    Sound deadening yay or nay?

    So if I coated the door card with the tape would that block the lock mechanism rattle noise?

    Sound deadening yay or nay?

    I read about flashing tape? What is it and how effective is it at minimising vibration?

    Thanks MSC!!!

    Well when my Mum had her old Micra (and I was searching for a car) a Micra was the last thing I would go for, but my parents convinced me otherwise. Then I found this place!!! lol

    Sound deadening yay or nay?

    Not worried about speed or I wouldn't have a sub/6x9/MDF boot ;) It's really the audio quality I'm after, but that's helluva expensive

    Sound deadening yay or nay?

    I really want to stop my door cards and boot rattling, but my local car audio specialist reckons it will use a £140 Box (40sqft I think) to do it properly. Should I go for it? Tom

    Understanding Gain

    I've been reading through Retepetsir's guide on gain and input signal voltages, and just wanted to clarify what I've worked out. 900w amp, 4ohm, 2.5v headunit output. The pre-clip voltage should be 60 I worked out. Divided by 2.5v (HU output) gives me 24. So where should I set the gain...

    Wanted - Silver prefacelift K11 bumpers

    Or at least a price for them delivered (unless you're not too far away). Need to be in good condition. If no-one's got any, I'll probably get mine re-sprayed. Tom

    OK now I've got my wooden shelf in place :D Nice much tidier wiring! I'm pleased I did that From the top... In the car - when the boot is shut all you can see is parcel shelf Had a bit of a disaster doing this though. I put my screwdriver through one of my QB69s, in the rubber bit...

    Mounting subs upside down?

    What's the benefit? I keep on seeing installs where the subs are mounted facing either down or towards the car body some way. Is it better than mounting them up? Do you get a different sound? Tom

    Cheers Anthony and MM. Nipples work now :) Just a bad connection Just trying a new layout here with the QB69s. I've put my old Alpine's back in too, just running off the head unit until I can get a seperate amp for the QB69s. I was out when my new Diamond front door speakers arrived this...

    High and Low Pass Filters

    What do they do? I know it's probably a simple one, but I'm not sure.

    I wish I couldn't get to work! I have to leave late at 11 today, so hopefully it will get worse!! But then if my new speakers can't get here today I won't be so happy! :) :( Tom

    Yeah, mine are only running at 100w RMS until I get them their own amp, but they sound OK. Both of mine are in the standard parcel shelf until I can get the wood to make a decent one. Had a bit of trouble getting them though. Got the new 3-way version this morning for £73, but the woofer on...
