Chaosgrunt Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Hey guys. Well before i commit to sealing off the trunk from the cabin, i was wanting to see if i could just use some metal tape as a temporary test. Mainly too get an idea of how much louder it will be.

Noobtastic14 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Its not strong enough. Not worth the time, effort, and wasted resources in my opinion. You just won't know for sure until you commit. -Drew Quote I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.

Chaosgrunt Posted March 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Great lol. Well then, i guess ill just commit. Im gonna be rebuilding some time soon anyways but oh well. So what sould i use to seal? Sound deadener and expanding foam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noobtastic14 Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Those and fiberglass work well. At one point, I even bolted MDF to the flat spots and filled in the seams with adhesive silicone or foam. -Drew Quote I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.

SnowDrifter Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Mock up an extended baffle with cardboard, trace and cut on mdf, secure to box. Fill in the rest of the gaps with expanding foam / fiberglass if need be Quote ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fill in the rest of the gaps with expanding foam / fiberglass if need be Could but that would be too much work for this crappy pre-fabricated box. Maybe i should go ahead and build the box for my new system but just run the current subwoofers in its place till the RE xxx's come. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDrifter Posted March 27, 2012 Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 Don't even bother until you have a proper box. It makes all the difference and you wouldn't want to go through the same thing twice would you?
