[QUOTE="Original wis, post: 8802470, member: 685344"] So I have a 2001 Nissan Sentra GXE. I'm putting four CT Sounds Strato 10's on a Smart 5 eventually. For now I'm putting four CT Sounds Tropo 10's on a Smart 3 in the trunk. The front doors will have Hertz Dieci DSK 165.3 components with the tweeters being fabricated into the sail panels. The kick panels will have Hertz Dieci DCX 87.3 coaxials fabricated into them. The rear deck will have Hertz Dieci DCX 165.3 coaxials. My goal is to have a daily driver SQL build. I want a good amount of clarity but I also want to be able to get really loud. My questions are: 1. How much of the surface area in the doors the roof the trunk and the floor do I need to cover to realistically get a good result? Do I need to spend a bunch of money to cover every single inch of the car like I see them do on the YouTube videos? 2. Do I really need to get like 90 or 120 mil? Is there anything really wrong with 50 mil? 3. Will covering more area with 50 mil give the same result as covering a smaller area in 80 mil? 4. If I cover the floor beneath the carpet with closed cell foam do I still need to put the regular sound deadener there too? The new carpet that I bought has a pretty thick layer of cushion below it and I'm worried that with the closed cell foam it might raise it up up too high if I add the regular deadener too. 5. I reupholstered the rear deck cover. I'm planning on covering the rear deck metal with sound deadener before I put it back in. Will that keep the rear deck from rattling or do I need to actually cover the bottom of the rear deck and the metal? 6. Any other advice that I may have missed or you can help me out with? Thank you for taking the time to read this and respond. Lewis King [/QUOTE]
