I've been in this game a long time and honestly, I do not see your car even CLOSE to those numbers. Termlab doesn't lie nor does physics and your box is not only way too small to touch 150db+ you don't have the amplification to back it up either. Oh and just so you get an idea of what I have done here is a link to my db drag stats.

Competitor Stats: Chris Bortz


I've broken the 150db barrier on the old termlabs, and the new ones are MUCH harder to do that on. As well I have close friends who do break the 150db barrier so I know what kind of not only power but subs and enclosure it takes to do it.

So in short, back up your claim with a termlab legal score then I will believe it, otherwise your claims are just that claims and nothing else. Not trying to be a douche but I have been doing this way too long to NOT know better.

I'm just wondering, with the SAZ1500 and the pair of SA12s, knowing you've done the big 3 and whatnot, are you having light dimming issues? Are you running just one factory battery, or have you upgraded more?

I'm just wondering as I also have the SAZ1500 and a pair of SA12s. I just don't have a Fit quite yet.

No dimming issues, with the big 3 upgrade to 0AWG and changing out my battery to an audio performance battery I can full tilt the car and not see dimming. I also have figured out how to trick the ELD which controls the alternator output so that I always see 14.2+ volts, it's really simple just turn the fan to setting 2 and it will kick the alternator up to 14.2+.

Multiple layers of deadener are not necessary especially with the new deadeners that are out now where you don't even need to cover the entire panel with it to get the full effect of the product. I will have updates on here when I put in my damplifier and you will see it will not be fully covered panels but it will still do exactly what it is supposed to.

Well I forgot to post my deadener pics so here they all are including the rear of the car which I just did today.
































Got an amazing deal on some stuff from secondskin on the black friday special and got a chance to install some of it today.












So the back of the car is done, I have not driven it yet since I just got finished doing this not 10 mins ago. But I am anticipating a lot of reduction in road noise from the back of the car now.

BTW if you are wondering 25% coverage is all that is needed with the second skin product, my car's noise level went way down when I just had the doors done and the rear should now be ultra quiet. I went a little heavier on the rear because of the fenders being right there as well as the exhaust. But the rest of the car is right around 25% coverage.
