I just put the shit in.

I am into sounds... But dont know anything about competition. I just like music, so sounds are my thing. Right now i am ridin with an Alpine CDA 9831 deck, type r 6 1/2" components in front, 6 1/2" type r coax's for rear fill that i run off the deck when i have passengers in the rear, an alpine MRV F345 V12 amplifier, and a 12" JL Audio W3 sub in my SI. It isnt anything special but it is enough to keep my ears happy

i am into SQ but am afraid of the weight consequences because my car is already a pig. My car came with stock JBL speakers and a sub, but that is all i have. I really like the whole custom enclosure stuff. Like havin speakers in unique spots.
-
Right now im planning on making a custom 18inch Kicker Enclosure in my eclipse....and trying to fit my zex kit in with it too.....overall the SPL should be good...but SQ will be shitty as hell...but i do have 2 sets of 6x9's....6.5's.....and 4 tweeters.

i'm a sq type of guy myself. i use to be big into stereo systems, but then 2 months before college started two years ago someone broke out the back window of my car and stole out approx 1500 dollars in stereo equipment. then i had college and no money so i kinda fell out of the stereo craze. i still have to have a descent system, but i go for moderate weight and nice sound quality.so, it doesn't effect your speed as much

I have done both sq and spl, I have gone to 10 comps or so, and placed in most of them. When I had my probe I won regions in DL, in my power class. I hit 153 db with two 15". Then I kinda went to sq after that. I have also placed in sq comps to. Right now I have a little of both, but I would def say it is more of an sq car than a spl car. I can still hang with most systems out there. I am a big fan of SQ myself, just love good clean music.

Decent subs are always gonna rattle a car
. Try using a sound deadener to clean it up. I found a Dynamat trunk kit on Ebay for 60 shipped and it has probably been the best car audio investment I have made. -
Yeah, sound deadening material works wonders for rattles....but it adds weight. I kinda like the Cascade brand of liquid sound deadener, weighs less than conventional dynamat and works well.
-
liquid sound deadener works very well...

mulitpurpose expanding foam is the worst product on the market today. I hope you didnt ruin anything by using it.

multipurpose expanding foam. cheap and gets the job done.damn ricer! i was into the car systems for awhile, but then now all i want is some nice componants and a good cd player and that will do me just fine.

I have to agree, expanding foam is not a very good thing to use for sound deadening and can wreak havoc on any panel you spray it behind. Stick to the tried and true methods joel.

I used to have a huge stereo in my old Oldsmobile back in high school. Then I transferred it to my 1G DSM when I had that. Since then haven't bothered much with it because my car is a huge bitch too, so when I get a truck or nice dd, then I'll consider some stereo again.
