Finally had time to do some stuff to my 914 today.

Put Dynamat on the firewall; PO removed the pad.

Bought now speaker ports and door pannels from morphenspectra; nice stuff.

Check out the pics.

Thanks Jim - Speakers are built by Dual. Not sure about them but they have blue tweaters so they match the car (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) They are 6.5.

Looks good. Have you had a chance to drive your car since doing this work? I'm curious if the Dynomat reduced engine noise in the cockpit?

I'd be afraid some one would ruin the speakers with their feet, other wise looks great

Yes - I have driven the car.

Of course I did the obligatory post work test drive past Dan(Almaden Valleys) house (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif) . Everything worked.

So the real test was the drive in to the office today; 42 miles with 30 being freeway miles. From the seat-of-the-pants decibel meter there is a clear difference. I would describe the difference as a muted difference verses a reduction in sound difference but certainly a reduction in overall db's. I was able to listen to the radio at a lower volume at the same freeway speeds as before but remember I moved my speaker positioning too so that might contribute. The bigger test for me was I was able to hear the phone conversation I had on my way in to the office much better than I could before.

All in all I am please and it did make a difference. I bought enough Dynamat to the inside of the firewall (inside cab) too. That will be done later.

Heat transfer difference was a bit harder to determine. I would like to think it made a difference.

Hope this helps.

I was gonna ask why you chose the outside of the firewall. My car had no pad, so intent is to add Dynamat to inside. Look forward to your comments and maybe pics when you do the inside.

BTW speaker enclosures look custom. Are they?

I choose the outside because it seemed that the dynamics of the insulation would work better that way; shinny or reflective side toward the heat source. My car also had no pad when I got it.

I'll certainly post pics of the inside once underway.

The speaker ports, and door panels too, are from morphenspectra. The speaker ports are fiberglass, come painted black, and fit perfectly. I did add a spacer as my speakers were too deep and would interfere with the heater hose. They are nice though.

morphenspectra can be found in the 914 Resources, Parts and Products section of our site under the name 914 Appearance and Performance.

ruddyboys - yeah I hear you. I actually kick the speaker all the time when they were in the door while getting out. They now seemed out of the way enough.
