Ok, so the other day I did a little deadener work. I put 2-3 layers down under the back seat, and also 3-4 layers in the trunk.

Yes, the wires are a little bit messy, but its impossible to organize wires on a valve block lol
Upload

I glassed over and shaved a few things. Same thing with the doors.

ppl say there is too much of a good thing - when it comes to spl comps too much can actually reduce ur score

but ur ride is def gonna be rattle free & bass roll off will be silky smooth

well im guilty of over doing it a bit too - just wanted to see what u wud say....

my doors actually have 3 layers on it - 2 inside & 1 on the outer panel ...have heard ppl say they never heard anybody else's doors with that much midbass (cdt hd62 6.5" comps).

i used to own a dd9512 which forced me to deaden since the doors used to move in\out like a speaker but after i was done with it nothing is moving anymore

trunk lid : well since its a wagon it flexes alot too so i had to foam & do 3 layers as well

roof : 2 layers , when ppl tap it they say wtf !

no deadening on my flooring though ...maybe 1 day i might do it but im afriad it cud lower my spl score since i compete in spl

SS FTW ! ...

Sound deadening the trunk will not effect my score at all since my box is basically sealed off from the trunk. I mainly did it to reduce exhaust noise.

Thanks, Rob. I'm glad you like it lol. Yeah, I stole the sticker from something I seen a while back. It fits the car perfectly though.

I would do my own but I'm affraid of messing something up. Such as depinning the plugs and then putting the wrong wire in the wrong slot on the plug. Just alot of depinning and documentation and rerouting the wires.

I got to fix a gas leak tonight. If it all goes right it will be started.

Then tomorrow I have to do come cutting to the hood and parts of the turbo fittings to get the hood to close right.

The turbo is a bit too big for the car. I'll take some pics of what I had to do to get it to fit right lol.

Thanks man.

My last score was a 149.7
1. I didn't have my glovebox in (I am loosing at least a few tenths from this)
2. I have since upgraded to a new battery up front and all new wiring. I need to get it metered again soon.
3. I need to shorten my ports to get my note up

I see a 151 in it at least :-)
