I ask all the great questions! Dash cover?

I have a scion tC and am looking to do the tweets in the A-pillars, and want to cover the dash with a fabric to reduce reflections, as it's a big ol' dash. I was thinking something like microfiber or suede, but there are some compound curves and I don't want to botch this. what do you guys think would be easy and work well?
I appreciate your opinions!!!

I installed a dashmat on my Saturn. It made a HUGE diffeence. And yes, I have my tweets installed in the A-pillars. Hope that helps!

I know it would make a world of difference in my car, but I can't bring myself to do it. Dash mats are ugly as sin... I haven't seen one look good, ever.

Also check of audionutz on eca big meat install....he made some directional grilles for tweeters and midranges in the dash. he is the former SQ world champ and say that install is by far the best hes ever done when it comes to sound stage and depth....so they must work pretty well.

Could you give us some links? Some of us can't keep up to more than one audio forum at once.

I love that install....the center console is amazing. The tool box sub box. You cant even tell anything was modded in that truck. Then hidden A3 amp
Look up his isobraic how-to on eca to see how the center console was made...pretty cool stuff.

Old dish towels held on with duct tape. Reflection problem solved.

best thing you could do is....
Slap a layer of ensolite foam all over everything thats not glass then cover it with speaker grille cloth
Not sure itd look pretty...

I ordered the velour dash mat. heard it isn't too ug, and heard it's quite effective. ensolite will be going underneath too.
