Do you guys have a problem with sound??? I've stripped the factory sound proofing and stripped the underside of the carpet bare and when I have my beats playing all noises are drowned out anyways.

Never really had major issues. I only Dynamatted the trunk and rear seats. It made the stock system/bass sound nice. You can only crank it up so far on a stock system...you can't go all the way to 11! wink.gif

I love my kappas. Its all in the deck, amp, and tuning.


I love them too, but I insist they don't sound as good as they should in the car. I have an old-ass Blaupunkt San Francisco CD70. It's a jewel of a deck in sound quality. For amp, I have a Signat ROM 4. It's an audiophile (gosh, I HATE that word) -grade amp. I tested Eminence 8" mid-bass speakers and they sound wonderful, especially for not being car speakers. I guess my Kappas don't like the Celica. tongue.gif

LOL i have 2 Type Rs in a custon built ported box and 2 alpine 500RMS amps. One for each speaker. Beleive me if you turn it up to like 8 or 9 i dont hear ANYTHING police sirens, horns, nothing but bass and highs. But if you want to sound proof your car go for it. I just dont think it needs it in my case.

Well, you kinda have no clue until you have sound proofed your car. I did my trunk and will continue on the rest of the car as the cash flow runs. Atm i'm still struggling with my hatchback. to much rattling when i crank up the base.

12" Dynabel with 2500Watts of power up its arse makes alot of noise and the low tunes really shake the whole trunk to pieces. Sound proofing also help for the road noise, which is nice if driving on the freeway ect.

Go to home depot and buy roof and gutter repair tape. Its the same as dynamat but 20x cheaper. Its a little thinner, but for the price you can put as many layers as u want.

Must be doing something wrong. I got plenty of mid bass with my 60.7's. Tune your speakers.
