Default Quick Sound Dampining Question

I got Circuit City's Tsunami in my 98 Dodge Avenger back in hs about 3 years ago. Would that even be worth the trouble heating up, removing and applying to the vette? Im going to be putting a single P2 12 running off of a Pioneer 760W amp in the near future (had 2 p2's in the avenger). Just didnt know if its worth saving or not

Tsunami as in the "upgraded" option for the factory stereo? If that is what we are talking about it is not worth the effort bro, about .1% of all factory stereo systems produced in all cars would be worth the effort to install them in to another car, and I don't believe that is one of them.

Save for a couple of months, and pick up a new HU with the features that you desire + a front 6.5" component set for the front and don't look back. (probably need an amp to run the components however, might want to consider doing a 4 channel amp, 2 to the components and 2 bridged to the sub)

G'luck

No sorry, Tsunami was the name of there Dynamat type matierial that covered the trunk. It has the silver foil and a black tar type material that was heated a little and molded into the spare tire well, trunk floor, and under the rear dash.

Sorry I should have been more clear

Massive amount of work for very little gain. It probably would not stick after all that effort anyway. Why bother?

Get a new sound deadning solution - just not Dynamat Extreme - get something cheaper. I like eDead (personal preference).
