Mobileaudio25 Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I know a lot of people don't prefer using expanding foam on their rides and I'm somewhat one of them... How much difference CAN it make on earometer/spl meter. I know it depends on the setup, but I'm just wondering if its worth the time/mess/cost (not money)... I've done a firing forward sealed setup, and I'm in debate. I still get a good bit of trunk rattle.... Think it will be noticeable difference to use foam? Still have a little more work, looking a little poopy still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swordlordboy1234 Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 IMO sealing off makes a huge difference on how clean and accurate the bass sounds vs rear firing stuff. I will find out this summer about sealing off My old YouTube channel : http://www.youtube.com/user/SwordLords1234?feature=mhee My old build log : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/161872-96-accord-b2-sundown-sky-high-dc-power-re-re-build-for-heatwave/page-37 My New Build - http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/207041-2016-mazda-6-sql-build/ 2016 Mazda 6 Touring JL Fix 86 - OEM signal correction B2 prototype DSP 6to8 B2 Ref63 - 3 way active set 2 B2 Class H quattro's 1 B2 Zero.5R @.5 2 B2 HNv3 12 d2 B2 SLIP40 - Lithium in the trunk Northstar Group 35 under the hood 100ft 2/0 welding cable 30ft 4ga welding cable 20ft 8ga welding cable All stinger OFC speaker wire Soundrive custom RCA's Tons of attention to detail....

stroupe79 Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 honestly sealing it off with expanding foam is the way to go, alot of people will line the area with tape and foam on top of that.... seeing that you cut apart the opening for the backseat, it isn't going to hurt you much to foam it and seal it off completely... http://www.stevemead...cherokee-build/ 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Alpine CDE-hd148bt Alpine PKG-RSE2 PRV Audio (4) 6MB200 front/rear doors PRV Audio (4) TW350Ti dash/rear doors Kicker KX350.4 Obsidian Audio (1) 18 D4 v2 revamp (2) Stereo Integrity HT 18d2DC Audio 1.2k5.25ft^3 tuned @34hz revamp Infinite Baffle Cpillar AudioTechnix 60mil deadenerKnuKonceptz & SkyHigh wire (complete setup) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mobileaudio25 Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 It sounds extremely clean now, if it increases cleanliness anymore I would have quested this was an SQ setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DubNDodge Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I just sealed off from the start. I didn't want trunk rattle. This is how I did it. Made some side panels, with foam rope to seal it off.

Mobileaudio25 Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I'm grabbing some great stuff and some gorilla tape right now. I'll get it all sealed up and done right. I'll let you'd know what I notice tomorrow and let you know how it turned out ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poorfish88 Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 OP, Hella nice job. You went from not knowing if sealing off was worth the trouble. To looking like you've been sealing off trucks your whole life. Like I say "Shit Ain't hard". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
