Rear Speaker installation

Post by Samphier »

Hi there, Bought a pair of Vibe blackair 6's decided i wanted them in the rear door card of my 3 door corsa. all installed and ready to go, decide to test them and found that i can barely hear them, and there terribly muffled, i think i need to fill the door card space with something as the chassis is taking all of the sound, anyone got any ideas of how i can do this, I've thought about loft insulation, but i don't want to buy acoustic carpet as its way to expensive cheers.

They look mint, and it fills the space real well, just terrible sound quality

you can get this stuff called celetex... its a type of insulation but meant to be 'soundproof'...

it comes in big sheets, easy to cut with a saw around the speakers and i think will fill the space well..

of course its not designed for this but may work...

you can get it from wickes etc...
Thats not a dent.... its an aerodynamic mod :P
