Thanks for all the replies! It's too bad about the peel n seal, hopefully it will be ok throughout the winter. I may get some "good stuff" and do my whole car some spring time. I unfortunately don't have the time or money right now =/ I traced the noise issue to my HU (thanks for the tip...

I noticed my subwoofer was only working when I set the balance all the way left or right, so did some troubleshooting and found that my noise isolator was causing it Amazon.com: Stinger SGN20 Ground Loop Isolator: Car Electronics I have the isolator unplugged and the sub is working, but now...

I've finished matting my doors and installed my components. I used Peel n Seal from Lowes and heated it while installing. I also went back and added more deadening to the outside skin, up to about 70% coverage. So far so good, but time will tell if it holds up. I made a baffle out of 3/4 mdf...

I'm done for the day, finished one door. I matted both the inside and outside skin but didn't get the outside nearly as well as the inside. The inside is covered with mat, there's hardly any bare metal, but for the outside I only ran some large pieces across, not really paying much attention to...

Thanks for all the replies! I ran some wire from my amp to each door and it's already sounding A LOT better. I'm amazed at the difference! I am also going to be deadening the doors today or tomorrow. I've decided to do both the inside and outside skin. I also don't have them "sealed" against...

Hey everyone! I've got a 2001 honda civic 2 door with 1x Pioneer DEHP4700MP head unit 2x front 6.5" $50 pioneer speakers from 05' 2x rear JBL GTO938 6 x 9 new 1x Kenwood Kac-8405 amp new I've got it hooked up with knukonceptz 4ga cable and have done 2 out of the big 3 (haven't done...

Replaced the amp with a Kenwood Kac-8405 and the noise is completely gone! Thanks for the help and suggestions =)

The internal resistance of the DMM is .2, so with that it brings it down to .9

I ran a 4 gauge cable from my amp ground point to the negative terminal on the battery and it's giving me 1.1ohm. That's high right, could it be the culprit? I have it grounded to the metal of my trunk. I drilled a hole, sanded the area, and put a screw in. I thought I did everything right =/

Tried grounding the rcas, no luck =(

Ok I unplugged the rcas at the head unit and left them in the amp, no noise there either so I don't think it's my rca cable run. It must be something with the head unit or ground. I don't really know how to do this but am going to make a few searches and try it out

I turned everything off then unplugged the rcas from the amp. then turned everything back on. My head unit is an older Pioneer model DEHP4700 thanks! also, my rca cables are running on an opposite side from the power

I'd love to amp the front speakers but I only have a 4 way amp and want to use a sub =/

Hi everyone, I just finished installing my new system, but I hear a terrible click like sound from my rear speakers + sub when the engine is on. With the engine off I still get some slight distortion (especially when in cd mode), but it's not much. If I unplug the rca cables from the amp and...

Ok, but I'll have to use a "front" output then. Should I connect that to the sub and the "rear" to my rear speakers? And just for curiosity sake, would using a splitter cause any performance loss? thanks a lot for the fast reply =)
