Subwoofer in stock location
#42
I've got nothing to compare it to, but if I rap my knuckles on the speaker enclosure it sounds like a solid block of concrete. Last Summer I also used it in my '92 Alfa Spider when I was replacing the carpeting. I did the floor pans and the gearbox tunnel, and it deadened the road noise very well. The best part was that I used two layers on the driver's side floor, to insulate the heat from the headers and cat, and now I can drive in just socks, without burning my right heel on a long drive.

I didn't do any comparison, and this is the first time I've ever used the FatMat. But the box is totally dead and airtight, and that's how it should be. As for the FatMat on the metal panels, you can tap on the metal and it really doesn't seem much different before and after. I had a 40 sq. ft. kit, so I just tried to use it up.

going to try to make one next weekend. Any suggestions/ recommendations on what sounded the best? Trying to just mount the sub into the stock location or making a box and sticking it there?

Mine, which is pictured above is 18" x 12.5" x 6.5", out of 3/4" MDF. It seems to be the largest size which will fit if you just want to make a box with 90-degree angles. BrainLeash69's box, looks like it has a bit more internal volume, which may be important, depending on the subwoofer you choose. Either way, a sealed enclosure is the only way to go.

I think it sounds great. It's been installed now for almost 3 years, and I've got no intentions of changing a thing. The HU is a Kenwood, the other speakers are Boston components, and the amps are JL (one 1-channel and one 4-channel).

Okay, so i like how both of you guys did it and i am looking to do about the same, i just have a couple of questions, what size cables or what are the references for the cables to hook up the sub to the amp? Also what size amp did you use ? i have a 10" type R. Lastly, how the hell did you guys strip the plastic pieces off of the rear speakers ? thanks a lot.

The plastic interior panels all just come off the body with gentle pulling, but you have to remove them in the right order. You obviously pull the panels overlapping from the top first, and so on. The only fasteners are the screws around the glove box. There are some threads on this site showing specific instructions for removing the door panels and installing speakers, as well as for the rear panels and speakers. Same for installing the head unit. Search for them, and become familiar with what's involved before getting started.
