Finished a week or so ago but decided to layer up the 2001 LX with sound deadener. I was replacing all the speakers, head unit and amp and figured why not. Ha, famous last words. I used the Kilmat 80mil off amazon and then layered on top of it the Kilmat 170mil foam. Oh and I also chose to do it during a Georgia heat wave. I meant to take more pictures but it was in the upper 90’s and the air was so humid it felt like you could cut it with a knife. Next time...
Why put sound deadener in an LX? No clue, I think I just love punishing myself, it did not need it by any means at all. The end result is pretty sweet though. I took a very non-scientific and probably inaccurate decible reading on my iPhone doing 65 on the highway, 71 decible average over 30 seconds. After I finished I took another reading on the same stretch of Highway, same speed and saw a drop to 67 decibles. More than anything the new stereo system sounds amazing.
Went with a Sony XAV5000 head unit. Pioneer 5 channel amp. 6.5 Morel components up from and 6.5 Morel Coax in the rear doors. Still figuring out the subwoofer, hooked up an old single 12 inch sub from my youth but the 5 channel amp just doesn’t have the power to run it properly. Honestly though it doesn’t even need it.
