Progress report: sonicneo's stereo

sonicneo1 · 24-06-2006, 12:31 AM

Hey everyone,
Thought you might like to see how the stereo's coming along. Most of the sounddeadening is done and the h/u is wired in and running. Here's some pics:

tomorrow i gotta work on the components install and starting the boot construction.

Dogo · 24-06-2006, 01:06 AM

are you going to seal the service holes on those doors ?
It makes a huge improvement on the midbass.

good work

looking forward to more progress updates

sonicneo1 · 24-06-2006, 11:14 AM

yeah im gonna seal up those holes once i put in the speakers.

bourbon · 24-06-2006, 11:48 AM

how much wieght you added with all that sound deadening

haha...

also you gonna put a false floor above the xbox, one that you fold up?
just so people dont kick it alll the time...

sonicneo1 · 24-06-2006, 01:40 PM

i just put the xbox on the floor so i could quickly see if i could play it on the h/u. im in the process of making a bracket so that it will be mounted underneath the glovebox

A bulk pack of Dynamat Extreme only weighs a little over 7Kg's. I used 2 sheets per front door and 4 and a bit sheets for the boot. So I ended up with a little under 1 sheet left over. Of course I still need to do the floor and rear doors, and paint the wheel well's with deadener...

AstinaBoiV6 · 24-06-2006, 07:23 PM

how much is it for a bulk pack?

sonicneo1 · 25-06-2006, 03:07 PM

I got my bulk pack for $220 plus about $20 shipping from http://stores.ebay.com.au/QuickSmartTechnology

chipa · 25-06-2006, 03:15 PM

For Dynamat Extreme you're looking at around $300 for a bulk pack. You can knock a bit off buying on eBay, but I preferred to support a good installer and got mine through FHRX Studio's.

AstinaBoiV6 · 25-06-2006, 04:52 PM

and how much is it for the paint version and also can you use the paint version on the doors and footwell/boot etc. does the paint still give u that sound deadening that the dynamat does?

chipa · 25-06-2006, 10:13 PM

A 1 lt tin of deadener is around $20 from memory. From what I have researched it doesn't compare to the sheets at all. But it can be used in places like your wheel well's. It can make a big mess and I know that if you wanted to use it inside the car a lot of caution would be needed...

UPDATE
I've had the week off work so it was time to get some more done on the stereo.

chipa · 22-07-2006, 06:32 PM

Nice 1. Can't wait to see the finished product.

project.r.racing · 23-07-2006, 12:06 AM

looks like it's gonna be kool, look like it'll come together good!!!
questions - how are you gonna access the rear struts? no spare tyre?

Dogo · 24-07-2006, 10:33 AM

looks like good progress.
I'd make the walls of that sub box thicker tho.

looking forward to more pics !
