Can you please tell me what kind of sound deadener are you'e using ?  

Have you had experience with it ?   How well does it work, how much, etc ?

I've never had much luck with sound deadener actually deadening any sound.

i dont know how good it is or how well it works, i have heard good reviews on it but the stuff is called eDead-45 its 1 dollar per square foot, its not the best stuff but i can afford it, the best stuff to you from what i have heard is called second skin

[Heavensheros]

got the amps all wired up pretty much took some time to solder every thing and run all the bolts but i think it looks good and the amp placement is very nice in my opinion

'K, thanxs !

this is why you should buy REAL 0AWG wire thats good

 

LEft to right, Rockford fosgate 4AWG wire, Shitty 0ga i bought last year when i relocated batter, and good 0AWG welding cable, this is the roots of my electrical problems, buying all new wire to run for main power

[Heavensheros]

quick update on the car, i got my ground wire upgraded finally soon doing the power wire got a nice beefy kicker battery terminal thanks to best buy reward money car is gutted and ready to be cleaned for sound deadner and you can see i have a very tiny car with not alot of room to work with

 

wires are 0AWG welding wire and 4AWG rockford for the amps

 

the lonely battery

 

big hole from trunk to cabin was a peice of cloth but i added some fiberglass and will cover in some sound deadner to seal up

 

cloth that is being glassed

 

thats where the actual box is going

 

 

floor to be covered

 

door to be covered as well as other side of course

[Heavensheros]

here are some pictures of what i have done so far

 

trunk lid, it looks like its peeling but its the angle

 

Box inside the car, panels are in and seats and seat belts are in still need to put the cover on the top and the boxes in for the midbass drivers

 

back of the trunk, turned out pretty good the fiberglass is hard as rock and does a good job sealing the trunk up

 

the lid that coveres the convertable top when top is down and holds the bubble top

 

area were top goes

 

amps

 

bubble top

 

doors all done, it doesnt look as good as i seen other people do but it no longer rattles
thats all i have for now more soon

[Heavensheros]

quick picture of the pods so far, hopefully after this layer dries they will be hard enough,

 

[Heavensheros]

got some more done today, got my mid bass drivers in the mail today boxes cut ready to be assembled ( didn't have any glue ) and got 2 coats of bondo on the pods and somewhat sanded

 
 

im very pleased with the speakers since i paid 35 a piece for them, the rubber surround is very soft and does not have a very strong suspension but i did a couple free air test and no problems should sound good once in the box, box will be .27 cu/ft before displacement of speaker

 
 
 

those panels arent map pockets anymore !!!

the pods aren't SUPER thick but very strong don't move a bit but once they get cut open i will be soaking in some more resin where the cloth didn't soak all the way through and then one more coat of glass to finish her off.

more updates as they come, hopefully not to much longer till shes done

[Heavensheros]

got some more done today was going to do more but those in Michigan can understand why
 
 

Almost ready for paint, using black truck bed liner

 
 


got them cut open to find the resin didnt soak all the way trough the fleece so we will put some more in to add even more strength to the rock solid pod


got these boxes made for the midbass drivers

 
 
 

more to come i dont know about the 7" driver yet might switch to the 8" we will see once in car

[Heavensheros]

well i did alot of work today and they still need to be painted but i got the pass. side door pod in and playing and WOW it sounds AMAZING !!! i cant wait to get the other side done will be doing that tomorrow

 

also need to get a new set for the top woofer as the center has been messed up and i like the newer model of the speakers i have, much better construction!

[Heavensheros]

well right when im about to to do some work on my car i get stricken with plague ... uhg but feeling better now and it starts to snow but heres whats going on the Capri, took the stock one out and MAN does the engine bay look ALOT better

 
the old

 
The new

 

old vs new, each fan moves 1500 CFM so that will be 3000 total CFM dont know what stock is but hopefully these work better than stock, will be mounted in the bumper as pushers not pullers

[Rocketman]

Really diggin those fans - I'll be doing the same thing come Spring. its amazing how much it cleans up the engine bay

[Heavensheros]

it really does !!! im hoping once i get my audio all finished next will be the engine bay! new hoses, everything re-routed, tucked, wrapped, ect

[Heavensheros]

got some work done finally now the the weather is barely tolerable....

 

using 2x 10" slim fans pushing, car sat at idle for a long time and held a steady temp so all things work, also got the dual stage boost controller hooked up and i love it!
