[QUOTE="tommymilan311, post: 8482645, member: 664761"] Hi all. So recently I've come into a bit of money (taxes) and had some left over to do what it takes to overhaul my cars road noise and vibrations issues, while also upgrading my subs amp that can properly power them and adding a DSP. You can see what I'm currently running in the sig and equipment may change once the environment is settled. Here are the tasks: [LIST] [*]Overhaul power with 1/0 cables [*]Add a Processor (JBL MS8) [*]Upgrade my sups amp from a Alpine MRX-M110 to a FSD Audio 2600 [*]Sound Deaden and Insulate all my doors [*]Sound Deaden and insulate my floor and behind the dash [*]Sound Deaden and insulate my roof [*]Sound Deaden and insulate my trunk [/LIST] Additionally I may rerun the wires to all my speakers for a cleaner look and I will be adding loom to everything. So here is a list of the material I have purchased so far: [LIST] [*][URL="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001HHP59G?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00"]2X Stinger Roadkill Sound Deadener[/URL] [*][URL="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004YWC4FY?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00"]KCA 1/0 Amp Kit with 250A fuse[/URL] [*][URL="http://www.homedepot.com/p/UltraTouch-48-in-x-24-ft-Radiant-Barrier-30000-11424/100661257"]48" X 24' Radiant Barrier (insulation for the roof, floor, and behind the dash)[/URL] [*][URL="http://www.homedepot.com/p/4-ft-x-8-ft-Acoustical-Barrier-DB348X96BX/100663624"]6X 4' X 8' Acoustical Barrier (MLV)[/URL] [*][URL="http://www.raamaudio.com/ensolite-iuo-peel-and-stick-14-sq-ft-per-running-yard-3-per-pack-of-bxt-ii-recommended-absolutely-the-best-foam-on-the-market/"]4X Ensolite Peel and Stick[/URL] [*][URL="http://www.menards.com/main/home-decor/ceilings/ceilings-for-the-home/armstrong-24-x-48-pebble-fiberglass-square-drop-ceiling-tile/p-1444424283560-c-7944.htm?tid=867836187499567859"]5X Fiberglass Ceiling tile with the cover pulled off (sound absorption)[/URL] [/LIST] And some other little things sprinkled in like various sizes of loom, wire, heat shrink, and lugs/connectors.
