Could soundproofing add THAT MUCH weight that it would slow down the
car!?  I find that a little hard to swallow.

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. David Teitelbaum

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 quality
