Beginning Soundproofing (finally!)
Beginning Soundproofing (finally!)
So it finally warmed up to 50 today so I figured it'd be a good time to pull out the ol' b-quiet I bought way back when, and start laying it.
It reminded me of my old felt-roofing days... except I actually enjoyed this, haha!
I was fairly comfortable through the afternoon, it was warm enough throughout the day...
but late afternoon it started to get real cold and windy, so I had to close the hatch to keep warm, but I was still comfortable to keep working.
Bam. Hatch closed. What the heck? You could fit like a party of five up in here! it's like, little car on the outside, equipped with a spacial vortex dimension compressor, expands 3x inside!

Re: Beginning Soundproofing (finally!)
i'm running two polk MOMO amps, 2 channel, one to the front Polk MoMo components (MMC6500?) and one to a 10" MOMO sub.
The sub only needs a small enclosure so I keep a lot of trunk space open (important for my DD)
Here is how I did my setup. Nothing spectacular, but clean and simple.

Re: Beginning Soundproofing (finally!)
Nice. I planned to use those polk 6500 to but they where damaged in shipping. So now I'm waiting on a refund becasue they can't get another set. So i'm back in the market for some new door speaker. May still get some if i can get them for around the same price.

Re: Beginning Soundproofing (finally!)
SuperK see those vents in the back that you did not dynamat over? go over them bud with 2-3 layers, you'' gain about 1.5db's, not to mention they destroy SQ. I found them originally due to an annoying sound pre dynamat.
got db's? If your windshield ain't breakin you were taken.........
Re: Beginning Soundproofing (finally!)
are you talking about the big holes on the side walls? the ones that let you pointlessly access the little side markers?
Re: Beginning Soundproofing (finally!)
yep those would be the ones.

Yes. Isolate the door panels well.
