Sound Deadening
- Thread starter AndyHolt
- Start date
Im getting quite abit of rattling mainly from the boot door, and was advised that Sound deadening would help, plus i need to do the doors, but have been told a 12 inch square behing the speaker does the job well enough, so there is no need to do the whole door.
With the boot Im only putting one sub in there at the mo, but am thinking of sticking two in there, was doing the sound deadening to help more when I put the second one in there...
Any suggestions on good stuff, and where to get it??? How much do you reckon Ill need???
Ive used some High Band flashing tape in mine. Similar sort of thing to Hugo by the sounds of it. It basically has a self adhesive backing on it thats very sticky so you shouldnt need any heat to get it to stick. However, if your bending it around complex curves thern you might need to warm it up a bit. The roll I got was 10m by 30cm and cost around £25 I think which is a lot, lot cheaper per sq metre than Dynamat.

did u know that the maclaren used DYNAMAT in all their roadgoing F1s?
also if u dynamat your car it has been tested to give a gain of up to 3-4 DB thats twice as loud as before, just for adding sound deadening,
i alttle patch behind the speaker will stop vibration but not as much as doing the whole door, its well worth it to get better bass and keep bass inside the car

So Tom, am I right in thinking you dont see eye to eye with Mr Evil ICE...
Ive been reading through the forum, and you seem to contrdict Evil ICE on most occasions...
Not that you are on this occasion as he hasnt said anything but...Anyway, how much would you expect to pay for one of those kits then? Wheres the best place to get them from, I wanna do the sound deadening properly, but not too expensively, as Id prefer not to have to do it again if I decide to change my boot build or anything...
By the way Im gonna run Kenwood KFC-PSR51P as my component speakers in the front, any suggestions on the rear speakers???
Tom and me get on alright...as far as i know anyway. We are supposed to be having an SQ soundoff competition at some point so there is a bit of healthy rivalry on that side of things but thats about all.
With regards to sound deadening, Dynamat..especially the xtreme version is seriously good stuff but costs loads. I dont think much to the spray that they sell but everything else is ok. As you say though it is expensive. A lot of people (including ourselves) now use flashing tape for installs. You can build up the layers with say 2 layers on the whole door and then 3 or 4 layers behind the speakers.It will help a lot.

Is this a good idea, and does anyone know if it will actually cover the whole boot???

£120 is abit pricy, but if it works, its gotta be worth it....
I agree, EVIL. If you build up the layers its very effective. Its not going to be as good as Dynamat IMO(especially the extreme which is heavy duty but worth it if your going for a no expense spared install) but you save so much, you can afford to put on four layers everywhere and it will still work out cheaper.
Rick
the boot kit covers 20sq feet if i remember correctly comes with 3 sheets of orignal and 2 of extreme?
anyway it will do a boot hence its name "trunk kit"
and me and russ get on well, were competition lol, anyway if u look at our posts the onlything wich contradict each other is our views on products our responses are the same just not product wise, (correct me if im wrong russ)
any how i will be using Extreme dynamat in my car as its very good, also flash tape for awkward parts, vibration is a b**ch and can affect SQ plenty, plus who else is going to say no to a 3DB increase just for sounddeadening?

Tom, i had already said about the F1 you copying me?
If you want a good way of stopping the rattling then take the rear wiper and all of the components thats are in the boot door out, delock the boot, use a boot relaese from a rover, then there will be nothing in there to rattle. Problem sorted. Ive done it one my RT and it works a treat. No rattling with a 12 and a 15 in the boot!
