  1. stickers add the DBzzzzz/ at least -3db without the sticker...
  2. your not overthinking this at all..... pretty sure, like you even said yourself, you have one of the most common trucks on the road. this is not a new problem... or even a problem at all- by now could have rearranged your engine bay and jammed multiple batteries in there... but now tell us about how xs is too expensive and youll just get an craptacular poop battery blah blah blaaaaaaahhh
  3. "perfect fit" is anything that fits and has the specs you want. if you cant figure out how to get different size in because its not exactly right.... welp, then you need a oem group 65blahblah. maybe get the guy at walmart to suggest one and have them install it while your at it teehee 😜
  4. what is the advantage of "your" product compared to 3M Dual Lock Reclosable Fastener SJ3550
  5. if you are running your mids off HU power I'd suggest getting an external amp to power them.... otherwise I agree with what was said above
  6. define "solid as fuck" like when you hit it it goes thud thud.... LOL yes, butyl will lose some of it's dampening properties over time in even normal conditions. but I was getting more at the fact that it isnt necessary to apply any heat to get it to adhere properly when used within the working temp 40+. will it be easier to work with on a 100 degree summer day? yes... is it necessary? no-
  7. quality dampener should have no problem adhering properly at the temperatures in question. leaving the dampening material indoors then taking individual sheets as they are needed should be more than adequate. keep in mind that excessive heat will break down the butyl causing it to have less effective dampening properties.
  8. this is before fosgate joined with rockford cool stuff indeed
  9. just to play devils advocate... isnt this just like asking for noise violations??? if you install this, are you responsible if he crashes??? thing looks dangerous-
  10. my battery tender charges to 14.8... then maintains 13.4 until you disconnect it... disconnected the batteries sit at 12.7
  11. It's exactly why I quoted what I did. Part of my price was tracking down the exact same car, hire it out for a coupe hours so I could mock up the pillars. now that's going the extra mile.... but op will probably get some warped pillars with misaligned drivers... that is if he gets back anything at all-
  12. when did he say he would have them back to you? if a date was never given...
  13. https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc3/v/t1.0-9/249079_332246276902162_418183602_n.jpg?oh=6fa0605aa5bad5384250c3db3e5213e2&oe=552A99B8&__gda__=1430409703_3d10fc4002e06e4854b99be622bf3205
  14. if you want to test how steady your hands are you could try to solder the ribbon wire yourself... there are a bunch of videos online showing tips and tricks to do so.... also there is stuff called wire glue, which is basically conductive paint, might want to give it a try- of course only if the warranty is void....
  15. here is a breakdown of the general principles behind sound deadening. Its geared toward home construction but the principles are still the same- http://www.tmsoundproofing.com/soundproofing-principles.html
  16. closed cell foam and some adhesive spray will do wonders- even foam weather stripping will do.... even felt material/stripping can be used in tight spots.....
  17. it will stop the box from vibrating in turn your amp wont vibrate (as much)... theres obviously enough energy there to cause the vibrations hence why you made this post......
  18. i have always bolted to the frame... voilia, minimal vibration plus db gain- would also like to add that the rubber washer things will do next to dick for something like this. you would need vibration isolators/coupling similar to ones used in high end home theaters but much more robust-
  19. is the box affixed to the car in some way? if not i would suggest doing so-
  20. Historical Basis You see, the myth that concrete drains batteries does have some historical basis. Many, many years ago, wooden battery cases encased a glass jar with the battery inside. Any moisture on the floor could cause the wood to swell and possibly fracture the glass, causing it to leak. Later came the introduction of the hard rubber cases, which were somewhat porous and had a high-carbon content. An electrical current could be conducted through this container if the moist concrete floor permitted the current to find an electrical ground. The wise advice of the old days to "keep batteries off concrete" has been passed down to us today, but it no longer applies because of the advanced technology of today’s batteries.
