Ohjay 116 Posted December 30, 2011 Waiting to hear your thoughts on the performance of the full SDS treatment. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S.DeYoung 968 Posted December 30, 2011 Waiting to hear your thoughts on the performance of the full SDS treatment.Night and day. Well worth the work and cost of products. I will put my car up against anybodys on how quiet it is inside going down the road. The road noise was very bad and now it is non existent. Along audio lines I don't know. I installed the SDS products before I upgraded my stock speakers. But The bass response from the Mach 5s is amazing. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tirefryr 1,742 Posted December 30, 2011 I used one of those on ceiling tiles. They work great, but I still prefer my router for wood or soft metal. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for showing my hole cutter. ummmmmm....No it is not.I used one of those on ceiling tiles. They work great, but I still prefer my router for wood or soft metal.Yeah I have a router that I still use. The Hole Pro works great with a hammer drill at low speed. The nice thing is the blades last for quite awhile. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

S.DeYoung 968 Posted January 5, 2012 Excellent install over all. I vote to round over your port opening a little. Still a lot of sanding and port painting to do. Port will be getting the round over treatment. Just not sure what size yet. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
