In the process of bass proofing my car. Decided against Dynomat because of how spendy it is, and the fact that you have to heat it for the glue to activate. bought Hushmat and I'm amazed at how well it works. Paint sticks inbetween the roof and the roof supports holds it tight and then cover the ENTIRE inner side of the roof with hushmat. I'm gonna do the rear gate this weekend if my lift doesnt get here by tommorow.

 

Has anyone figured out a dome light that doesnt rattle? I've checked all years/makes models and I cant find one with a good enough design. The plastic trim panels seem to clip in tight enough that they dont appear to be rattling. I might leave the headliner out since its just that cheesey felt/cardboard crap and it doesnt really insulate the car at all. I imagine having the hushmat against the metal probably insulates from cold better than the felt did.

 

What else am I forgetting to check? I didnt notice anything inside the doors causing noise, but if someone knows of a panel that comes loose or needs to be reglued please let me know. I really dont want any rattles when I finally break down and buy http://www.jlaudio.com/13w7-d1-5-car-audio-w7-subwoofer-drivers-92113 to go in the back.

Gettings a dub 7 eh? And @1.5 ohms even. What amp you gonna use to push that thing? You got pics of your install?

 

I didn't want to spend that much on my sub, but I got a PG zx500 (600watts RMS on paper, but closer to 900watts RMS in reality) that is going to be pushing my single 12".

 

As for rattles, I have been surprised at how much my 1990 legacy does not rattle. Like hardly at all, even with everything cranked. These soobies interior seems surprisingly durable, even over the years...
