SerenityMax from the online store on CAA. I've seen you around there a bit so I'm sure you can find it. It's supposed to be the equal of Dynamat extreme and it's better and cheaper than Brownbread. It costs $45 for two or $90 for five 500x430 sheets

and they deliver free anywhere in Australia now. I just ordered ten sheets for my doors and parcel shelf and I'll post my opinion of it here when it arrives.

hippy,

you cant detach the door between the outer door and the door panel. its all one piece. you will just have to get your windows up and reach in there (que the bloody knuckles... trust me, they will bleed).

i used some stuff called supra bitchmen sound sheets, very good stuff!! its like putting a layer of tarmac in your doors, no rattles anymore and when you shut the doors you get a BMW style 'THUD'. just remember to wrap all your linkages and cables in the door with some sort of padding so they dont rattle too.

from what i know .. most stuff is much of the same .. i've read lots of good stuff about serenity max ... lots of good stuff about all the other stuff like dynomat or whatever ... for me i'd be happy with the cheaper stuff as i think i can get it really cheap so i'd just use more of it ... brody please let me know how u go .. maybe take some pics of how u did it ... like how u got the stuff in the inside and things like that ... i'll probably do it in a months time ... which is enough to do more research ...

Brody

try this http://www.webaudiodirect.com/

If you really want cheap go the Supra deadsheet. The self- adhesive bitumen sheets are 530x190mm and the loading is about 3.5Kg/square Metre and only costs $2.75 per sheet. Serenitymax has a loading of 4Kg/square Metre and has a layer of aluminium foil on the outside but costs $18 a sheet. Serenitymax is the better product but if I was working to a budget it would be hard to beat the Supra deadsheet for value. The only problem I've had with it is that if you use it to cover holes it breaks up because it doesn't have the aluminium layer but that doesn't matter if you cover the holes with thin MDF first.

Bostik deadsheet is a similar product but the loading is only about 2.8 Kg/square Metre.

l'll scout round for some reviews (yes i looked on the car audio au forums and theres lot of info), and get some gear on the weekend, or the following week if i have to order it off the net...

Im not really interested in cutting up mdf (dont have tools), so ill see what my options are around it ;)

Icynene insulation and wall insulation batts for sound deadening under the carpet and in the doors also under the subs/enclosure in the boot... does the trick like a charm for uber cheap, a mate of mine that does SPL comps (with reinforced doors and funky plexiglass) uses this combo and he's got 156dB with next to no panel rattle etc.

Icynene insulation is a rising foam which is used as a sound deadener in buildings etc. Its got a sound transmission class of 37 and noise reduction coefficient of 70. It also stops airflow, is water resistant and works best on midrange (ie vocals/music). The batts block out the bass.

Works out to be sumfin like $50 a sq meter of sound deadening with that combo, so if you're on a budget you can still pull it off.

  • 2 weeks later...

Though i'd post an update :(

Ive been able to get the brown bread sound deadening material cheaply thru a mate that runs a audio shop (lifestyle parra).

So far ive done 1 door (3/4 gotta do another clean layer) and much of the boot lid. With 2 subs up loud, the boot sounds 100x better, none of this tinny rattling shit, though theres abit to go which should finish off the rest. In the boot, u can see holes, ive patched these holes with BB, another layer on top, then another, and im about to do 1 clean layer (clean as in shinny alu without tar all ova it).

In terms of the door, didnt make *that* much of a diff, i think our doors are pretty solid as it is. Im going to add another layer and see if it helps. If uve got nothing better to do, its worthwhile :D

This is a 'another sketchy post' so if u have questions ask away :D

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
