Check out my new custom system install with sound dampening!!

Wait, I'm confused, you said you used Thermozite as the sound dampening product on here, but on your cardomain page you said you used Peal & Seal, which one did you use exactly? Also, how much did it cost you to sound dampen your car overall?

And that's a very high quality install you did, I hope to do something half as good as that. Very nice man.

Will you do me a humongous favor and do a step by step of how you wrapped the box. I've tried wrapping my own in the past and it just comes out looking like crap. I always end up just painting it black and throwing it in the trunk.

Sorry if I confused anyone. I used both Thermozite and Peel & Seal. I used the Peel & Seal in the trunk, doors, and wheel wells. I used the Thermozite on the floor and wheel wells. The Peal & Seal was $35 for a 18" x 33.5' roll. I ran out kinda early. I wish i bought the bigger roll so i could have lined the cabin floor with it too. I bought a 4' x 2 yard roll of Thermozite for $17.


Doing a step by step box covering guide is pretty difficult without pictures. I have only covered 1 box. I did learn to try and keep all seams hidden. I have the seams on the bottom and sides of the box. I also learned to have a very sharp single edge razor blade. The basic idea of making 2 edges line up perfectly is to overlap them and make a cut through both. Then once you remove the 2 excess pieces you should have a perfect butt joint. The fewer joints the better. I would try to aviod joints on outside corners, but inside corners hide them very well. Also when cutting the material for a butt joint: instead of cutting it with the razor blade at an angle and dragging it though the cut, hold the razor blade parallel to the box and push straight down. Repeat that all along the line that needs to be cut. I found that when no material is dragged from being cut, it makes a very smooth joint that blends together well.

Cool, I'm going to be attempting it again pretty soon here, hopefully it looks good lol.

Here's a useful link for FAQ's about subs. It also contains a carpet tutorial.
