Thanks All Thanks for the info, I think the belt will be staying on! I appreciate the explanations though. Mish

Road noise Does the sound deadening cut back on road noise or just reduce speaker rattle? Hopefully both I was just curious on the results, and if it's a good investment. Thanks Mish

Thanks for the help! I was planning on using the FM modulator setup if I couldn't figure out another way of doing it. However i still think it can be done and have enlisted a few electrical engineering students help. I could be wrong though, but i beleive it's posstible because mazda's...
