Nice pics. Did you put in sound deadning in the doors? If so, have you got any pics of it?

I'm going to be installing speakers in my car soon and I'm not sure exactly where to put the sound deadning in the doors.

Cheers;)

the cheapest type of sound deadner is called "brownbread' there is a similar product which is heaps cheaper called flashtac i beleive, you can get it from your local hardware. put at least two layers of it and you will notice a huge improvement. I also reccomend you stuffing your doors with dacron to get rid of some of the resonance, it will sound alot better and wont add too much weight.

brown bread is what roofers use for insulation/noise reducing

i remember a test of brown bread vs dynamat and dynamat killed the bread stuff (something like triple the deadeness!)

cbf if i remember the link

It's still better than nothing and not quite as expensive as Dynomat ....

I know these are not of my Skyline but I haven't had time to do anything since I got it.

These are of my other car, a 95 Seat Cordoba 1.8l slush-o-matic.

I have quite a comprehensive install.

[Mud]

Boot with floor panels in.

Boot floor panels out.

Let me know what you think?

Any idea's for an R33?

I will post pics when my Skyline is eventually finished.

What does that system contain Mud ?

[Mud]

Kenwood PS911 head unit, top of the line in 2000, no speaker outputs on it, only 4V RCA's x 6

3 x Kicker amps

35W x 2 running 6x4" Kicker coaxials in the rear

65W x2 running 6" Kicker splits in the front

125W x2 running 2xMTX Thunder 8 Ohm Subs

Kenwood auxillary imput unit that runs two stackers and aux into the head unti.

Auxillary sound coming from Toshiba LCD screen and TV tuner in custom mount. Clarion TV antannae

Steering wheel remote.

Being a sedan and the way the subs are positioned and being a sealed box, it only pulls about 135DB.

I think thats it?

It's all for sale.

Make an offer.

I have a nice system at the moment, I was just after specs thnx Nice install though, you do it yourself or was it done professionally ?

[Mud]

Myself and a friend.

That box is 3 cubic feet underneath.

With nothing in the boot, I can sit in it and my head doesn't touch the parcel shelf.

Mind you I'm only 5'6"

I'll be starting on my Skyline next week.

Either full audio visual setup, TV/DVD/DTS/5.1 setup

or

Just a modest headunit and neat boot.

Can't make up my mind?

I don't need to go doof doof doof any more to get people to look at my ride

What'ya reckon?

[JiMb0]

I'd go a modest HU with a neat boot, but hey, that's only cause I've never had the $$$ to go for a full audio visual experience. If you can afford it, I say gopher it !

One recommendation though, don't try to sit in the boot of a Skyline, you may never work the same again

what's your budget and whats your sound preference?

i think in a skyline, modest HU and neat boot is an idea, help not invite the wrong kind of attention (from thieves)

i'd say a nakamichi CD45z HU (looks bland, great thief deterance but awesome sound quality with 24-bit DAC) running 2x12s in the boot (what you prefer) 3-way splits in the front in pods, woofer in the doors, 2-way co-ax's or splits in the rears.

4-channel for the front/rear fill (or 6-chan to run the front fully active :uh-huh: )

or dual 2-chans for the front/rear and a monobloc for the subs.
