First of all this is my first posting on this site so hello all of you! I really like the stuff that I have read here, you people really love your rides just like me.
I am looking to install a tight system in my trep and I have a few q's for all.
1. I've heard that the rear deck and the trunk lid have a tendency to rattle like hell once you get some serious sound moving through. Is this true and if it is have we all tried Dynamat and the like to see if still rattles or if it helps? I hope it does.
2. My second bible (crutchfield) which I only use for some specs and such, says that the doors will accomodate only a 4". What the hell is a 4" gonna do? I want to throw in 5 1/4" components. Has anyone done this and if you did, did you have to trim any material to get the speaker to fit? How did you det the grille covers off without bending the crap out of them?
3. Maybe it is just me, but around 45mph and on up, road noise starts to get to me. I want to use Dynamat like stuff (the real sh*t is way overpriced) and deaden all my doors. Is it farily easy to take the door panels off to access the inside skeleton to put down the sheets?
4. Finally, I have also heard that the trunk will eat the sound from your subs for lunch if you don't put ports or cut-outs in the rear deck or something. Now I want to be a little more classy than that. What I want to do is face the subs to fire to the front of the car and put like a port in behind the fold down arm rest in the rear seat. Now you see it now you don't. I was wondering if anyone has done this yet either or tried any projects of similar nature.
I have a 95 trep es with the stock ifinity system...not for long though. Let me know what you think! Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Jeff
