Damn good trade

J

I thought so too. They all work and read 11.3 ohms, so I think my son will enjoy them.

This is what a 30 pack of beer got me.

SCORE!! Plus one for the silver bullet!! Those are gonna sound good!!

[ssh 924]

Should sound stellar.

I am just worried about possibility of rust lol

J

I wouldn't worry about it to much. I would be amazed if they rusted through in the lifetime of the car.

Agreed but it seems like every site I looked at today has been swearing that header wrap is the worst thing since Cancer.

I enjoy discussing sound deadener with ppl. The science behind it is fun. That being said most ppl don't have a clue.

I cannot say enough at how much a difference it was when we thinsulated my roof. Was huge for this super cold, curious as to how it will do with the very hot days. I can make it almost all the way to work and there will be frost still on the top because most of the heat from the cabin did not make it up.

Might remember that my M5 had thinsulate everywhere. Way before it was available in the aftermarket. Still have a bunch and access to a ton more.

Sean, I have a plan on walling of my Celica. Either 2x15 or 2x18. With that much power I have another plan-reinforcing the whole roof with plywood. Thinking about filling all the little voids between the plywood and the roof with either polyfill or clothes batting(have a lot of this). Thoughts?

Might want to do ccf as well, if I remember correctly ccf doesn't loose it's shape or form over time like other foams, might help with any panels touching against sheet metal, and throw in that other stuff for all the little voids.

Severe thunderstorm warnings and tornado watches all over the region; fuck yeah

Sounds fun. I sorta wish we occasionally had that here, make things more interesting--until my house gets ripped apart?

I don't think I would fit, but at least the roof wouldn't be an issue

I need to look into deadening the bird. Keep some road noise out.

BTW Anyone have any opinions on wrapping REALLY hot headers? I am wrapping mine as they throw a shit ton of heat.

J

That car will be a MESS to sound deaden. Just wasn't built well enough to make much headway. In my Silverado it quickly became apparent that to improve anything I'd have to do something with all the window and door seals as they were terrible and its worlds better than your bird.

Don't wall

[///M5 2,833]

Oh, as for the SD portion. Mass is your friend. The frequency content you are trying to block is not in the efficiency range of fibers.

A big ass box?

That one doesn't have the stretch so its a no go....otherwise I'd be driving down there RIGHT now.

[///M5 2,833]

I wouldn't do that either...but you asked for my thoughts so I answered with them. My more serious response is the one below that one

[The enD 467]

What do you have against walls? I don't really care about back seats or selling the car(reversing it to it's original state for sale).

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

We've had nothing but catastrophic drought over the last year (remember when Rick Perry called for the entire state to pray for rain and God responded by setting the whole state on fire?) so I'm about as close to dancing in the rain as it gets

Did insulating the roof help with road noise or just help trap the sound in the car?

I believe my next step is going to be filling the a-pillar base with expanding foam. I think there is alot of road noise traveling up from the front fender through the open camber inside that area of the car body.

Even though there is no mass, thinsulate works like MLV as an absorber. The long fibers are a bit "magic".

So would the old standby CLD + CCF + MLV be improved by substituting the Thinsulate for the MLV? or by substituting the Thinsulate for the CCF? or by adding Thinsulate to the party?

It's funny you ask that.

We drove up through Bastrop on 71 during the Christmas holidays and you can still smell the smoke for miles

Same thing I have against huge boxes only one step further.

I figured it would be. I have something like 60 sq ft of Second Skin (I know the feelings towards that brand's history here) just sitting on the shelf. My thoughts were if I layered the floor and door panels (inside part of the outer sheet metal) that I MIGHT be able to get some of that road noise to go away. I am not expecting that distinctive THUD when the doors shut, but perhaps a little bit better road noise blocking.
