hey omaha, did you use the dynamat like I did or did u put it behind the speaker opening???? the way u described it in the other thread kinda confused me.... or post ur pics if u dont mind....
Jlive, I got the Dynamat with the foil on one side. I didn't realize they had two kinds. Apparently the type with foil is for higher temp locations.
Anyway, for the front speakers, I installed it just like you did, except that I didn't cut out the middle. I just cut an "X" in the middle part and pushed it in so that it is stuck inside the cone part of the door panel. I didn't put any Dynamat behind the speaker on the outer door panel. I didn't think about that, but that might have its own advantages as well.
For the sub, I just cut a big rectangular sheet (approx 12' x 14") and stuck it to the inside of the outer vehicle panel behind the sub. I didn't use any around the sub frame.
I'm very impressed with the increase in sound quality! Pioneer makes some good automotive and marine speakers. I put some of Pioneer's best marine speakers in the boat last spring and the difference is amazing.
I can now hear the inadequacies of the rear door speakers, so they have to come out also. I'm not sure whether to go with another set of TS-1665's or go with the TS-G1645 two-ways for the rear.
