SQ questions

Currently I have been really reading up on SQ systems and I see theres so much more than just a good amps, speakers, and subwoofers that make a SQ system, I never knew that RCA's made a difference, I currently have some no name economic brand RCAs. IF i upgrade them will there my a dramatic difference or no. Also today I picked up a pack of Fosgate deadskin (same stuff as dynamat extreme) for the front doors. Over the weekend i will put the stuff in but do u think it was a waste or will it make a differ?

that is a water barrier...dampening material is a good substitute.

i have seen people remove the water barrier and install dynomat under it and then reinstall the water barrier but yeah you can remove it if you plan on dynomating the entire door... and the rca can make a difference but i do not think it will be night and day... i mean if you have some really cheap rca's and you upgrade to some kimber kable rca's then i am sure you will have a much cleaner sound but if you upgrade from decent rca's to middle class rca (monster cable, street wires, etc) then i dont think that you are going to hear to much of a difference...

Dnd,
Just use a hair dryer to soften the adhesive of the white vapor barier. Just be real carefull and it will stick back in place when you are done.
