[DML] Re: sound system upgrading

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would be careful about "going crazy" with soundproofing materiel.
The heavy rubber stuff with the adhesive on one side adds a lot of
weight. The careful use of it might be OK but you can use all the
fiberglass fill you want with almost no weight penalty. Before adding
a lot of soundproofing materiel check out the weatherstripping around
the doors. Replacing them with new door seals will make a BIG
difference and there is no weight penalty. Check all the openings
under the dash and seal them up too. Another spot is the rear window.
Make sure it is sealed all around especailly on the bottom. You reduce
road noise and you will reduce the drafts. Not only do you want a good
sounding sound system, you don't want the car to move like a slug!
Because the car is already underpowered any additional weight will
have a big impact on performance.

good example of how a DeLorean with speakers in their stock positions
can make great sound. My car has 4 Rockford Fosgate speakers in the
stock DeLorean positions, a JVC CD player, and a Pioneer Bass tube
with built in amplifier. It sounds terrific, will rattle your brains
out if you so desire, while bringing out percussion and guitar parts
you never knew existed in your favorite songs. If you really want high
