was just looking at my trunk and seen that the back little board that sistes over the spare tire in the trunk and through the rest of the trunk is all fucked up...but my queston is i have access to cardboard thats like 1/2 thick, you guys think that, that would be a good replacement?i ll carpet it and everything too

do you have the plastic that runs between the taillights? its gonna piss you off to no extent with the rattles it makes.
you're going to have a hard time fitting 6.5's in the rear deck because the plastic that the speaker mounts to has all kinds of weird shapes that block the magnet from aftermarket speakers. it needs to be cut out.
if you want to get as loud as possible, you have to fire the box forward, seats down or taken out if they don't fold (like mine). you also need to seal off the edges around the box so no air or light can get through the cabin into the trunk and vice versa.
i have unfoldable seats, so the ground i used was the middle bolt on the bottom of the rear seats that goes straight into the body. sand the paint off til its shiny and you're golden. you can also use the rear strut tower if you dont have that bolt im talking about. but its a pain in the ass to sand the paint off because its like layered metal.
edit: forgot to mention that if you DO fire forward, there is a lip in the metal that makes the height like 13" or so. i dont remember exactly. you could cut this out, as i plan on doing for my next box. i dont know what this will do for structural rigidity though. its also a pretty small hole in general, so it has to be cut out also.
thxs man i m planning on having this car for a while so i m going to do a majority of the preliminary things for a big system now so than when i do upgrade it will be alot simpler.....and as for cutting things out thats not a problem for me my dads a sheetmetal mech for american airlines....anytime i start doing something with metal working his skills help out alot
and i do have folding seats in mine i just remembered so i ll have to see what all needs to be done

dude sorry to tell ya but you prob won t be able to sell it but bump for you anyways...might just post it on your local craigslist prob can sell it there

the link i posted above was for the b-stock...
i was talking about the second skin b stock man
-
i used audiotechnix deadener...i bought some "b"stock..which was just as good as the standard...it had a few wrinkles in it..thats all...but you can get it for about $40 for 25sq.ft of the b-stock if they have any...it covered all 4 of my doors and hatch...thats not completely covered...just big sections then a few smaller areas and as much of it as I could get my hands into...lots of nooks and crannies...
thxs man looks like some good shit and at that price i might try to get like 50sq-ft and do like everything i possibly can
Hey he asked for cheap. I gave him cheap ahahaha. But that shit is if your desperate.
Audiotechnix is awesome! I love that shit
i m trying as cheap as i can for now man might end up putting a whole nother system in later but i want to have everything deadened so if i do i don t have to deal with a bunch of rattle later
-
second skin is legit. pick up some b stock pro!
where would i get the b stock from?
-
do not, I repeat, DO NOT use peel and seal. I made the mistake of using it and deeply regret it. It might work all right at first, but then it will start smelling and falling off if it is exposed to any kind of heal. And the stuff is nearly impossible to remove.I dont recomend expanding foam. At least do peal and seal. And box designs you have to test, every car is different. Will oyu be keeping your back seats down or up?
don t worry i m not going to use peal and seal.....a friend of mine used it and it didn t help him at all and his car still smells like it
-
sealing the box forward from the trunk will help alot...gets rid of alot of ass rattle too...you can use cardboard to make templates to fill the gaps on the side of the box...so you dont have to spray foam the hell outta the trunk...i would also suggest using real sound deadener or sound dampener instead of trying to use spray foam...
aero ports are the easier option for tunable boxes...i will tell you now with the equipment you listed your going to come nowhere close to sounding as loud as 2 15s...i dont care what kind of box you build...not trying to be a dick
i kno i m not going to be super loud....i just want that level where people are surprised that its only one ten.........and whats a good deadener that not ridiculously priced?
I dont recomend expanding foam. At least do peal and seal. And box designs you have to test, every car is different. Will oyu be keeping your back seats down or up?
so no go on expanding foam...whats a good deadener the not crazy expensive?
-
You got a running car for $150 you sure you arnt missing a zero, damn. But anyway if you want flexible tuning an aero Port is the simplest way to do it.
Also, off possible you should seal it off from the trunk and fire it into the interior.
ya i got i hella cheap runs a lil rough but its either a cloged injector or a new rotor and cap, i got some junk yard injectors to replace them and of corse a new rotor and cap are pretty cheap...
but on to the audio.....would i port it through the back deck or just next to the sub, or even though the seat? i d like for it not to interfere with being able to have back passengers if all possible...
-
well just bought a 5 speed 95 corolla, picked it up for 150 but it needs a clutch and had a lil bit of body damage. i already fixed one of the worst things on the body with a replaced door that was the same color. it does need a new back driver side door, a trunk lid, possible a same color passenger fender but i already have a black one, maybee a hood and front bumper but i don t think it will need them all and if it does i can get them cheap at the local yard. i already got the clutch and paid for it to be put in, and i m planning on doing the timing belt this month sometime.
but on to the system
i already have a single infinity 100.3 dvc 10inch that is a pretty good little sub a ppi 500.1 amp to run it some where around 250 300 rms, power rf 4 inch door speakers, possible do some other rf speakers and another amp later, i do already have a lot of powerbass items including 1100.5, 300.2x, and some power bass 6x9s i might use but i m not doin anything but the rf speakers and infinity amp.
i do have an almost brandnew kenwood deck and all of my wiring also(everything except speaker wire)
but what i m trying to do is show people at my school that you don t need to have 2 15s to be loud if u play it smart.
i m going to expanding foam the trunk and deaden it and the doors hopefully the roof also but my main concerns our on the box
what do you guys think would be the best box designs? i m planing ported but i d like it to be tunable, so would i use a aeroport? or?
keep in mind i kno this isn t going to be crazy super ass loud but i think, hope, and pray that it will be decent

Was they actually in a vehicle? The junkyards around me pull all nonstock audio stuff out of vehicles then ask usually a stupid amount for old ass equipment. One of my friends works at a junkyard a bit father away and is always getting free shit. Last week he got me 19ft of ofc 1/0 and an oldschool kenwood eq for free.
ya they were in a vehicle and normally they do but the dumbass that work there never rlly take any time to look closely so i just take a lil bit of time when i m there to look at everything and check
-
well was just walkin round the u pull yard today lookin for just whatever, and cam across these the newer ones arn t that great but the powers i was real happy about and for 7 bucks a piece not bad either. but what do u guys think?
-
it is because all public schooling know is to make it look like the kids are learning. its all about state and national testing, not what the kids actually learn. like above, you learn material to take a test, not material that is truly important to know and understand. any who have young kids in the 7 yr old range or less, home schooling is a valid option in today's time, will probably learn a lot more too (public school is good for socializing though and character building). not saying public school doesn't teach you anything, but they don't teach effectively as they should, and a lot of teachers just have their head up their own asses anyway.
i feel stupid about putting the thing in mine about testing scores now
-
don t lump all kids in with this guys....i kno i could answer every question in this video not even thinking about it...and i would expect 99% of kids at my school to be able to also...my school has had some of the highest testing scores in our district in the last couple of years too...i think its just that school it looks alot larger than mine(about 50 kids a graduating class) so that could have something to do with it too
