dvd player costed me 2k n the splits and amps were another 2k.
well u cant find a price like that unless your in the industry.
i started at GCR melb as an custom/audio installer then got promoted to assistant manager.
im pretty sure everyone who works will know how stock are being marked up. even when they have specials they still need to make profits.
yes dynamatt were done.
whos gonna be stupid enough to spend a sh*t lond on an competitive sound system n not sound proof the car.
its an must do thing or else not worth paying so much

but does dynamattin make a big difference? im not sure if i should spend the extra and put some more weight on my car if the difference isnt major cause at the moment i got :
pioneer 5950IB head unit ($250)
boston acoustic pro60 components ($550) and 5 way pioneer 6x9 ($200) both running off 720watt mtx amp ($430)
2 x 12" 1500watt kenwood subs running off a 1k watt monoblock ($450)
(all off ebay not inc postage and installation)
and i feel my rear spoiler and mirrors slightly shaking whenever im playing the music, i havent tried pumping the sound yet but im sure the boot shakes and doors will rattle ...
nvdfto, how much did you pay for the dynamatting? might be something i'll invest into later on

Doubt it. I don't know what material they use these days but it'd have to be something akin to lead to put 100kg on the car.
But if you add up the weight of 2 subs, sub box, 2 amps, cabling etc... it's a hell of a lot of weight before you even consider sound proofing.
I just reckon the power to weight ratio of our cars is low enough without helping it out

heheh yeh having a sound system in it weight it up a lot but i perfer my tunes over speeding. but that doesnt mean i dont speed. it just takes time for me to reach the same speed as soneone else.
my dynamat was free from my old work place, but if you were going to invest in some just get a door kit. just cover up the holes on the door and remaining use it for the boot or where every u want. if short go to an Custom Audio installation centre and ask if they have left overs. if they do see how much it cost then u might get urself a deal.
looks like your subs are struggling with that power. careful your subs might stuff up.2 x 12" 1500watt kenwood subs running off a 1k watt monoblock ($450)
