rockford powers 6x9 in back
rockford punch 12 inch sub
Rockford monoblock amp
Audio response 4 chan amp...

thats my system lol nothin special but it gets the job done and i believe is making me slightly deaf... lol

yeah spent some of today fixing the stuff my subs broke.
put more lucky bands on around the rear veiw mirror( glued it with araldite and super glue but it wont hold, the light covers vibrate.
used a tube of liquid nails, some silicone and some rubber under the boot bracing
knocked out the insert that the bolts hold the rear spoiler in with just enough for the bolt to rattle on the spoiler so have superglued it.... hope it works.
siliconed the rear part of the roof lining
put some thin strips of mounting double sided tape on the underside of the rear top brake light cover and replaced the plastic screw that holds it in.
removed the black plastic from behind the rear seat so the bass flows in the cabin a bit more and takes some pressure out of the boot(just looks a little worse behind the sub, u can see the foam from the back of the seat
the drivers side parcel shelf mount had broken and slipped out from under the screw so i put a washer on there and did it up tight.
i use the ashtray as a coin holder but they rattle heaps!!!! i got this bit of hard foam that jams in there and stops the coins from rattling.

still have rattles i think but dont want to turn subs on whilst all the glue, silicone and liquid nails are all drying, fun fun

hehe.. you won't get rid of every single rattle.. trust me .. i know

as long as i get rid of most of them so i cant hear them over the music and it dosent sound shite outside the car lol. is that last pic of under the dash? i would dynamat but i it will add weight to my car and cost me money.

maybe i could just buy a little bit. in the parts fto i had they had dynamat between the bracing in the boot lid....... would that help much?

That mustve set you back so much mr-c and cost so much lol.

mm.. the weight isn't that much .. even through the whole car is equivalent to 3 bulk packs @ 9kg each ..

if you're serious about the weight loss, get rid of the 18" chromies & run some lightweight 15-16" rims .. remove the cd player, climate control, front & rear speakers, amp, ditch the seats & get a lighter driver seat & don't carry passengers they're extra weight! .. carbon bonnet, bootlid, FG front bar, rear bar, quarter panels .. get rid of all the interior, spare wheel, parcel shelves, replace front/rear windshields with lightweight perspex, lightened flywheel / pulleys, sump .. only run with 1/4 tank of fuel at any time should I go on??

TBH IMHO if you haven't done any of that cause you can't do without all of the creature comforts or it's too much of dent in the wallet, I'm sure an extra 30kgs of sound deadening isn't going to make much of a difference to your 1/4 mile times but.... it makes a helluva big difference to ride comfort & road noise that you wouldn't believe

or, not to mention .. chuck a great big leafblower on the side of your engine..

Bahah yeah was just saying how much did it set you back mate?

I have done 1/2 of what is on that list

id run between a quarter and half unless i had a surge tank if i was on a track. i havnt got chromies i have enkei 17's so i think there pretty light, dont carry passangers if i want performance, not a big fan of c/f and its dear as+ i want an all rounder.

driving the car today and the sound system sounded awesome, i think it was mainly because of that peice of black plastic i removed behind the backseat and all the fixing of little rattles.

if you'd done the other half i'd think you're a total nutter
