Engine Noise in New Speakers

[BootXL76]

Yeah, I am out of town but will post some at the end of the week. I personally think that it made a significant difference in the sound. There are about 10 recesses around the center of the hood, so I cut pieces to fill those. Then I removed the windshield wiper spray hoses and placed full sheets starting in the center of the hood. I basically did two rows, each with 3 full sheets, and 1 sheet was used to cut the shapes to fill the recesses.
I also put kilmat on the front doors and door panels. I reached as much of the inside of the door shell as I could with the speaker out. Each door panel probably got 2 sheets as well.

Close the front door then close the back door and tell me how tempted you are to do the back doors too? (cuz I’m tempted)

Great idea to put the Kilmat on the hood. I bet it helped a lot. Thanks for the idea.

Haha I will be doing the back doors plus trying to get some on the firewall. I need to get the escape engine cover installed. I am also going to try and order the fender insulation that comes on the lariat

I didn’t realize there was fender insulation on the lariat…. I might have to look into that

Can you post a photo of that hood Kilmat treatment?

Here is the Kilmat on the hood. I filled in the voids before applying the full sheets.

I would try these. Audio Control's ac-lgd. Worked great on my F150 and I'm about to put one on my Maverick when I upgrade the stereo. Learned about them from 5 Star Car Audio out there on the you tubes.

Yeah just a small powered 8” sub under the drivers seat. Amazing that the small grommet let so much noise in. But I think the turbo is on the firewall side of the engine, so it would be close to where that grommet goes.

Which powered subwoofer did you install? When I put my seat covers on I didn't figure any would fit? Do you think it would fit under the passengers seat? I didn't want to fool with installing one in the back.

The harnesses do not always make a great connection. I used to use them in my other cars but trashed them after the same issue.
