Post your speaker set up.

Dont know much about audio but i was wondering about SOUND DEADNING!

has anyone had any bad complaints about QUICK ROOF from a local lowes/homedopet?

or is it just crap and just stick to dynamat?

any words of advice possitive or negative are welcome since ive never touched the item.

just thinking about purchasing to lower some exhaust noises in the cabin.

[GSXRJJordan]

I'm sure Toby will chime in eventually, I'm very happy using SecondSkin Damplifier Pro and Luxury Liner. Damplifier Pro is a mass-loaded vinyl (like Dynamat Extreme) that stops panels from resonating, commonly used on roofs and trunks, but I put it on just about everything. Luxury Liner is a closed-cell foam that 'soaks' up noise inside the cabin, designed for floorboards, trunks, wheelwells, etc.

Another thing that's nice is DEI's Floor and Tunnel shield, which does sound absorption and heat. We're a dealer for DEI and their BoomMat products as well.

Great info in this thread, i need advice, If i go with the 5 channel amp pushing 80x4 RMS and 400x1 mono, would i need to add a capacitor, and if i do, how big? I dont want to get another battery if i dont have to, sorry if its a newb question, i just want a nice a neat sound

No, you will be just fine without a capacitor. Typically we don't do caps until we get to the 1000+ watt RMS mono block amplifiers. Even then, if it's a quality amplifier it will have a fair amount of capacitance built-in. Your average car audio consumer won't even notice the difference with a cap anyway.

what he said having done the Big 3 and a decent battery helps out.

Thank you for the help guys.......

Post your Aftermarket Stereo Setup here!!!!!!!
Looking to see what everyone tries and likes.
what are you using?
-Amp
-Sub
-Speakers
-Head unit
-Location of each(i.e head unit in glove box)
-Capacitor
-Uses(i.e Track or DD)
Thanks for your inputs in advance!

oh and Im starting with a completely stripped, welded diff, DD s13 hatch any suggestions?!?!

[Milspec180]

nadda bump!

[Reece]

My first suggestion would be put your interior back in

Well let me rephrase. I have door panels and a dash.

[xHeavySS]

is the xdi805 400watts rms or peak?

[kasperjd4]

Don't laugh, I'm not a pro in any way or claim to be.. but this is the piece I made to fit in the back of my vert. I bought the car with no interior at all so I thought I'd do this instead of trying to find original vert parts.

The whole thing cost me less than 20dollars. The amps and sub were already in the trunk of the car. I just built the box:






Almost fitted perfectly, just had to build some support to hold it in perfectly.

The 5th channel is 400 watts RMS at 2 ohm. You will never, ever see me rate something in peak/max power

[kingkilburn]

As a person that does sound for raves I HATE how speaker and amp companies rate their products. Shit is all over the place and I don't trust any of it

[xHeavySS]

what would be a good set of components to go with the arc 5 channel and a jl10w6? i always wanted to try out the sundown set, looking for best quality for under 200

Your not going to find any components that are above just average for under $200. I could do the Hybrid Audio Imagine series for $249... which these will compete with other manufacturer's component sets that cost twice as much retail.

Also I'm try to make a list of everything I need for a budget.

Broadfield, what are your thoughts about those universal speaker baffles? I've seen ABS plastic and foam material ones.

Was thinking of buying these to put in the 'vert at all 4 speakers. Currently has 6.5" all-around with eBay door adapters. Would these baffles actually improve sound quality as they claim to do or just a waste of money?

Don't do it! The speaker is designed to use the cavity of the door or trunk as it's "enclosure". You will kill all of your mid-bass if you use them.

Good to know. Thanks.

Here's a speaker mod that I haven't seen on another 240sx.

[IMG][/IMG]

I cut a sheet of Medium Density Fiberboard (used for speakerboxes), wrapped it in a textured vinly, and squeezed a 10" sub and two 6.5" speakers into the hole from the trunk passthrough. The sheet of MDF is mounted using two bolts, two large washers, and the existing threaded holes from the back seat latch mechanism (can't see them in this pic).

Looking to get a decent sound out of my HU

Want to get aftermarket speakers and amp to power them

What features are you looking for? I need to know a lot more info than looking for one with "decent sound": single DIN, double DIN, touch screen, no touch screen, NAV, BT, SAT, HD, steering wheel controls, bad boy EQ etc. etc? Another helpful fact would be what your budget is?

Ok, I need info man!

What vehicle is this for? If it's an S13, is it a hatch, coupe or vert? How many pairs of speakers are you wanting? As for the amp, are you implying that you want it to be able to also power a sub in addition to the mid/high speakers or you just need it to power a sub?... or just the mid/high speakers?
