Full Car Dynamat Install

[sydking]

how much would i be looking at for a full dynamat install on my R33

should i get it done before i put the new sound system in?

and are there any other options?

[Wacky Dee]

define 'full' ... That shit's heavy and will add a lot of unnecessary weight if you put it in the roof and all the other stuff. Just get the doors and boot (if putting in a sub) dynamatted or do it yourself. Shit's expensive too, not just heavy. Before, after doesn't matter ..whenever it's cheaper (probably during stereo install)

[sydking]

Just doors and boot then, i wasn't sure what a full install of the product consisted of,

Is it essential to get it done?

[Wacky Dee]

it makes a big difference to sound yes

[ssxRicho]

that is a mates install. iirc he used the largest pack you can buy, the mega pack or something.

yeh, its pretty heavy as well.

i pay $40each full sheet and yes i would be installing the dynamat before installing speakers as u want the dynamat between the speaker and the door to stop them vibrating against each other, there is other option like liquid deadener and other cheaper copies of dynamat but none will be as easy to install nor will they work as good thats what i think anyway.

Im in the process of doing the second layer of dynomat and some other tricks to silence the car inside(For SPL competitions and my sanity on adelaide ruts)..my GTT had a serious case of rattles in the sunroof area even with the radio off.lol

there are many Dynamat copies and some work just as good if not better when you consider price. but dynamat has great quality

anything is better then nothing???

iirc dynamat recommend doors first, then boot, then the floor. i've had just my doors done (outer and inner skin) and it's made a significant difference.

oh and don't worry about the excess weight, unless you are going to race the thing.

in which case you wouldn't be wanting a big doof doof stereo to start with, LOL

Try Marty at FHRX, $40/sheet is expensive! I remember paying about $25/sheet roughly.

wont be going as far as getting the floor done, just going to do doors and boot for now,

Ive seen that sound deadening spray car but i would prefer the dynamat.
