This paper continues the work started in [4] to construct $P$-invariant Laplacians on the Julia sets of $P(z) = z^2 + c$ for $c$ in the interior of the Mandelbrot set, and to study the spectra of these Laplacians numerically. We are able to deal with a larger class of Julia sets and give a systematic method that reduces the construction of a $P$-invariant energy to the solution of nonlinear finite dimensional eigenvalue problem. We give the complete details for three examples, a dendrite, the airplane, and the Basilica-in-Rabbit. We also study the spectra of Laplacians on covering spaces and infinite blowups of the Julia sets. In particular, for a generic infinite blowups there is pure point spectrum, while for periodic covering spaces the spectrum is a mixture of discrete and continuous parts.
