Good to hear. Did you get any pictures of the deadening? Also, what areas did you do?

The only problem I noticed now is that my rear wiper is starting to vibrate against the glass. Anything I can do to fix that up quick?

Increase spring tension or turn down the bass! The glass is moving - what did you expect!!

yea i really need to do some sound deadening.. every panel on the outside of the car goes crazy when the stereo is at full power.. it sounds like someone is taking multiple jackhammers to the body of my car. and the wiper blade.. hah! it damn near breaks off.
but inside the car.. the only thing that really rattles is when i have cup in the cup holder or some cds in the door compartments.. but when its all nice and cleaned out. i have no probs inside the car. but oustide.. the roof will bounce my cell phone completely off of the car haha.

Yeah Shawn, you should add some meat to those panels for sure. It doesn't take that much to really improve the tonal quality. Also, if you are really into heavy bass, you shouldn't even consider it and just get it done son. Nothing is worse than having a fantastic system at a show only to rattle the clipboard out of the judges hands from the flexing of the wimpy panels.
