...sound is simply a form of energy. By reducing the energy flowing to the roof and vibrating the hell out if it, it stays in the cabin.

man i have some insane road noise in the 6th gen. i think a nice layer of deadening on the floor will help...eh Dan? your car must be stupidly quiet now with all that deadening you have.

ok what about for road/wind/etc...will it help quiet the max down u think enough to warrant doing it?

Ehhhhh...a good deal, yes, but you should use Second Skin Overkill for that.

I just want to quiet down the max and I figure deadening is "thicker" and would do a better job. the heat tolerance is only 225 degrees F and it gets real hot here in Fl I am afraind it might fall down over time.

There, the trunk, and the seat bottoms in the rear.

I just got my comp vr's in today and they sound really well.. I was suprised given there not broken in... says in the "manual" they take two weeks to break in at low volume..
My bro. used to have 2 JL 12w3's in the same size box, suprisingly they sound as loud as those...

Something that kept the little ones at bay on long trips, they may have them at some museums now...... Probably next to something called record players and cassettes...
