I have 140 sq ft of SS Damplifier which I am putting all over the max. Kevin (kpr10is) is installing the deadener due to his extensive knowledge of the 5th gen max. Now onto the pix...

looks good, how much that cost ya?

 

more than soundlines but less than germaniums.

 

NICE. I have to do this this summer.

Your carpet is nice and clean. Did you shampoo it when it was out of the car? I'm **** and will probably get new carpet...

 

...and i cant wait til its done. one less car i gotta work on in the fu(kin heat in other peoples driveways

 

Come to Jersey. Not so much heat, lots more rain.

And garbage dumps. And smelly factories.

 

lol hell no. I wanted to but due to time constraints (finals and stuff) I just tried some cheap carpet cleaner. I thought it was dirty but I am glad it doesnt look too bad. I highly recommend it because tapping the roof makes me feel like I have a quality car. Had a quick rain test and heard ZERO rain drops on the roof.

 

How long did it take you guys? I can imagine that taking maybe all of one day.

 

well it took about 3 hours to disassemble the car, do the floor and roof. we also put the headliner back on in that 3 hours. it took a good while to put the car back together and deaden the A pillars and B pillars. I helped move stuff around which saved a few minutes.

 

Ya sounds about right. With a helper and a nice open driveway on a nice day this can be done in the main portion of a day.

 

lookin forward to fixing the rear deck/c pillars and doin up the doors big time before my beloved rainbows get here. then the trunk will bring up the rear (no pun intended).

 

Have you already deadened your rear deck?

 

Lookin good, dude!

 

well I did the "foam" trick following kojiro's write up, but with the bass I have the foam becomes useless. I am looking for a new rear deck. I want to screw down a piece of birch over the bose cutout then deadener over the whole rear deck. my ghetto bose cutout simply did not give me the results I wanted.

 

thanks man. But nowhere near your install.

 

Awesome dude! keep up tha good work

Slick got any more pics of your ride?

 

edit: I'll take more pix soon.

 

more pix of the rear doors done...

Nice work man.

BTW, do you have 300zx calipers? Or know someone that does on a 5th gen in Gainesville? I was there a few weeks ago to sign up for my apartment(Melrose)

 

nah stock calipers. nobody that I know has them. Gville is not known for its audio enthusiasts.

 

Oh, well I saw a black 5th gen with the 300zx calipers and it looked to be 12.6/13" rotors.

 

Nobody that I know of either, unless theyre not on the org. But Ill be looking into a simple brake upgrade once my systems done as Ill need some more stopping power. Stock brakes ftl.

 

Yeah, I have the 300zx upgrade too Well worth it.

 

How many square feet did you use/buy? What kind did you use? (Looks amazing, btw)

 

 

Ehhh.... wooops!
Not sure how I missed that. =/

 

no problem. Finished half the trunk today...plan on finishing it up and the rear deck and trunk lid this weekend too.

 

Have you driven it yet? How is the road noise?

 

Post some pics of the trunk so we can admire...

 

I will post pix once it is done. I have driven with it, but the rear deck is off so there is plenty of road noise.

 

Gotcha, at least I know I will have some Maxima people in gville when I move down.

 

you feg...

 

excellent work on the car. Did you drive it yet to test the road noise now? And what was the road noise like before deadening? Is there a big difference? I am considering this as a summer project.

 

Good job man. I've already completed the wheel wells, roof, a & b pillars and doors. Floor and rear deck are next with the trunk being last.

 

dam Rich nice work... Im in imprssed

 

Hey newb reread the first post where he said I did the work...besides the trunk, of which I dont think any pics are up yet.

 

i meant nice work as in his whole approach to sound deadning the car

lol

neways good work kevin. You still got those kicker amps?

 

Yeah...find me a buyer for em

 

and for my AVN

 

Great work Rich!
