that works for now, but what you want to do in the future is right click the image, open in new tab, and then copy that url

Not a bad idea. I was thinking of installing birch on the roof and spray foam inbetween that and the sunroof.

You can get really thick deader for your lower layer they are measured in mils..I know they can be thicker but 85 mil is fairly thick stuff ..I’ve always used heat guns and rollers to apply mine ..just make sure all surfaces are cleaned well before applying

Nice looking Rockford Fosgate amp collection.

Lol...thanks...It's what i had laying from different builds. Don't think i'll buy Rockford anymore. Performs good but, to expensive.

I'd like to get rid of the 360.3 also and get the DSR-1 so i can control it from the tablet. I also don't like how you can't set it below 20hz. With my box tuned to 33.5hz i would like to set the bandpass filter at 17hz but, can't. It also emits a barely noticable hiss noise at all times along with a squeal for a second or two when first turning it on when it's below freezing.

I was looking at your pics all looks good ..I also saw you have experience with dampening when I saw your door panels so you should already know what to do with your roof area ..with applying it

Yes...and thanks. I think i'll go with applying birch and filling with spray foam tho. With the sunroof mechanism it would be the easiest way to go i believe. Even though it's going to get all in the sunroof and be unusable after that. I don't care. I've owned this car 17 years and have used the sunroof twice maybe.

That should work just fine as well and if it’s easiest try it and hopefully have those numbers improve at the next comp ...do you have a meter so you can calculate any improvements ?

No i don't and i didn't go to a comp. I just met up with a local guy that has an SSA meter. This is a musical build...i just wanted to satisfy my curiosity basically. Had a loose goal to be in the 150db club. Not all that interested in competing. I would have done a driver's side port if i wanted to compete.

Nothing wrong with that ...that’s what I did with my Mustang when I was in between builds ..I had everything pulled out and heard about a show and was curious if I could break a 150 with a single 12 in the trunk ..I threw everything together 2 days before a show test tuned it on the way there and did a 151.9 at the time it was the loudest show recorded trunk car ..nowadays they are doing way above that ..I’m running two 8s in the car and just a basic daily build now ..
