Door Pack is sh*t..really!

Buy the Bulk pack.I did..glad I did.

I think it's actually called the Trunk Pack or something like that.

But yeh, bout half the pack on each side should get the doors nice and stiff to absorb the bass and will give you clean notes.

I don even need a Sub anymore. Got 6x9's in the back aswell!

the skyline doors really sound sooooo much better with lots of sound deadener. like a new car when you close it.

my GTT has innner, outter, and sound mats behind the speakers. and the door panels now have foam filled handles and other sound deadener to stop the squeak between the lower and upper parts when your hip leans on them... annoying !!! plus my door pockets are going to be gone this week and filled up with another pair of splits...

the little packs that dynomat give you isnt nearly enough to do a small door properly, as chris suggested above.

there are a multitude of products that do the job, some better some worse..some you find at Bunnings for next to nothing hint hint

and for all those people who think its too heavy for a street car,clean out your macca's wrappers.... I'd rather my car sound solid built then a rattle can . you can only drive so fast on the roads anyhow? if I wanted a race car I wouldnt put a radio in it...end rant ...lol

personal preference my friend. i usually put some on the inner skin, then line behind the speaker with plain chant, then seal the door up totally, then put a sheet of dynaliner across the whole exoskeleton of the door. www.dynamat.com has some good tutorials on it.

dont overlook some of these videos

http://www.secondskinaudio.com/installation-instructions.php

Dynomat isnt the only company who does this

Stinger is another good one

my car doors are damn near sealed , my two sets of split speakers dont even fire into the door chamber they have separate chambers sealed with carbon fibre and fiber glass molds and custom horns for the tweeters molding into the door panel shell. the sound deadener is for the rattles and to keep the SPL inside the car

(photos will be posted up on Audiocontrols website soon for all to see the build up)

they do seem 2 be more populay in the US than Aus, proably cause they are more dificult to install

I've never installed them bet have listened to a few that just sound majic. ( & some that sound poo)

as always the more effert put in the greater the reward

Horns cost a fortune for "image Dynamics" or similar, and take a proper designed system to make them sound good, plus a lot more space to mount

there not store brand horns,,,, there very custom hand made ones and yes designed properly up too the point I could , using the space and car audio speakers instead of Pro Audio sound gear for concerts...lol

once the system is tuned I can post the RTA curve if anyone wants or ?

    • Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!
    • So my car is finally back from paint! This took an absolutely insane amount of work and should get it's own build thread - but I didn't build it. It was completed by Troy @ https://scalekustoms.com.au/ I originally bought the AOSHIMA URAS Type R kit while I was in Japan, it's supposed to look like this when assembled: Now, I thought that was cool enough until I opened the box with Dismay, as there's no way I could possibly have completed it. The thing is 1/24 and has details down to the steering wheel horn button, which is a 2mm diameter sticker. I originally wondered if someone could make it at all, as is - But then things got a little carried away. It's worth noting that the model does not have an openable bonne, let alone engine bay, OR an openable boot. - Troy has worked wonders with 3D printer and presumably better eyes than I will ever have. My photos suck, so I will post up some of his in-progress ones he sent to me during the way. Unsuprisingly, he is very detailed. A lot of these are out of order. But he: 1) Made a LS engine and an engine bay appear out of thin air 2) Made the bonnet removable 3) Printed the rims I will buy in the future (or any rim you want) 4) Printed and added the wing that is going on 5) Tinted my back windows as this is what my car has IRL (privacy glass) 6) Added a licence plate. 7) Somehow did the interior 8) 3D Printed my actual seats 9) Made the exhaust under the car connect even though this is likely invisible. 10) Created a boot with my fking battery box, power steering reservoir, subwoofer and toolboxes back there. To say it's insane is an understatement. And I f**ked it all up because when I was re-mounting the wing (it broke in transit) I spilled glue everywhere and ripped paint up and Gregged the rear half of the car. Which about makes sense. Also, this arrived on the same day. Quite the change from: I spent 16 hours per day over the next 3 days pre-christmas putting the interior back together, mounting lip, fixing various bodykit problems with window mouldings, etc. and servicing, rebuilding my 370z brakes to go on the car 'soon', messing with heights to check clearances for new wheels, etc. I also had a foray into mounting wiper-mounted washer jets which was an absolute disaster. The bodyshop has welded (and painted) over the stock jet locations for reasons unknown to everybody (i.e they forgot) I also wanted to wire in the oil pressure sensor on Christmas Eve which was a BAD IDEA. You do not know terror like pulling your ECU apart, pinning in half-fitting pins that aren't the right ones, but trying anyway because it's Christmas eve, putting your ECU back together and having a no-start condition with a fuel pump not priming. Then you undo all your work and the fuel pump still doesn't prime. So after all that terror and horror and pain and tedious disassembly, the issue was the relay in the boot which seems to have died/stuck when I was turning the car off and on about 700 times testing shitty washer jets. I also re-wired the fuel pump power plug which fell apart in my hands. I am very happy I had 3 extra pre-made ones from a few posts/last Christmas's breakdown. https://bluewireautomotive.com/products/10-x-pcm-ecm-ecu-terminals I have put an order for these in, so I can actually add the pins to the ECU properly. The commodore ECU does not have the pins for Oil Pressure via ODB2. However the ECU can support it if you create the pins and wire them in. So for round two, and somehow attempting to route that into the engine bay through my impossible engine bay grommet is a fight for another day. It's 40C in Melbourne tomorrow, I am half tempted to drive the car with the aircon on to deliver presents to my partner's family and see if it helps with the overheating-on-40C-days-in-traffic-with-aircon-on-only issue that the vents were intended to solve. Do I feel lucky?
    • Yes, while being... strictly unnecessary. Tuning is a bit like quantum physics. You don't need to understand what Schroedinger's equation actually means. You just need to run the computation and accept the answers. With tuning, you just push page up/down until the exhaust tells you that you've got the fuel right. The VE can stay hidden behind the curtain like the Wizard of Oz and you'll never need to know what he looked like.
    • The second part yes, the first part about easy VE calculation is something I've seen a few people talk about online.
    • You 100% could do that, would save money on a gym membership lol. But yeah, getting a cordless orbital sander will feel priceless coming from doing it manually.  Good luck with it mate
