Installing sound deadener in my 98 and found this under the rear package shelf

Yeah, it's the antenna. Still wondering what those other 2 connections are. I have since removed the entire harness, but still curious.

Nice, both is the right answer! What you gonna be running? I'd do a build thread but I never stop changing up and going bigger. HAHA

I went with Focal separates up front, Focal coaxials out back, and a JL 10w3 in a JL Stealthbox. I'm running it all off a single 5 channel 800w Kicker amp (KXA800.5)

I built a small amp rack to mount up under the rear deck where some of the old Mach stuff was.

I'm almost done installing it all. Sound deadener is in, interior is back in, Al speakers are in and wired back to the amp. I just need to neaten up the wires in the back and It'll be done. I'll take a few more pics if anyone is interested. I have a bunch from everything up until now too.

The amp

Here's a preliminary pic of the amp rack

And this is it before and after some carpet on it. I made it so I can drop the bottom piece from the bottom if I need to remove the amp. That way I dont need to remove the interior trim to access it from the top.

Here's a few pics from the Noico sound deadener and CCF installation.
I did under the rear seat, and the entire floor using both.
The trunk lid is just the SD, and I installed SD in the trunk itself, the doors, in the rear quarters as much as I could access through the trunk and the access area in the interior, behind the exterior scoop
Also installed SD and some CCF on the back of the door panels, the rear quarter trim, the console, shifter bezel and kick panels. Added a total weight of about 60 pounds or so.
I forgot to take pics of the ccf on the floor etc before installing the new mass-backed carpet.

Nice, yeah sound deadener makes a huge difference. I've done my doors on my F150 but still have the floor and back wall to do. I'm waiting on my new lithium battery bank to arrive before I get started. I need to measure and order a pvc sheet for my new larger amp rack as well.

What are you planning on doing with the amp and PVC?

What's CCF?

What's CCF?

Closed cell foam

Noico Red 150 mil (4mm) 36 sqft (3.4 sqm) Noico Liner Car Heat and Sound Insulation,Heat and Cool Liner, Self-Adhesive Closed Cell Foam (PE Foam)

It can be added over the sound deadener. This is the SD that I used.

Noico 80 mil (2 mm) 36 sqft (3.4 sqm) car Sound deadening mat, Butyl Automotive Sound Deadener, Audio Noise Insulation and dampening



I used a total of 2 boxes, and 2 more sheets out of a third box for the SD. For the CCF, I used just under 2 full boxes.
