And correctly fused and run cables with the right gauge to suit your system... Edited 19/01/09 03:59 AM by smicky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(inside the doors etc)and for the boot lid,did you create a trim piece as there is no trim covering the boot lid?? (in mine anyway)do you have any photos?im presuming you purchased the dynamat trunk kit, was it plenty to cover everything you needed?It wasn't difficult to do, you get your hands cut ut a bit, mostly in the tricky areas I used cardboard/paper to get the shapes right first then apply it.I bought the boot lid carpet (it was in fairmonts etc) and it looks waaaay better now, here is the thread you can see my pics inhttp://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=42120FYI I used a Rockford Fosgate 360.1 convertor in my installHere's the thread relating to how I installed my HU.http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=53051Otherwise the route that Mika took is another good option.http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=53255 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used a Extreme Bulk Pack pf Dynamat.On your other question about a battery. I got an Optima when I did my install, my battery was on the way out so I figured it was a good time to upgrade. Never missed a beat (and I've had them in all past 3 cars) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
