Im getting my doors done but where else have you found to have a noticeable impact on cabin noise. I have a Series 2 Gts-t coupe. Thanks! I have put dynamat extreme on a few ee series 2's, if you do it properly, i.e. on the inner and outer door sheet metal, you cant go wrong. It will make your doors sound firmer, as well as make your door speakers sound awesome. To give you an idea, the pioneer splits in my doors put out more bass than the kenwood 6x9s which I have mounted in an MDF parcel shelf.

RANDY Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 *sigh* still to do mine. I have a Dynamat extreme kit, so it should do two doors. Anyway.. my boot rattles with a single sub. I thought it might be the keylock part, which has some play in it... in which case I might just lather it in some thick grease instead. (from the inside of the boot-lid.. behind the lining if you have it) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/141591-sound-deadening/#findComment-2637988 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolverine Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 under the rear seats is a source of noise. the doors give you the best bang for your buck but if you have time and money that is the next place to get stuck into.

rocketboy Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 (edited) under the rear seats is a source of noise. the doors give you the best bang for your buck but if you have time and money that is the next place to get stuck into. Rear quaters/doors if 4door and boot are both good places to SD. I had a bare boot and after SDing the boot bottom and wheel arches it made a fair bit of difference.

RANDY Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 So it is quite good to do eh? Seems a few people are getting tighter panels and increased dB from doing the doors and boot.

Chris Rogers Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 So it is quite good to do eh?Seems a few people are getting tighter panels and increased dB from doing the doors and boot. yep, fixes a few things - lack of bass for one in the doors.

Eug Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 this is one of those how long is a piece of string questions, but roughly how much weight are we adding to just the front doors? 5kg?

I'll say this - a bulk pack (9 sheets) is 18kg. do the math off that. doors on a skyline takes 4 sheets.

Howie Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 (edited) Say chris.. do you reckon the dynamat packs are worth the money in your opinion? because, i've got a boat load of deadening packs i bought from a car shop years ago (it's basically just adhesive with some foam). and i've also got a few litres of septone brush on deadener (which smells like fish oil, but seems to work well on my boot). but then again, they're all available to me at no cost... whereas a decent deadening pack to do my doors, floor, boot will set me back a few hundred.

I got the dynamat bulk pack off ebay for about $200, off quicksmarttechnology i think there name was. I did my doors and I have plenty left over to do my boot. From what I have seen and heard, the brush on stuff can be a pain and pretty messy, dynamat is pretty much like putting contact on your doors (not really as easy) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/141591-sound-deadening/#findComment-2642243 Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have seen and heard, the brush on stuff can be a pain and pretty messy, dynamat is pretty much like putting contact on your doors (not really as easy) may want to do the math here but its $248 shipped. now I do these things at $243 shipped all day long. postage is not $39 to ship it oz wide- its roughly half that. that said its application is pretty much like contact paper only a bit thicker. howie, if you haev access to teh foam type do it. the spray on is messsy and not as effective. good for rust though.
