Well first of all does any of you have a 12w6v2 in a Z? Is it too much?

Second is with that kind of sub and 500/1 jl runnig to it, what needs to be dynamatted the most, I am doing the doors for the speakers anyways, I was thinkgin about the trunk, where should I dynamat the most, is there like a weak plastic part on Z's trunk that needs to be dynamatted the most, man I am sick I dont even I think i am making any sense here, anyways if somebody can make sense from above post please reply to it. Thank you.

 

install the crap then dynamat what needs to be done,preventive maintenance is ******** in audio land


The doors are a must, they rattle just rolling down the road

 

Good post though...i gotta dynamat the car as well and was wondering what parts should be done.

 

Is there a DIY for door dynamatting, I have never dynamatted anything before.

 

*sigh* dynamat.

I spent 3 hours dynamatting my friends entire sedan yesterday...the thing looked like an oven!

Put all the trimming back and he was center stage on re-plugging the amp to a 12W6.

Blew his 500/1! Didn't get to enjoy the fruits of our labor.

Dynamatting is pretty easy, just takes patience and LOTS of time. Similar to doing a jigsaw puzzle, or a magazine collage. Lots of cutting and fitting.
A good technique we did on the fly yesterday was using large amounts of newspaper as quick disposable templates. Line up, trace with magic marker, cut, then line up with dynamat. Adhere one side, pull off wax paper from underneath and follow through.

 

thats entirely too much effort.

I did my entire car in about 20 min. It took 40 min to take it appart.

You just slap the crap on, cut if it needs to be, if it doesnt, leave it.

 

I think the lack of effort made it longer than ever.
Three guys, lots of fooling around. Plus it was a Jetta so it had all these panels to take off and different contours to shape to. The biggest PIA was probably removing the panels.

I wished it was straight forward like our Z's. I can probably do my own car under an hour.

 

heh

the fun part is making holes so the little plastic cips go back on... what a PITA

 

^^did that once. never again.

 

yeah tell me bout it.

"I need your power drill"
"For what??"
"So I can drill through the mat to get the clips back in again"
"You better not get that black butyl crap laced all over my drill bits."
