Thats another thing I was curious about... what materials do I need to be concerned about melting? I live in the San Fernando valley, where outside temperatures can hit 110 pretty easily during summer (leading to some ridiculously hot in-car temps). Also, do you have an opinion on the...

So should I ditch the sheet metal altogether (maybe replacing it with wood or another material)? Or will stiffening the box, insulating the contact between the box and sheet metal (and the top of the sheet metal itself, with special attentio nto where it mounts to the car) be enough? Do you...

No one?

(cliffnote version at bottom) Okay, so I've spent all day reading sounddeadenershowdown.com (and browsing it, second skin, and fatmat to compare prices). I was initially going to get just a roll of Fat Mat and call it a day, but after my research it seems that the Fat Mat is a so-called...

These are some immediately post-paint pics (hosted by a girl I've never met 7 years ago... I'm amazed they're still up heh): http://www.angelfire.com/games2/alicia/sbt/index.html Apparently I don't have any recent pictures with the current wheel/tire setup (got some from 2 years ago when i...

Rubberized undercoating.. that a spray or another layer of stuff? How many layers of various insulation does that come to? 3 or 4? Also... how'd you do your sub box (if you did one)? Sounds like a pretty well done project My mustangs nothing too special... signal flare red with TTIIs...

I assure everyone I will properly 'respect' my car... I've restored it and built it since I was 16 (owned it almost 10 years now) and have dumped piles of money, time and effort into it. No need to tell me I'm not 'respecting' my Mustang... it lives a pretty cushy life I was exploring the...

Where could I find this closed cell foam? Thanks for all the help (everyone)

I am installing a system that used to be in my old Cadillac into my 66' Mustang. There are several hurdles with the project but the one I'm currently concerned with is sound deadening. I was told to look into Dynamat, and its pretty expensive and I gotta think there's some sort of household...

Do you know where I coudl get one inexpensively? Are there any power ratings or specifications the piece should meet so that its reliable and safe? Thanks.

When I had my head unit installed, the installer set up a USB cable that runs to my glovebox. He said that if I were so inclined, I coudl connect a hard drive there. I think i want to pursue that, but I'm curious on how everyone would recommend powering it? I was thinking of finding an...

anyone?

I just got a Pioneer DEH-4000UB head unit last month. It works great, except I noticed on the first mp3 cd I burned for it, it only played until track 89 (there were ~130 tracks on the cd). Just now, I burned a second cd. I got rid of the song that was #90 on the previous cd and changed a few...

Just to give everyone an update... I ended up with: Pioneer DEH4000UB head unit Infinity 5 1/4" front speakers (forget part #, but 50 W RMS) Pioneer 6x9s (same, again 60 W RMS though... couldn't quite pull the REV series) Kicker CVR 12" sub Hiphonics Zeus 300 W RMS amp for sub Kenwood 60...

I just put a sub in my trunk. I plan to create a cheap pass through (2 actually), but essentially cutting two holes in the rear deck (where the 6x9s are mounted under the rear window) and then 'framing them' with some sort of plastic piece so that the holes look good. Each of them can only be...
