I was bored tonight so I started to sound deaden my trunk. All we had at the shop was Stinger Roadkill so I used that. I had almost enough to do the entire trunk, but not quite. The trunk will take just about two boxes when fully finished. I have two more boxes coming in to do the rear seat floor, rear sides and the front door skins. Hopefully that will deaden the car up pretty good and maybe get rid of a couple of rattles at the same time.

 

Sorry for the noob question, but what did you do? And what is the purpose of it?

 

The silver stuff is a layer of sound deadening material. Once my system is installed the sub will rattle the car to hell. The sound deadening will help to lessen that as well as reduce road noise.

 

Subscribed, I am very impressed. I hope to be able to do what you have done someday

 

My Alpine equipment arrived today. I was able to score a great deal on this stuff from my rep, so I am using all Alpine stuff in my car. I've always been a big fan of Alpine ever since I first got into the car audio business back in the 80's, so it was only natural to put Alpine parts in the G. This system will be very modest compared to systems that I've had in the past, but I find that at 40 I no longer need to be heard from 3 blocks away. As long as it sounds crystal clear and has decent power I'll be fine. Here are some pics of my headunit and nav install that I did the first weekend I had the car.

 

dude that is so tight... what the hell do you do for a living? whatever it is hook me up

 

I bet you get tired of answering the same questions huh? Hahah read the thread man, he's in car audio. Speaking of which, I'm looking at going double din this summer, any recommendations? I am also a big alpine fan, got my cda 9886 in right now. I'm looking at the iva w505, know anything about it? Its expensive, hope its worth it.

 

damn looks like its going to be a sweet system!

 

The 505 is a great unit. I was thinking about upgrading my 205 to the 505, but Alpine will be releasing a new line of DD units without a cd player sometime this year. That will lower the price of the unit and since I only listen to XM or my ipod I no longer need a cd player.

 

What do you have planned to do after the i.c.e.?

 

I don't know what you mean by i.c.e.

 

This sounds like something I should be considering, but do you have an estimate of how much it will drop? If were talkin' 100-150 bucks then you might as well go all out, especially since I do occasionally listen to CDs that my friends bring in the G. But if it was closer to 200-400, I could be interested.

 

I don't know yet. I've only seen a picture of the radio and I didn't care for it to much, but my rep said that there will be several models coming out later this year.

 

Well considering I wont have the money for any DD for quite awhile anyway, I guess I'll wait it out for these new models. Thanks for the inside info!

 

sorry. in car entertainment or stereo system.
