the more i think about this, the more i think this is what i am going to do. I do have some concerns about the bare metal, though, think i could/should apply something on it to improve the u value and add a little mass so i don't get a cold spot behind the seat and/or extra road noise from the removed liner. thinking spraydead or something else i can apply with a brush or mebby some raamat.

go to a home improvement store and get a small roll of pipe duct insulation, that's what i did. it's a reflective metal on one side, then a layer of foam, then adhesive... basically the same idea as Dynamat/Raamat (without the price tag).

that stuff looks perfect! cause i'm cheap as hell

with that out of the way, all i gotta do is mount up the sub and high input to low input converter in a more professional manner. oh. and rebuild my hubs. and install my shocks, and install by aux backup light.

woe is me..
