Default Better Sound From Infinity System

I purchased a roll of QUICK ROOF from Home Depot for around $17 (6"by 25' roll of sheet aluminum on one side and sticky tape on the other). I cut to fit and lined the entire subwoofer enclosure ans also the soundbar. I also stuffed polyfil in both the inside portions of the soundbar (toward the dome light). There was a marked improvement in the sound from the woofer and soundbar. It beat spending $100-$150 on Dynamat. Here is the link. Cheap way to solve a big problem.

I agree, the application of this or Dynamat, etc WITH stuffing the soundboard with Polyfill ($4 at Walmart in the pillow/sewing section) made a HUGE DIFFERENCE. I felt stupid putting the Polyfill in, but the folks on the forums were correct, it works. Base and mids are much tighter and deaper. DO THIS FIRST!

Tweeter... Really? I want to see a picture of this. Mine barely fit in the pods. You have peeked my interest.

I did the same with the same results. I was REALLY surprised at the difference and couldn't wait to do the rest. I've got 1 soundbar speaker done and the result was disapointing. Maybe I should finish the other before passing judgement, but I don't think it will make that much of a difference.

I've started wading through all the discussions and don't know what I am going to do. Thinking of changing the soundbar to 77kick10s....

Did you get pictures of the tweeter? I am very interested.

Also, on the Kicker 77kick10's, I can put other kickers In, instead of the 77's?
