Thanks. I'm lucky to have a good group of competitors in the midwest. you should come to an Indiana event some time.

Cool. I should, it would be great to demo some competitive sq builds!

How's the trunk glassing project going? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif No rush, just curious!

two months pass and all i've done is drive the car and enjoy the music.

...almost

i have tuned the car some more, and i use two laptops to do it

dash looks the same

i may rebuild these in the near future for better aiming and less diffraction

I could not get the rear tires to last more than 30k miles without being terribly noisy. 3 deg of negative camber on one side was the issue, and it's not adjustable. so i replaced the three rear link arms with adjustable arms and replaced the tires.

I also made a video comparing acoustical treatments for your viewing pleasure

hey I can't seem to find the ceiling tile you used in there doors anywhere. at least not without buying a while box of them for about $150. is there an alternative to the ceiling tiles that can be sourced locally? thanks for the great build log

This would work well, smaller pieces are easier to fit. Fiberglass is inert and not prone to mold if it gets wet.

sweet thanks for the quick reply. this would still need to be wrapped in plastic correct? even though its Inert. should i try to compress it before installing it?

I recommend 1 mil plastic. Don't bother compressing because it won't stay. Aluminum foil tape holds it in place and can protect from moving parts.

Thanks agin for the reply . There doesn't seem to be much info out there about sound absorbsion at least not related to car audio. I have two vehicle I'm working on at the moment . I think I'm going to try some (Roxul safe n sound)in one and the fiber glass in the other and see if I can tell the difference. I found this site has some good info. I'm sure you have forgotten morgen then I will ever know about this topic but thought I would share
