[QUOTE="CaliforniabOY5, post: 3006846, member: 571995"] I would suggest adding a ton of deadener for your application however there are pro's and con's. Before I get into that let me explain a few things: You have a muscle car and I can relate very well, i have a Boss 302 sitting in my garage (father's) and well, your car is loud as far as road noise and exhaust, motor, ect. With these factors it will be very hard to get a great SQ system so I would just forget this all together, possibly a LSQ (Loud Sound Quality) setup ? Deadening can give you great results in lowering road noise inside the car, helping tempurature control, more accurate mids and bass. This will help out your system a lot because it will help kill conflicting noise that will deter the sound. In my own personal experiance I was at first dissapointed with the results but then after a while i realized the huge results. My volume before deadening my car I could not be happy below "25" and after the deadening "15" sounded like "25" because of less road noise/exterior noise. Pro's have been stated. But since you are restoring a muscle car. . . Con's: Expensive for good stuff, Secondskinaudio.com is where i got all my stuff, its the most expensive by far but its worth it IMO. you can do some reading on different materials it at [URL="http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com/"]http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com/[/URL] . Another CON is weight, it is heavy and will add a lot of weight thus making your muscle car slower in theory. One other thing i can think of is TIME. It's not rocket science, pretty straight forward and I found it fun but its very tedious and takes a LOT of time. Any more questions about deadening, send me a PM or ask here. [/QUOTE]
