Talking what a difference....

butyl, aluminum and acoustical foam make. i have an '07 f150 stock system w/ single cd mp3 player. i have $60 pair 3way pioneers in the front. i had the same speakers in the back but changed them out with a pair of $100 6x8 infinity reference speakers today. and over the months, including today, i have put 74 sq ft of dynamat all around my truck which cost $360 total. i also put 6 sq ft of acoustical foam with aluminum on it in my doors. b4 today, i had a pretty good sounding system. nothing great about it, just good. bass was distorted on heavy bass and/or high volume. after the second layer of dynamat inside the doors and the acoustical foam today i truly feel like BOSE corporation put a system in my truck. i've let a couple of friends listen to it, and to paraphrase them they said "wow, you finally got that 6.5" bazooka you wanted to throw in there!". not even. i have a stock head unit, 4 aftermarket speaker and some butyl/aluminum/foam that cost more than the head unit and speakers. i plan on adding 6 more sq ft of acoustical foam and will not be getting the 6.5" bazooka because it's not needed. on cds, i have to keep the treble 2 or 3 notches up from zero to make the music sound balanced. on the radio, i have to bump it up 4 or 5. this is the only complaint i have about my system now. i have to go into the settings for each radio or cd session. but it's worth it.

i'm not much for bass either. i'd much rather have what i have now, than something with more bump. i drove around today, and the music so crisp and distortion/vibration free that it kinda almost makes me feel claustrophobic. and i'm not claustrophobic, just kinda feel confined. as for the bass, it feels like i have subwoofer in there with some punch to it. i think the foam just won't allow the plastic panels/door panel to vibrate at all allowing the speaker to do what it's supposed to do, rather than vibrate with the inside of the door panel.
