you also need to make sure you protect yourself from a fire.

8 awg wire shorted out, doesn't pull enough amperage to blow a fuse that is meant for 4awg current (say 100 amp)

Unless you fuse under the hood for the smallest power wire on the circuit, you need fused distribution.

I have a 2006 civic coupe. Didn't have to upgrade and was within that range of rms rating.

At one point I was running a DLS A6 @ 1 ohm (1200 wrms) and a 4x100 amp as well.

I've used Cascade VMAX. I think the price on the cascade barriers is just too high compared to using Mass Loaded Vinyl and closed celled foam separately. BTW - I get mass loaded vinyl from a place locally, saves me a ton over getting it from SDS which is in Maryland - the shipping costs almost as mu...

It actually just changed hands.

I agree however that sound deadener showdown is some great stuff.

I have used all the products they sell and been extremely happy.

don't touch it. unless you want to make a mess of your car and seriously **** some stuff up. even if it sticks and stays in place all you did was mass load the panel, the stuff is not good at damping vibrations.... (which is what you want it to do) - get something better, you don't really need that ...

woops. way to go spambot!

its all on my website, I need to do some editing and maybe I'll cross post it here.

I'm well aware of how deadening works Bill, thanks. lol. You don't have to be so defensive. The constrained layer stops reattles and lowers the resonant frequency of whatever it's stuck to. MLF It doesn't really stop rattles, and it has a lot less effect on resonant frequency that you might think. ...

If you are talking about CLD tiles, I think you should just try and sell sound deadener showdown out of your shop. Don has done a ton of research on the topic, and I can assure you the stuff you would be getting isn't nearly as good. If you are talking about mass loaded vinyl, get that from a commer...
