Dynomat and Sub
I have a 2000 vert that had a new headunit put in this summer. I want to accomplish two things still for the car:
1. Reduce the heat from the center console - i don't need to make s'mores or keep my coffee warm.
2. Reduce noise when top is up for music and cell phone.
I have been quoted $1K for a complete dynomat install along with a 12" sub and stuff to mount in the center well of the trunk.
Two questions:
1. Does this sound like a fair price?
2. The installer mentioned that if he mounts the sub low so I can replace the stock well cover, I will get vibrations (from the cover). I want to be able to still use the trunk and carry luggage without damaging the sub. I am interested in ya'lls thoughts on this.
Thanks

2 boxes of Dynamat(enought o do entire car) alone will cost you about 375.00 or so
sub ...I would NOT go with a 12 as he will not be able to get anything decent in the box for a 12 as the magnet will never fit due to the angle of the well.
Also what amp is he recommending?

Pre cut
I went the lesser expensive route with a pre-cut insulation kit from one of the forum vendors. It made a HUGE difference as far as heat is concerned. It helped a bit with sound. I installed it myself and it was DEFINITELY worth the time and effort.

The console temp is barely warm now. It worked great. As far as my storage areas go- it does not affect them other than I now have amps and subs filling them up, but that is unrelated to the sound control material.
