I don't need audiophile quality, but at the very least sound decent.

For $500. A few ppl got splits n this power pack.

Since deadening improves road noise as well, I am leaning towards it more. It's not cheap if you do full car right, but if I only do doors (which I hope is enough to improve sound quality), will it still cost more than 500?

Focal bam is like top of the range. Dynamat is a bit cheaper.

Depends on where you go. Some will only sound deadening around the speakers. Other will do the whole doors.

Example of focal bam. Done properly.

That is over done.

I used 1 x Dynamat door pack over 2 cars, one of them was my Aust championship winning SQ car..
The other i was told i had too much midbass in at the only comp i put it in, the door was solid.

it's all about correct placement, smothering the door like that is just a waste of money and adding unessasary weight.

So just around the speakers is enough?

I cut the SD into strips and squares, then i go over the door skin knocking and looking for any vibration, then when i do, whack on a piece.

A few questions.

How is the compatibility of the DDX630WBT with Apple iOS 7 and Android 4.4 Kitkat?

I found out that other than the Subaru BRZ the Toyota 200mm wide 2DIN standard is also used by the Third generation (2007–2011; GE, GH, GR, GV) Subaru Impreza and Third generation (SH, 2008–2013) Subaru Forester.

I was told by a dealer/installer that the steering wheel controls of the Subarus can be used by the Kenwood. There is no need for splicing.

Does the stock headunit out of a 86 GTS have rca outputs?
