peel and seal sound deadener?

pulled the headliner out i hate doing it cuz of the visor monitors and flip down have to come out

some older stuff i got from andrew when we did the 4 12"s its still sticking so i left it in there

as you can see i ran out and only did the rear of the roof but not for long

old shit need to rip it down and do it over

everything is covered now but didnt take a pic of it just this then the camera died but got everything back in and the tvs working took it to the park to test it and im shocked of what one layer did to all that rattle when i get some more money im goin back for a second layer

Yes... Rattles less = great ...

Now ... is it louder?

wont know until a show but sounds a lot better without rattle

yea ...

I'd have mixed feelings about it if my score dropped significantly ....

^^^^That is some good shit tha!!!!!

LMAO ... Those are great ...

is that what you do with important papers that you need to get rid of? lol

not always we do have a shredder in the house those papers were actually from my work holman

Have you metered this yet? You break a 150 yet?

no 150 yet but im trying to get there

we will see how close tomorrow

yea i cant wait try so many things

Its gonna be really hard to break a 150 given all the cabin losses in your vehicle ... All that flex in those panels, but moreover, the windows... is not a good thing really, of course you knew this from the getgo, so its an understood thing already, but on top of that, you have all that air space in the cabin, which again, works against you.

I wouldn't seriously expect a 150 coming out of most setups until a heafty amount of acoustical treatment is done to the vehicle and/or alot of dollars dropped on electrical upgrades, which I think is what's holdin you back the most. Considering that you could feed those subs 4 times the amount of power cleanly, thats a theoretical 6db gain on its own.

What you could do, is rebuild the box ... From what I saw and recalled everything was louder than hell the way you have/had it when I was in batesville, so you've got a great template right now. But consider the alternative option of building a new box that resonates at your vehicle's most natural resonance mode instead of having an enclosure that runs for daily purposes. Anyways, making a fart box, is what I'm getting at. The increase of efficiency provided by the narrower passband of the enclosure should raise your deebeez by ... well... idk by how much exactly, but I've seen it rise as much as 7db. If this doesnt appeal to you though (which is understandable), then there are the other options...

150 isn't that hard to get if it is in the right vehicle, I was hitting a 148.5 on my s10 with just 2 12's and right before I sold it, I was about to put two 15's in it and watch it hit 150's all day long. The box will almost always make or break you!!!!

well i sold my old tires and going to try buy a 250 amp alternator and go from there

was that on a tl or Ac mic cuz my 2 mojo 12's were doing a 153 also but that was on an Ac mic at dbfordollars
and on term lab a 148, so yes u can do it, I had stock electrical no added stuff and only 2 Memphis 1100.1's

It did a 155.7 on ac mic and 148.5 on Termlab

sealed on the dash is where it gets hard

Unfortunately he's not got those 2 18's in an S10 , which, obviously is significantly (acoustically/physically) different than that gigantic landboat he's driving now.

well i went from 147.9 to 148.5 and didnt change power

I'd say it was the dampening of the vehicle by the peal and seal. Less losses in the cabin.... = more deebeez.... Go you

I'd say if you didnt have all those windows you'd be there already actually... find a way to tighten those up, or do some more peal n seal if anything... You may be able to nail that 150 without having to do electrical upgrades.

Your subs are also breaking in too. The first time you metered they were stiff as hell. Sure they could still use a bit more too. The number you are doing in that big old leaky vehicle is a very respectable number. Especially with as musical as it is.
