[j30 leopard]

i just want to say thanks to everybody that helped me with this. i really appreciate it.

[j30 leopard]

diamond i went on quickors website and there is no listing for the car. do you have a part number, or cant i use the same ones due to the weight difference

[diamondj30]

they dont list them,call or email,they have my oem bars to go off of.THEY NEVER HAVE LISTED THEM.THEY HAVE SOLD A COUPLE PAIRS.woops,caps,sorry,lol..as a matter of fact i think i will ask them why its taking so long to return my stuff.

[diamondj30]

just leave ya with this

[j30 leopard]

the body work on that looks great, but i dont think i want to do dual exhaust. oh yeah where or who do i get that fuel additive bg44k from?

[VimyJ]

The J is already has a true dual exhaust. Diamond slickly underlines the fact.

[j30 leopard]

i know it has true dual, but i still like it into one muffler

[diamondj30]

[j30 leopard]

did you make new deck lid or just cut the stock one. that looks really clean, im still trying to design the trunk. the shop i manage we are a authorized audiobahn dealer, so i get a really good employee deal through them. what did you do in your doors im trying to run a 6,4, tweeter combo without going crazy with the door mod?

[diamondj30]

so you going to run kicks-----actually there are 2 .35 airspace boxes secured to the back deck with 8's in them.yep theyfit.midbass rear fill,the back deck is completally covered in visciolastic,2 layers i think.revinyled the back deck to look smoother,easier to clean to.every peice of metal has some kind of sound control stuff on ot...theres alot room behind the door panel.just take out factory box that the speaks sit in..pretty self explanitory..make a baffle and screw it on.use wood for a baffle and seal the hell out of it..i have some teardrop kicks for 4's and tweets.i dont use no more.no cant have,lol.6 and tweet fine without door panel mods.all doors have 1.50 inches rubatex completatally covering outer door skin.foam.undercoat.3 layers visciolastic on the inner skin,then plumbers wrap covering the inside of door..insulated to the hilt.even headliner i did.whole floor is covered in visciolastic and rubatex over that.took bumber off car.whole rearend ingulfed in six layers viscio.i can play 40 hz thru my front doors pretty strong and your arm dont even fel the panel vibrate.outerskins dont budge either.just a knockk on my doors and youcan tell somethings up.ive done alot of work on all my doors..the back doors have 8's too.used to be crazy..4-6's ,4-8's,4 tweets,and 2 4'sin cabin.14 quarts in the cabin,fun,lol..no stage tho.i need to get my harddrive for the car..i ordered a 16 gig hard drive player for it almost a year ago,still waiting.thats how it goes with new stuff,lol.then 5 custom made zapco amps go in.2-c2k9.0's and 3 6.0's..with the old subs i could do like 140 spl and not one thing makes noise,nothing.silent.you can see the trunk force air out the top tho.it dont flex,i got it covered too.the more prep as far as sound deadening is concerned the better.i didnt compete in that tho..140 sucks,for spl..my armrest in the back has a pass thru too.wont need that tho with a couple brahma 15's were the back seat is now lol.man,sucks not workin for so long,makes me ramble.this is my communication with the outside world,lol,sorry

[j30 leopard]

dont be sorry, i need help doing this car. how did you have your subs firing towards the trunk lid or towards the back of the car?im not going that crazy, id love to see some pics. if you want to email them to me [email protected]. i just met a guy with a j30 with running water coming out of the dash up the a pillars down the back into the rear deck then into his system in the trunk. i wouldnt do it but it was different. do you think i should just run a 6 and a tweet in the front doors? im not cutting the rear doors out just using 6x9 in the rear deck.

[diamondj30]

here go,one on each side..slieght agle in so the dont cancel eachother out.

[diamondj30]

heres the pass thru before i painted stuff

[diamondj30]

i can tell you plenty of bass will get up front wothout pass thrus but.small truck,wants to explode,lol..a six and tweet in the front doors is perfect.heres my doors now

[diamondj30]

here my armrest,just givin ya some ideas,hope it helps..

[diamondj30]

i dont use these kinda kicks anymore....i moved both of the computors in the kick areas ..i hogged out the comp.areas and have 2 -1 inch holes drilled venting to the outside of car.now nothings in the way on floor at all,hehe.i run morel 6's in there now.if you look hard you can see what i did to the parking break.i took out the whole thing gave it to a freind and he modified it..its been rewelded.the pedal is an l shape to clear the kicks..i took the pad off the back of the pumpy foot rest to so its flat.now i can hold my legs straight out and point my toes and cant touch the firewall.im 6.1"..without the seat all the way back.i definetally lounge when i drive ,lol.

[j30 leopard]

that looks absolutely beautiful. do you mind if i steal your door panel design(with your help also) i dont think i want to go through moving the comps from the kicks.(should we start a new thread for this conversation?)lol oh by the way my name is warren and i really appreciate the help you are giving me. as far as the suspension i think im doing a fully custom air ride. please let me know what you think.honestly

[diamondj30]

if your just putting a six in the door you shouldnt need door panel mod.plus mines was for 2-6's each door.i think ajay in the stereo sec does a how to modify door panel.i ca glass a little bit,and do stuff.my buddy did my door rings that hold the grill.im redoing everything.all doors..i got braces welded in the doors.i cut window tracks and welded them taught.my front windows go halfway down cause of boxes in the doors.i figure as long as i get a drive tru bag of food thru it,im good,lol..sound more important.you only need a six in your door dont you.i wouldnt mess with the panel in that case.thanks for the compliments..the amps were jacked about a year ago,but i alredy had the new amps.its weird,they were carefull not to hurt my grills and boxes and stuff weird.i ccouldnt believe they didnt take the sub grills.im going to mount them on my home speakers,lol..how do you not use those grill for something.there my favorite part of car.i think stereo stuff needs to be in the othe forum.

[VimyJ]

Diamond, I must say that that is some very high quality work you've done. No wonder you won those awards. However, I need the dead pedal big time.

[diamondj30]

kind words mike thanks.my awards were for sound,not install.i dont get points for that.it has to be very secure,but as far as bling and innovations,no points..one time tho i was at a sound show in a car show but didnt enter the main show.then this little old lady comes up and ask whats with my cars,mods and stuff,i told her im not in the carshow,..she goes,you should be.so i entered reluctantly cause in no way is my car up to that kind of par.in my mind.anyway,took best of show,.i was happy.trippy.longshot.maybe after awhile i will do regular shows after alot of mod work.i really into functional stuff so i dont put alot of crap in my car,well just alittle,lol..i was thinkin of puttin an actuator on the parkin break so i never have to set it.it would be automatic.i gaurantee she will be awsome when i redo interior.and put the new amps in.you may not recognize her

[diamondj30]

cause bandwidth is myonly freind today,lol...heres some visciolastic install..not just for stereos,i did it before i even started competing.i think the cars loud,but thats me.

[diamondj30]

6 layer total rear

[diamondj30]

then some pad,ive change it tho to 3/4"rubatex

[j30 leopard]

diamond can you even hear yourself think in there? lol i think im going to do my doors and my trunk but not to that extreme. do you have a good idea for the tweets in the front? i cant find a "clean" place for them and i dont want to put them behind the door panel. do you still ahve those old kicks? if you do ill buy them from you

[diamondj30]

i got an idea,get some pillar cover for a newer j with the tweet locations in the pillars.do you like staging.mids give ya the stage but tweet can take it away,lol..it always best to keep the tweet and mid close.id put the tweet as far from my ears as posible.this is the fun part,figuring it out.you can modify your pillars.it depends were you want them,its your baby.im keepin my kicks.pack rat,lol.

[maxnix]

i think im going to do my doors and my trunk but not to that extreme.

Unfortunately, true sound attenuation requires doing the floor pan and wheel wells as that is where most of the road noise is transmitted from. No short cuts, and no light weight solutions in the real world. Doors and trunk will help interior resonances, but do very little for road noise.

Grow old and be deaf but fast like us!

[diamondj30]

you got that right manix,for sure.its funny if we could only make the glass quiter,lol...helps if you drive around with a stethascope.my rear wheel well are heavily undercoated. 3 layers of high temp mastic on inside then padded.foil back.i even did the gas tank so i dont hear that dam fuel pump.i went off around the tank..fuellines are even wrapped.every hinge.everything,lol

[j30 leopard]

well then i guess i have to do the floors and wheel wells. i dont like the tweets in the pillars, i just dont want to loose them behind the door panel. it is a loud fuel pump.
