Today i was at my local audio shop, and picked up a 4sqft sheet of Dynomat Extreme for $20, hugely expensive (im guessing on the sq ft thing) but imo it was better then waiting for stuff to be shipped, plus, whats wrong with supporting a local shop that does you right? Anyway, i put some on my trunk lid and its sounding pretty good. Looks disgusting (bad cutting+ not enough dynomat = disaster). I cut about 3 6" strips with about 5" between each and put them on the main trouble spots of the trunk. i alos put some in various trouble spots. I've got a loose panel on my trunk that when i turn it up and it sounds so horrible, its like a high pitched rattle, yuck. I've got dynamat all around it.

btw, best buy had the same stuff for $40, soi think its a fair deal. stops alot of annoying rattles. Once i get the full trunlid covered, i think im going to try and take the trunklid off and carpet it, its nasty, i can't cut to save my life.

on a final note, im giong to apply for circuit city's holiday rush thing.. not as an installer (As im not 18) but hopefully car audio or computer sales. maybe if i get hired they'll keep me and eventually i could be an installer.

Enjoy telling people how great the shitty equipment at Circuit City is. "Oh yeah, those Bazooka tubes are the best!"

i have no problems with that if pay is good enough.. but i'd be more likely to steer them to kicker or mtx if i can.

edit: why is it that all the amps stores like circuit city and best buy car say "800w' on it, but when you look at it, its about 200w at 4 ohms, 340w at 2ohms x2. that totally runs it for every other brand in the world because someone thinks that their "1200w" amp from circuit city is a better value then a dcent amp with actuall 1200wRMS power would be.

You dont have to necessarily coat the whole trunk. Just the thin panels. And at that just stirps will work...lol

er, its a saturn. thats all my car is, thin panels. but the strips are working well. any tips for carpeting the trunklid? i really don't want to open up my trunk and have a bunch of nasty-cut dynamat stuffs there. it is shiney though.

so today i applied the rest of my dynamat. Beign satisfied with the trunk, i tore up the rear deck for some fun! I cut out a few 1" strips and put them in, and just threw the rest on in big chunks. fun huh? Yeah well.. i learned that its better to cut the stuff decently. i mean, look at my fingers. i sliced them bitches up on that dynamat foil. but its worth it, my sub sounds so much more then 1 13" sub getting 120w. really. now i need to build a ported box for it.
