That was my daughter singing...NOT me. I am fully aware that i can't sing....LOL

Kewl could you email em to me by chance? getavonhere@comcast.net

That would be cool...learning more about my box. Next is to do some fun wiring LOL got hardwire LED's and need to figure out how to install a switch so I can get those installed.

Got the HVAC Neowedge LED's today, so going to change those to blue. Our new gauge cluster should be here soon....LED's in gauge have been changed, but need the cluster overlay so it shows blue...not green....

edead also makes a paint on deadener, you can apply it as thick or thin as you like, may be easier than the other stuff, I don't know, never messed with any of it, but need to do it sometime.

Edead Liquid Deadner FTW!!

works great... actually i put it on over a layer of dynamat... made quite a bit a difference...maybe because i could paint the nooks and crannies that i couldnt reach with dynamat sheets

maybe a 1-2 punch sheet sound deadener and liquid top coat...

gave Brain the 1/2 gallon or so i had left over... he turned the tC trunk into a smurf

Yeah the paint edead is awsome........takes a nice warm day to do it in and a lot of time,but it works awsome........also the v2 edead is also great as is dynomat........carefull using home repair products.......you can get trapped vapors from them that can make you sick.......and caouse oder.

so they wouldn't be ok to put in a car but would be ok to put in your home? i can't really see how that's different considering how much time you would spend in/with each.

my wife started complaining about how loud her exhaust was. She said she couldn't hear her music. I said, "I can fix that," and turned up the radio...she got mad

tru.... but im gonna lean toward the house being a bigger area w/more airflow/venting vs a smaller confined area with less airflow (unless all windows down fan going etc) of a car makes all the difference
