So this weekend i have a project in mind. I'm going to attempt to improve the audio of my GT. It's been awhile since i've installed an amp and i've never set up something like the MS-8 before. I will likely be returning to this thread whenever i have a question. I will do my best to keep this post updated as i go through my setup.
The Parts:
- Fatmat Rattle Trap (50 sq ft)
- Peel & Seal (25 sq ft)
- Roller (for sound deadner application)
- Aluminum HVAC Tape (to seal edges of Peel & Seal)
- NVX 4 GA amplifier installation Kit (100% OFC)
- Extra 4 GA Wire
- JBL MS-8
- Rockford Fosgate P3D2-12 12" Subwoofer
- Rockford Fosgate R500X1D (500 watt amp with remote)
Not Pictured:
- Power distribution block
- Firewall Gasket
- EZ Cool Insulation
First up, trunk carpet removal.
So here are some updates:
Sound deadener is a PITA lol. I'm not going for 100% coverageas i do want to save some of it for the doors and roof. If anyone can suggest how to remove the headliner i'm all ears.
Some things i've noticed. The trunk lid has about a 2" pocket between the outer body metal and the part of the trunk where i was able to apply the deadener. My solution is going to be to purchase some 3M professional grade undercoating which has good reviews for sound deadening properties (as far as sprays go) and it happens to be on sale at advance autoparts. The spray will also come in handy when doing the doors as there is also a similar space between the outer skin of the door and inner.
