Jesse I don't have any deadener to sell, maybe a bit to spare if you have specific small spots. We will see about metering asap

I'll go ahead and pick up some roadkill then. I get off work on weekends at 4 and mondays off.

The parking lot is usually packed on weekends. I've never been inside but I'd imagine they must serve cheap beer or something to keep a crowd like they do.

XS has been ordered. Should be here Thursday, though I won't be able to install it until my ring terminals come in.

Where did you end up grounding the amp?

Where did you end up grounding the amp?

It's grounded right next to one of the seatbelts where the floor is reinforced with some extra metal. I tested voltage at the amp and at the battery to compare and it's fine. If the ground location causes issues in the future I'll just do a ground run straight to the back.

Thanks. The seatbelts in the front or the back?

If it's not too much trouble, could you take a picture?

It's one of the rear seatbelts. It's a 3 row vehicle so there's several spots that work. I can't really take a pic without ripping up my carpet. Basically all you need to do is find a spot on your floor that's well reinforced, something near the edge of the vehicle where panels are coming together.

Short & shitty vid. I can't play it for very long without the XS in there, I'll take another one once that's installed. It also looks like I'll be borrowing CRXBMPN's termlab for the weekend, so I'll be sure and get some numbers up for you guys to see.

Need some tint, don't want anyone stealing your amp or subs. Looks good.

Yeah for sure. Thinking 35% on the fronts and 5% everywhere else. Might see about getting some next week.

Niiiiice! The windshield wiper may fall below the window like mine slapping against the paint just like the metal piece supporting the gas door like in mine.. All normal conditions I know but a broken gas tank door *****.

Deadening question: if I'm bracing the roof with ply and foam, is it worth it to deaden the roof as well, or am I just wasting deadener?

you can leave it off. Its solid and doesnt make any resonances afterwards. Use it somewhere else you cant brace.
