Ndnkobra Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Hey guys, long time since i've actually posted on here. I've recieved my 2 12' FI Q's a few months ago, and i have to say, great subs. Beastly handling, but what i'm about to show you is kind of pathetic. I took my first video of these subs, and i have to say it isn't the best, but it gets the general idea of what i need to work and improve on. First i'd like to say that i'm only 16 and i had minimal help in installing this system. Therefore i didnt have any money to invest in a deck or any half decent equipment , what can you do when you don't have money? So here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaACs2NjaEA Its not really a video to show off, but i'm seeing it as more of a review for a critique. You can already see that there are a couple of hate comments under there.Now if you guys can stick through that and watch that crappy video that i posted, you notice that everything in there is stock and that the plastic paneling is rattling like crazy. Any helpful ideas? I'm more interested in finding out how to get that plastic panel to stop hitting against the back windshield, because thats what creates the shitty noise. I was thinking of trying some sound deadening under the panel, then using some silicon adhesive to seal the panel down. Some others have told me to see if i can some kind of weather stripping in between the panel and glass, but its a tight squeeze. If anyone has any input on how to make this system any better, i'd be glad to hear some responses. Thanks! some of you that may hang around ***, may have already seen this topic!

Ndnkobra Posted October 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 ha i said the same on his youtube, commented* to poster, get with me on that amp, i want it Sorry man, i love that amp and i can't part with it! But i was looking on eD earlier and it seems that they reduced the price of their nine.1 amp, certainly cheaper than what i bought mine for. also checked out your vids, those are some mean subs, i'm a bit a jealous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary2k7 Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Something you could try to shut up that back panel, shove cotton/cotton balls into it on slap it back down, thats what i did to my 05 altima and it made a HUGE difference and its a very cheap way to do it. It may work for now til you find out a better idea. But Good Luck man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imfrom210texas Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 . Some others have told me to see if i can some kind of weather stripping in between the panel and glass, but its a tight squeeze. I'd go this route, and use a tool, like a "5 in 1" painting tool to push the strip in the gap. I think it can be done without too much hassle. If you do this, just make sure the strip is thick enough so that it cant be pushed in from bass once you start bangin again. Good luck man Quote If Morgan Freeman narrated a story on how great AIDS is, I would be captivated and tempted to contract it myself. His voice just fills my soul with warm fuzzies and puppy tears.

Baydestrian Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 I was going to go with foam weatherstripping but its sticky on one side so I don't want to use it...I just put some piece on the back of my license plate to help with that noise... I need to find some type of stripping/rubber that I can push into the gap...the rear deck noise has to be more annoying than my rearview mirror Quote 2015 Mazda 6 JVF Customz 4.0 Proto 15>Wolfram W4500 @ .5ohm 2 Sundown Neo 6.5 + 2 CT Meso Tweeters (Front) x Kicker KS6.5 (Rear)>JL Audio VX400/4i NSB-AMG35 (front) / 40ah Lithium Headway (Rear) built by Erni Audio & Electrical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
