I understand what you're saying about vibration dampening, but I don't have a sub. I'm OLD- just ask my kids.

Actually I've thought about getting one eventually, but even then it's not going to be much. I imagine something on the order of a Bazooka amplified tube sub would do for me. *ducks* Right now I'm just trying to get the noise down. It's incredible how loud an SUV is going down the highway compared to a passenger car. I agree Dynamat is supposed to be excellent for what you're talking about, but it would be to expensive for what I'm trying to do.

BTW, who else makes "minimal" subs similar to what Bazooka sells? And does anybody have any suggestions for cutting down the noise that side-view mirrors make?

Sorry for getting so far off topic.

That's okay about the topic...it was brought out of retirement anyway.  But doc, I'm old too (49) and I've got a subwoofer.  You wouldn't know how it sounds in the plain jane mom-n-pop sedan until you get in...it's barely heard outside (thanks to a product I used that costs 1/4 of what Dynamat costs...).  I just run 200 watts at 4 ohm to it.  But with the right music it feels like I'm in one of those old Barcaloungers with the vibrator, and sounds smooth as silk.  It puts the smile on my face on those rare occasions when I can get the car away from my wife.  And it was a lot of fun to design and build the enclosure for it.  I would never give up the satisfaction of putting it all together by buying a pre-made sub kit.

And wind noise whipping around the mirrors?  You got me.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
