Out of all seriousness could you use duct tape like sound deadening and line the doors with it ect. if you cant afford sound deadending? hahaa

It would probably cost more in the long run to duct tape everything than to use proper deadening, and I don't think it'll do you any good.

i didnt read past this post, but duct tape is not that old of a trick... loyd and nick discovered duct taping subs in 04 and at drag finals that year every dragger there had picked it up //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I've been using it longer //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif I've been competing in car audio competitions since 91...in fact I come in 2nd at USACi finals that year.....I've used the duct tape trick long before 04....

I have a CVR12 400 RMS, If I put duck tape around my sub would it make it at least 600 RMS?
or if I duck tape my amp will I get more RMS?

Just like with anything car audio, it depends on the installation. Best to take it to a shop to have them duct tape it properly. If not, you risk losing amp power & rear wheel horsepower. Im assuming you have a rwd??

Just don't Duct tape the vent hole on back of your sub...or you'll get the magic smoke //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif hmmmm...an experiment I may have to try on an Audiobling or something and make a vid //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
