Wiring up my system

[Peter]

yeah, unless im mistaken the rattle from somewhere else. but im pretty sure, cuz when i open the trunk to listen for it, it stops

[Gunman]

ok try this, close the trunk, pop the seats down and give a listen, actually grab the bars and see if it stops, i have a feeling its coming from elsewhere.

That rattle sound, Does it come from the actually bars themsleves clanking together? Or does it come from the actual joints that connect at the ends? If it is from the bars themselves clanking together you can dynamat the one bar. Why dynamat two bars when its only from one clanking against the other?

How to dynamat it? Thats the easy part. Just cut it in long sections with a width about 2 inches. You can get a sheet of dynamat for like 15-20 bucks depends on where you go.

You could possibly take the cheap mans way out, by finding a old section of carpet use a light coating of spray glue and place it there.

Hope it helps.....

check out what i did in 6 hours! damn, im a slow worker. my fingers hurt... this stuff is great, it sticks really good and i can tell the difference already when driving and listening to my music. i got 76sq ft for 80 bux. not bad. its called raammat, get it on ebay.

im gonna start my rear panel tomorrow, probably do 2-3 layers...cuz thats where most the rattle's from

[Gunman]

wow im impressed thats a very good clean job, good work pete, need a job?

[Peter]

haha, actually, i do need a job.

[BurningSolara]

That is a great job! Doors are the only thing im weary of dynamatting.
Was it hard? I mean I did my whole floor from the floor wells all the way to the split seat opening in 8 hours ( with help ).

Anything I should like out for? Any problems you ran into with the solara doors? Save me the time and trouble.

[Gunman]

8 hours? wow im not charging enough

[Peter]

6 hours. how much do you charge?

[Peter]

i finally cleaned up that mess i made.

before

after


i feel so much better now!

[Gunman]

muuuuuuuuuuuch better

[Ac CoRp.]

Go with 4 guage Power wire much better cause your amp will pull more power from the Battery

[guest]

i didn't really read all the postings, but i would say go with at least 4 gauge or lower...oh yea, make sure you have a capacitator, otherwise ur gonna have problems especially if ur using a high power system. im gonna change to 0 gauge wire sometime soon.....and some more juice
