I did some weighing of sheets of foam and Dynamat left over and came up with an approximation of the weight added. I'm not complaining but I am curious. I didn't weigh some of the pieces until half way through, like the amps before I put the seats back in so I got the figures from Amazon.com. They listed a shipping weight and product weight, I went with product weight. I know this won't be an exact figure as I have to guesstimate on some stuff.
8lbs...Alpine MRP-F300 4ch amp (seems high)
5.3lbs...Alpine MRP-M350 mono sub amp
10.8lbs...6 sheets of Dynamat Xtreme, (both doors and misc interior panels)
4lbs...2 PVC closed cell foam kitchen mats and plexiglass, (both doors and b-pillar panels) the mats were a little over 2lbs each, plexi was a couple ounces, after subtracting the pieces of foam and the plastic weather shield removed from the stock door, added to the scraps of trimmed mat left over I figure 2lbs made it into each side of the car. The blue camping mat squares I put behind the door speakers only weighed a few grams each, maybe a half ounce so that was negligible.
5lbs...2 Front door speakers and xovers. Stock speakers weighed a puny 2lbs, DB6501 weighed in at a manly 4lbs, add another lb for the xovers which I didn't weigh and the tweeters which felt a little heavier than stock but I also didn't weigh. Amazon lists the comp set at 10lbs which sounds about right. I didn't use the polk speaker grills or tweeter mounts so 5 sounds fair to me.
2lbs...2 rear deck coaxial. Same speakers in the front so stock is 2lbs, replacement db651's 3lbs.
5lbs...wire and connectors. 50ft of 14ga, 8ft 4ga, 6ft 8ga, 6ft rca cables x3 and a remote wire, spade connectors and ring terminals on everything, fuse holder on battery wire and fused distribution block. Weighing leftover pieces I gather around 5 lbs should be close enough, I guess.
Total 40.1 lbs
What does this mean? Nothing. I'm glad it wasn't 80 though. I might get close to that when I'm done adding the sub and enclosure (amp and wiring is already factored). The upgrade in sound and in cabin comfort was worth the weight, plus looking at the mod list already on the car, who knows how much weight I've already added, rear strut bar, bigger anti sway bar, croxx plate up front plus JVC HU and ipod/sat radio adapters and engine monitoring equipment. 40 lbs is not that much.
