I wanna add something like that to mine but I'm gonna wait until I have something else to drive and can take my car apart and start redoing stuff to it and the way I want it done.

Looks good though OP.

Took me about 4 days for the sound deadening and another 4 days for the system and putting everything back together.

Looks awesome. How do you install the amp rack because I'm thinking of doing the same thing.

There is plenty of info on this site to install the amp rack, just search. But, for a TA you need to be creative and modify the install a little bit. Where 4x4 and 2x2 pieces were called for i had to double up and my 2x2's were changed to 2x4's.

how much did you use? (i have four rolls in my garage) What areas did you cover? If the doors, did it eliminate the hollow clunk whenever you close the doors?

i got it in two different widths. I used 7 rolls of the 6 inch wide an 4 rolls of the 3 inch wide. total cost was just under a hundred bucks. i didnt cover quite as much as the above pics but i would say prolly 90%. i used it on the inside an outside of the doors and it made a big difference on how solid the shut now. kinda like thud..... people say its a pita but it took me 4 days from start to finish and i think its one of the better things ive done to my car. its sounds solid inside now...no little squeeks or vibrations. i also pulled the tail lights out an covered all the mounting holes over then cut a slit an put the lights back in bc they rattle alot also. hope this helps and good luck. you will be pleased with the results.

That is one sweet setup. I bet you have a lot better sound response and depth by adding all that sound mat. Enjoy your tunes!

The lighted "Trans AM" above my radio came from MAPtech enterprises in Canada, search hu mount and you will find it. The sub is JL 10w3v3-2ohm with 600w Alpine sub amp. The rest of the speakers are CDT from KEE Audio with Alpine 100x4. The stealth box is from Double D Mods. The amp rack is from Sub Thump. The sound deadening from RAAMaudio. I am so impressed with the amount of quietness now in my car. The install seemed like it took forever and i hated every second of it but im really really happy with the result. No rattles. no squeeks, just the perfect amount of exhaust noise and pure music enjoyment. The one 10in sub seems like just the right amount with my age and type of music. Twenty years ago when I had 4 12's and was ruining the neighborhood with Too Short, NWA, and ICP, that seemed like the perfect amount of bass. Boy how times change.

I just picked up my first roll of the same 6"x25' peal-n-seal, gonna do mine in steps, as I have to keep it a daily driver for work. when you say you did the inside of the door, what do you mean, do you have pics? Also should I invest in a dynamat 2" rubber roller or is there a cheaper alternative?
