I am in the process of sealing my trunk baffle for 2 AE IB15 subs in my 98 Civic sedan. I will then concentrate on additional Raamat, Ensolite..etc. There is already 1 layer of Raamat in the trunk. I am also planning to pick up some Luxury Liner Pro. I hear it's great stuff, although it expensive.
I understand that LLP acts as a noise barrier. For some time I mistakenly believed that Butyl mat(Raamat,Damplifier,Dynamat..etc)acted as a barrier to "outside noise" like tire hum, exhaust drone..etc. Reading posts by noise control experts like "FoxPro5" and "Mooble" I now see that a dedicated noise barrier is needed in addition to resonance dampening materials.
My concern now is in regards to the IB sub system I am working on. After sealing the baffle and isolating the front and rear waves, is there a point where too much noise barrier in the trunk would be too much? For arguments sake let's say I completely enclosed the trunk in LLP. Would a point be reached where it would be detrimental to sq? Should I cover only the floor with LLP?
P.S. the cones of the subs fire into the trunk.
