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 just biting the bullet and doing the entire boot.... i did my whole boot except for the boot lid cuz i ran out of dynamat and money lolz but as soon as i get the cash for the rest of the dynamat, anywhere in the boot that doesnt have dynamat wil be done

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.

      Blue slip

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
