Fat-Tony Member 5,364 Member For: 18y 7m 2d Posted 24/07/06 12:22 AM Share Posted 24/07/06 12:22 AM While on the topic of sound quality and rattles, if using the back speaker thin arse metal panels when remounting use foam tape between the speaker panel and the mounting surace of the car, they are flimsy POS and even with a decent speaker that actually offers midrange, unlike the stock speakers, they rattle more than enough to be annoying. Good post none the less Trough just means I gotta pull the back of my car apart now lol←make a whole new speaker panel from 6-10mm MDF, while your at it convert the 5x7's to 6x9' or 6.5'. nothing awesome for the back is necessary, its only "rear fill". a set of 2 way coax 6.5's will be perfect.TurboCrazy: any decent audio shop should be able to get "Dynamat" or "roadkill" sound deadening products.a "dynamat extreme large pack" is just perfect for doing the rear wall and doors. ←hehe if I could be bothered I would remake the rear section outta mdf or I will just get my mate to do it prob easier that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see windscreens popping and trim exploding roughly what size could I get away with for a 12" and which way to face it? it's facing forwards and into the seat which obviously muffles it a fair bit..

You'd still get that hollow airflow/road noise sound wouldn't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
