Few Audio Questions - Please Help!

So disabling the center speaker (on the dash) of my BA system.

Is this recommended? Ive seen some threads on this, but can't find out how this helps? Wouldn't it be removing sound? Easy to do? Anything else?

Also, I've put in 2 12" RF subs in a Subthumb box, and wondering where all the best spots are to dynamat/sound proof?

Are there any other options as good as Dynamat for a lesser price?

Thanks!

You would get true stereo. It's purely a preference thing.

True stereo without center speaker? What do you do just remove speaker completely?

I know when most do the ******** FARK and amp swap they usually do door speakers with better Components and once you upgrade those the center speaker is pretty much worthless, I am sure most just leave then in the dash and unhooked at the FARK adapters. I have never missed it, never was that noticeable in the first place

When you use the FARK kit to replace the factory amp, the center channel is no longer connected and does not work with the installation of the new amp.

Ah okay well mine doesn't work then now since I used fark on my amp for my two 12's. Any recommendations on new door speakers? Just remove door panels and you can swap them out there?

The factory tweeters have a built in capacitor to filter out the low frequencies. If you put in a component set, you must use an active or passive crossover or risk damaging the tweeters.
