I used standard butyl/aluminum on the doors, inside the doors, etc.

I ran the power down the middle because of the 3 runs of 11awg speaker wire running on both sides....plus it does help to separate the power wire from anything else.  

I don't have any noise at the moment. Largely due to the fact I have no amps or speakers...lol. The build is still in process. I hope not to have any noise when finished.

Here is a quick update about how the aperiodic will look.....



Made from a single piece of mdf. If it is not thick enough, can easily make it into two pieces. Both metal plates are recessed to be even with the surface.  



Holes will be able to line up perfectly.

Here is the top piece that will mount to the baffle in the rear deck:

One side....




The other side....




Pic mounted to the plexi:






Here is the baffle Bolted in 8 spots to the rear deck (used all existing holes for the bolts). There are supports throughout and mass loaded foam around the sub opening to help direct the sound through the opening in the rear deck:




I changed up the design just a bit to have more depth for the fiberglass membrane. I added 3/4" to the top and bottom. However, this lead to another idea and I used threaded inserts so the bottom 1/2 can unscrew 1000 times (if need be), allowing you to add more fiberglass.



Pink Fiberglass making the membrane (will tune when system is up and running).



Used trunk carpet underneath the disc (secured to the wood via epoxy) so the pink fiberglass is unseen and pieces can't make it through the holes. The holes are perfectly lined-up.



I did more, but will post pics later.
