Ok Im thinkin of putting together a new system.... How does it sound???? Pioneer 7500 head unit 4 Rockford Fostgate HE's (or He2's which would be better?) with two Rockford Fostgate 2400W Max..... 800RMS amps... Im gong to be dynamatting my trunk... I tried to find the peal and seal stuff at Home Depot but they dont have it.. where would I look for it? So how does that set up sound?? Im going to need a dual amp kit but the only one that the store near me sells is 4ga braking off into 8ga for both amps... shuld I just custom make the amp kit and try to go with 1/0 Power wire?? ............. thanks much for the opinions!!!

id go 1/0 to distro block that puts out 4 gauge.

Peel n seal is usually in the midwestern states.

Ask them if they can either ship some to the store...or if they have a "like it" product.

If you cant get peel n seal go on ebay and get raamat, its still cheaper than dynamat by far, better too.

I would go with the HE2's they are a better match for your amps as well as a better sub. As far as the peel and seal goes don’t waste your money, I have used it and over time it will start to fall off. Not to mention it dose not deaden the sound as good as Dynamat or a similar product, if your going to do it do it rite. I would suggest that you look at a product called Brown Bread https://www.b-quiet.com/brownbread.html I have used this for a few years not instead of Dynamat, it is a fraction of the price and comparable in quality. Trust me its well worth the extra money not deal with the mess that the peal and seal will give you down the road. As far as your power goes I would suggest that you buy the components individually its more money but you will get proper equipment for your install. For the cables I would suggest that you go to Knuconceptz they have excellent quality cables at a reasonable price https://www.knukonceptz.com. And I would use a 1/0 gauge for your main power cable and then branch off to the amps in 4 gauge. For fuse/distro blocks, connectors etc. I would suggest that you go to Darvex https://www.darvex.com/miva/merchant.mv

thanks again for the information!! Those are great websites.... How much of the brownbread do you think Id need?? I noticed that they give up to 70 sq foot rolls... how many layers and what parts should I put it on?? I can get Dynamat for like $12/ 4sq ft as well.. but Im not sure how to put it on.. I mean yea.. peal and stick but it seems too easy lol...
