well if you are gonna deaden the car, i would go with something that is not assphalt as that will make the car smell and is not as good as a butyl mat and if you want something not to expensive RAAmat is a good choice and the best is secondskin mat, if you wanna go really cheap if you can find protecto wrap hip and ridge tape at homedepot or lowes it will do the trick because it is a foil backed butyl product peal and seal will also work however it is an asphault product but if you clean the car it seems to work good for people

so for being long winded but what were you thinking of using?

even with my dealer discount Raamat is 100+ for a trunk package... and my goal is under a 800 total build cost so i am thinking about peal and seal and just clean the surface off very well and maybe double layer it if needed and any one know a way to deaden the inside of the doors?

instead of the 4 round ports you could look at doing a slot port there. more port area but doesn't take any more space. just a thought

AR port's are more effiecent than a slot port and creat's less noise i dont think port area will be a problem in this case but if it sounds funny or makes a buzzing sound ill rebuild it with a slot for sure but i have the AR ports now and they are way easier to install

peal and seal works and your right just clean the metal first, and to do the inside of the doors all you can really do is just slide your hand in there and push it on there really is no trick to doing it, and you will need more port area for 12ft^3

the needed port are per ft^3 is 12-16in^2 and 4 4in ports is perfect for 4ft^3 not 12 lol, but you deff could do it, it would just not be optimal

also a good thing for the doors would be to expanding foam the seam on the inside cause i know in my car ive been driving with out a door pannel for about a week and i noticed a lot of air coming threw the door on the inside and doing that would help a lot of rattle and seal it up which would help on the db side

ya i re calculated the amount of port area i need and i am about 4-6 Ap's short of having enough lol.. so i am going to buy the peal and seal now and see if i can pick up a few things of foam depending on cost i am going to install that on sunday and if i can do it all in a day then ill start the big three upgrade my alt wont get here for like 3 weeks.... so ya thats gay and i was at the shop last night and some kids from town came in and said they want to challenge us to a SPL comp. with a single sub set up with under 45 HZ tuning and the amp has to be rated under 2000 watts rms so i might change my build for that for now just to shut them up lol i want to go with a fusion NV 12 inch 2 ohm DVC in a 14x14x36 box with 3 external AP and see if i can post a 145 or higher if not then ill think of something else let me know what you guys think

[itssteve]

well i could get someone that i know to desgin a really good box if you have demensions, and i would say that for a fart box you really just need to build and test and build and test, but 2ft^3 at 40hz or so might be able to get you a 145 or so but thats hard for just a single 12 it can be done though

no its not going to be a fart box its a musical box and i think i am going to use a 15 if i can find the room and i just got done sound deadening my car i have a few more spots to do but the trunk is done it worked really good no echo at all so i am happy il post the pics this week
