So I got my '65 Caddy Drop Top back on the road after installing the suspension and dropping in a LS motor. This is California, so I doubt that the top will ever be up.
While doing the swap, I ripped out the carpet as I had to raise the drive line tunnel quite a bit. We use the Dynamat Dynapad as a carpet pad to start with as it makes a great carpet pad.
The stereo gear that is going into the car is;
(2) JL 12TW-D8s in the trunk parallel wired to 2 ohms run by a VX100/1i
A set of JL three-ways in the front kicks, doors and the tweeters are in the dash run off a VX800/8i
Fiio M11 to hold the music
I have a pair of W7-12s that I was going to use, but the trunk on this big ol car got filled up quickly with the air system and two group 34s. The trunk shown in the photo below will be redone as everything was temp installed for fitment and I have two 3-gallon air tanks, one of them with the compressor inside to replace the shown 5 gallon tank and hopefully gain back some room.
This car has HUGE thick flat steel panels everywhere, so my question is;
* Being a convertible, should I be adding sound deadener to the inside of the door skins, under the Dynapad and off course the complete trunk?
And of course which one (ones?) as there are so many now, Dynamats, Rattletrap, Nick's Resonix and even Mobile Solutions has their own line now.
BTW, I met Nick out at Mobile Solutions earlier this year and wanted to talk with him about this particular subject, but as usual Bryan had us running and running and running! I even missed the end of the final night as I had a business meeting set that evening.
