I've got about 3 big sheets of dynamat to go in the boot for my Sub install, and want to know where to stick it for the best effect.

I've already done the parcel shelf, so I'm thinking - boot lid, back (under parcel shelf) and any left over will go on the floor, plus i'll save a bit for any other rattles that pop up. Any other suggestions?

Hi mate... You need to cover as much area as you possibly can with the dynamat. You might want to think about covering both sides of the boot, the fuel cap, the side panels under the rear windows, behind the back seat and depending on how much bass you want to run, you might want to think about sticking some of that dynamat on the back of your number plate. I wouldn't bother too much with the boot floor, it is already covered with sound deadener (or it should be). And if you have done the top of your parcel shelf, don't bother about doing the bottom, that's a little over kill.

I hope this helps you out.

Great, thanks mate. I ended up covering the boot lid and a little of the sides as well. My amp is currently dead so saving the rest until I can replace it, then put it where needed to eliminate any rattles.

I would suggest attempting to cover as much of the boot as you possibly can. And depending on how much bass you want to have in your boot, would determine how many layers of the stuff you want to put in. In my car, the final plan is to have 2 X 12's and 2 X 10's, somehow fitting in the boot, so I have gone with 2-3 layers all round. Yes I know, may be a little bit of overkill, but the vibrations will stop and the sound quality will be much more improved. Also, if money is a problem, try searching for the stuff on E-Bay, or even google this product "B-QUIET". There is a website you can go to and buy it online, I just can't remember it off the top of my head. The products are much cheaper, buying it from the US, however it's the freight cost that will kill you.

Check that out and see how you go.

dude sounds like ur gunna have a crazy system but u do realise having 2 x 12's and 2 x 10's u will actually lose sound quality due to the subs running in a different phase and pushing different power and bass levels..... so i would suggest goin for all of the same size subs.... also if u are after bigger bass sometimes more subs isnt always the way to go, sometimes better to go with just 2 x 12's and get the boxes built to spec for the optimum SPL performance levels for the particular subs u r goin to be using..... but either way good luck with the system... just thought i might offer some advice..... keen to see some pics of the finished product

Watch out when you do your boot lid, It makes it really heavy.

I have to be careful when I close mine otherwise it'll slam really hard and the clips pop off the lining. plus it would break your hand or arm easily if it was in the way.

It would be making it better with mine, no wing on a 32 boot, you have to watch and hold onto it or make sure your head is out of the way when it opens..

hey heres a pic of my boot all done by gt autosound in adelaide if u have any ideas on how 2 get the crap out let me know cos it ways a ton and i want my boot lol , previous owner did it not me btw. :cool:

Did you buy that from a bloke up in Golden Grove? I looked at that car when I was buying mine, it looks nice and clean.

I reckon you'd need a hammer, chisel and a few hours work to get all that out. It's the MDF and fiberglass that weights a lot.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
