i used sth like the noise absorption mat tht mywifecar is selling in d insides of my 4 doors n some on d door panel to prevent rattling. still using stock speakers though still lookin for d best speaker tht doesn't need an amp to push. my hu allows d rears to be used as sub so i channel anything below 160 hz thr but my front mids r still full range. i know its a lil too high to cross but its to compensate for my lack of bass in front. any comments?

the best driver that doesnt need amp is your stock standard drivers...

"...i used sth like the noise absorption mat tht mywifecar is selling in"

My rough guess is, you are using insulflex or Superlon.... right? My Noise Absorption Mat is open-cell le...

err yeah i think so. cant reli tell coz i haven seen much insulation apart frm dynamat haha but i do know is its butyl rubber n got adhesive on one side n i stuck d entire inside of my door with it. btw, my speakers r also sitting on those pu mountings to prevent rattling. viva can reli rattle haha

Buy an aluminium one... sure very solid....

aluminium insulation? can show me pics? iwas thinkin of changing my front speakers first. been wanting d alpine type e frm howie but not enuff budget yet plus i also need a rain shield wit tht speakers. wad othr speaekrs r good for bass tht i can put as my rears?

Sorry, I meant the speaker mounting. Get an aluminium one.

i went to a shop today n he told me my loss of mid bass is due to the use of butyl based insulation in my door vs those dynamat (is it asphalt based?). could it be true or is juz my stock viva speaker is crap?

Do you know exactly what you use for your door?? Dynamat can be considered as butyl also. Take pic can? Speaker crap or not, soundproof can help too...
But of course, eventually you will realize that stock speaker is crap.

haha yeah but bfr i invest money on a set of speaker, im gonna try to built an 'enclosure' behind d speakers using pvc tubes. i'll take d foto of d insulation whn im bk

anybody knows where's howie?

tried calling him but can't get thru
