Considering that it may be a better idea for me to get myself a cheaper battery for now, hold myself over until I have a full build plan together, and just upgrade at that point.

I appreciate the info. Would you mind giving me a rundown of what benefits I would get from buying a specialized battery in this case?

Heyo, after over a year of nearly no driving due to the pandemic my car battery has reached a point where I need to replace it. At this point my entire sound system is stock however I do plan on doing an SQ Build in the future as I continue to research and learn. Considering my future plans...

I idea of fixing the signal coming out of my stock head unit sounds interesting. My immediate question would of course be how perfect are the corrections being applied by the JL Fix? Are we talking about a true lossless restoration or would there likely still be some amount of unfixable damage...

While i'd be willing to remove/replace anything necessary in my factory head unit i'd need to find out whether I'd be able to fully disable all of its sound handling. Removing the factory amp would be just a small part of the modifications i'd have to make would it not?

I know this isn't really relevant but hilariously enough I find the factory (base model) speakers in my golf to be very decent. Not sure if its due to the fact that its already a component setup with a tweeter and mid/sub on each door. More than enough volume, no audible distortion to my ear...

Heh funny enough I prefer my 5spd golf to my friends dsg gti aswell. Can't stand that "gated" accelerator pedal. Mind detailing out what specifically you mean by integrate? I'm not necessarily concerned with cost/effort as long as its within reason, i'd do what it takes to keep my stock head...

Heyo, got a question. Heads up i'm very new, just started learning. From the basics i've learned so far, it seems that a cars factory head unit is quickly replaced for a superior unit on all but the most basic builds. Is it possible to do a proper SQ/SQL build without replacing the factory...

@SkizeR One question regarding what you've written about 25%-35% coverage being budget optimal. When applying cld to the roof of a vehicle would you say 100% coverage is still important for those interested in heat insulation? Not that I actually know how effective cld is for thermal insulation...

Hello, i'm looking to get some mat material to replace my original cotton jute under carpet. Planning on getting this product from car builders: https://www.carbuilders.com.au/acoustic-liner-carpet-underlay-stage-2 The amount I need after shipping comes to $135 Just wanted to know if anyone...

Interesting Stuff. Definitely looks like the thinner gtmat products are terrible. I look forward to more testing like this for the cheaper stuff that exists today. Noico, Kilmat, CarBuilders, ect.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll read up on this stuff. If you guys have more generalized information you can also provide the more the better. I need to replace the recycled cotton flooring material in my car as its collected water and mold. Any info regarding sound blankets, mass loaded...

Hello, I'll keep this post simple. Despite trying to research this on my own I still have no idea what the differences are between cheap and expensive brands of butyl style sound deadening. All that i've read so far is marketing hearsay about dynamat being either way better or just as...
