Heh, I've got some vibes in the front door kicks and they sound alreet - no sub so not badass. But after a few weeks they develop a rattle that totally screws the sound (refitting seems to sort it). The pioneer 4 inchers in the rear are fine.

Looking on fleabay the acoustic mat is stupidly expensive - can I use any old shite instead? Like I've got some of that weed mat you put under err your weeds in the garden :rasta:

But I guess it should probably have some flame retartdent properties or something, like all the best ebay gear. Any suggestions much appreciated as I have to listen to radio 1 as its the only thing with no base :cry:

Cheers!

:cool:

i used multiple layers of gaffer or duct tape, its also fire resistant and stops rattles.

it is not pretty but you dont see it in any event.

Just used these in my Touring on the floorpans and rear inner arch tubs - easy to cut and apply :D

£18 inc delivery - enough to do all the problem areas - don't be so tight :wink:
