[QUOTE="danfortner, post: 252834, member: 547595"] I've been adding on and upgrading my install since I first got my 12" Eclipse Titanium on April 23, 2003. I finally got the settings right about 2 weeks after installing it, then I made a custom amp rack about a week ago. And yesterday I installed second skin. Well I was very impressed with the gains in SQ and SPL. BUT... if I turn it up and go outside the car it still rattles like crazy. I admit that there is less rattle, and I did get noticible improvements in the performance of the sub... SO; Does anyone else out there have problems like these? I mean, this is not a pure SPL setup so thats why I said Eclipse Ti, W7 and XXX... because they all have a good mix of both. But still it is only a single, sealed 12" firing towards the rear. I do have a big trunk... but I didn't leave any major places bare... also I spent extra time on places that I knew would be under a fair amount of preassure (trunk lid, and front of trunk, where it deflects off). Or do these subs just hit a little too hard for a single coating? Should I double up on high-preassure areas or just double up everywhere? Or is there some other issue that I am overlooking? Oh yeah, I used about 45 sq ft of Second Skin damplifier. [/QUOTE]
