I've seen a few threads that say filling the boot lid with like loft insulation works a charm as it gets into all the gaps

What are your thoughts on that?

Its not a problem mate

Thanks for being nice about it lol

Na not worth it for the price it is, i work in a insulations company and most loft insulations is thermal, not acoustic

Ill be brutal with ya, buy that Silent coat or dont bother whatsoever, its worth the 40 quid and you wont regret it

Dont waste your time looking for a cheaper solution, its the dogs balls

Sounds good! putting the order through now

I've come to the realisation that the like voltage and db settings on the m650 make so much difference! like i connected one to each sub and the new alpine i bought is s*** LOL really disappointed. Paid 60 for that and only £36.76 + £14.00 postage & packaging for the M650!

Oh turns out my rip off power cap is broken so i'm in disputes with the ebay seller atm so should get my money back

Any pictures on where to deaden the boot, doors and boot lid by any chance? im sure theres some floating about I just can't seem to find them lol im guessing theres some in build threads, read through a few but no dice!

My boot builds getting there, need to bolt down and carpet everything

May update with some pictures tomorrow

Good lad
Just shows you its all in stats, and the M650 is more powerful
Haha that would be such a touch if you can get your money back for it, will pay for your sound deadening

I havent got any myself, just imagine when you take off the door cards and boot card, you wanna get the furthest down you can till your at the very back of the door so essentially your deadening the actual door metal, no voids etc, but the actual metal of the door? Does that make sense? If not say and ill try explaining another way

EDIT just found this epic pic on google

http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/news/wp ... 00x450.jpg

You wanna do both types, see how on the left side of the pic he has done right at the back

http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/news/wp ... 00x450.jpg

And on this pic he has "sealed it" over

Thats how you do it

This is going to take forever *facepalm* LOL

Well wish me luck >.> going to get the boxes and boot build all assembled when the weather clears up later whilst im waiting for the deadening

Was going to sell the car next May, may just keep it for a few years now lol

keep it 9n a lovely car

any more questions mate just lemme know

im subbed to this thread so will see anything

Thanks

No way they are a very average sub, not cheap crap but not high quality, get a decent amp running them and you will have ALOT of bass

In my opinion ...

Decent amp running both of them, decent box, 4 gauge wiring, done

Well its 4 gauge
and the amp is half decent

I think they've just been rinsed - the subs that is!

Just buy my sub, wont regret that

haha message me with a price

Im back once again!!
Okay so the subs dont sound s**t, it was the box - really need to sell some of this crap and buy a decent ported one!
I've soundproofed the boot, boot lid and under the seats - I got the doors left
takes bloody ages >.>

I never got a refund for the powercap. eBay are umm.. annoying?!

But anyway will post pics later

Good stuff, get some pics up

Got all signal wires down one side and power cables through the other

The carpets kind of match? anyone know where I can get like proper vw carpet by any chance

Put a fan in - needs a grill on top but the bottom where the amps are is completely sealed so i thought i better let the hot air out lol.
You can kind of see the high density foam i got there too (extra added deadening?) lol

Ummm so yes, the enclosure is s**t but i'm working on it lol

Ebay pic of thhe guy i bought it from
I was planning to use those two enclosures but they were leaking air and i haven't had a chance to check where from although I have carpeted them in the same colour as i have done the wood in the boot

Ive also soundproofed using silent coat (about 85%coverage) on the rear doors, under the back seat, the boot and boot lid
I was thinking about fiberglassing the whole thing.. thoughts?

Few updates:


Ripped the console out


Installed a double din


Thought id make things a bit neater


GPS and the ipod connections hidden away




all hidden


Dont really know what to do with this wire?


Wrapped the centre console


Changed the fan (Looks so much better)


All done minus the box (still needs changing)

So like - my front bonnet also vibrates, how on earth am i meant to soundproof that?!
