement. To be continued...

Well, this week has been a lot busier than I wanted and I have not gotten around to taking any measurements yet. I will do that tomorrow for sure. I will post on here again afterwards with the results. BTW, I have stock tire size, stock exhaust, stock suspension, etc. My car has always been...

Ok, I finally got it finished up! I took it for a quick test drive and I am a bit disappointed... I can tell its quieter, but not as much as I would have liked. I think I might take out the deadening this weekend and add some more CLD tiles to the doors and floor. Do you guys think that might...

Got the floor boards done with the 1/4 stuff. Had to do a lot more trimming on the rear panels than I would have liked. O well. Broke a few of my dremel cutting disks lol Working on the rear deck. This is pretty tricky because there are a lot of really tight areas between the metal...

Ok, here is something that really supports the idea that only 25% of sheet metal needs to be covered. Here I am pointing to a piece of sheet metal that always annoyed me. When a large drop of water, or even just rain in general hit this, it would resonate like crazy! Drove me nuts. Anyway, I...

Moving onto the rear deck of the cabin. This seems kinda daunting, but I am going to give it my best shot anyway. Here is the passenger side lower trim piece. Unfortunately it needs some trimming to allow for "easy" use of the MLV. Trimmed! Driver side lower trim piece. Trim piece...

Ok, I worked all yesterday and did not get nearly as far as I wanted... I guess that always happens with these types of things. Anyway, I will let the pics tell the rest of the story. Here are the speaker covers I mentioned earlier. They seem pretty thick, which worries me. Who knows, I am...

I got mine from here for $5.08 per linear foot (4.5 square feet) shipping was around $36 for 50 square feet.

OK, now that the new years celebrations are over, time to get back to work! Question: I have just recently been offered a large roll of 1/4 inch MLV for free! I looked at it, and its probably 60 square feet or so. I am curious if it is worth trying to use this. Would it provide much of an...

lol, thanks. I always really appreciate it when others post up something helpful, so when I get a project going, I like to help if I can. However, I'm not going to claim that I know much... I do build loudspeaker enclosures as a hobby, so I am familiar with some of the basics but that's about...

Ok cool. I will eventually go with a component setup so I'm not too concerned with the high end ATM. I will send you a PM just after I post this! Thanks again!

Ok, quick question: how much does the stock speaker cover affect the sound quality? I searched, but most other threads were talking about studio monitors and mesh speaker covers. The stock ones I have are pretty solid that have a lot of plastic in them. Thanks in advance
