tdc3187 Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Just got a new car and I want to put a small system in. Before I start the system I would like to throw some second skin on it. My goals are sound quality and thermal insulation, without adding hundreds of pounds in just deadening material. I purchased the car to save some cash on gas so i don't want to add more weight then I have to. Yet I know the importance of sound deadening. The system will be a single 12". 5x7 in the factory locations, a new deck and amp everything. The car is a 2008 Ford Fusion SEL. I am thinking I want to add damplifier lite everywhere (doors, trunk, floorboards, headliner), then to offset the south florida sun a layer of heat wave pro on the headliner and floorboards, hopefully that will help acheive a super queit drive too. Is this the best route to go?

jbondox Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Sounds like you have a plan there, not too sure about the thermal, as the windows are the main culprit for the heat, and since the windshield isn't treated it still gets in even if you tint the rest of the windows. Ant just helped me out with a selecting the correct materials for a new Porsche 911.

tdc3187 Posted October 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Just ordered 30sq.ft for the front doors. Was going to do the headliner first but, the speakers I was looking at went on sale and I couldn't pass them up. I guess the I'll see how much I use in the doors to see what how much i need for everything else.
