i used serenity and i can't recommend sound deadening enough.

for $100-200 spend you get an absolute audible difference.

if you spend an extra $100-200 on HU, sub, amp & splits you won't be able to pick any difference.

i sound deadened both doors and under the rear seats. the doors are the very least you should do.

I used about 8kg of SD.

I won't install another system without sound deadening atleast in the front doors - I didn't want to weigh my car down too much I just wanted to get the most from my drivers - which it did.

Wolverine is right, it's the most noticable difference, I'll just add it's probably more useful when you're using quality equipment in the first place, so if you're using sony explod gear I wouldn't bother. I have focal kvp2 splits in the front doors and wanted to get the most out of them.

I'm not sure if you have it over there, but Bostik Automotive Sound Deadening panels are a very good bang for buck alternative.

Iver here it is about $100nz for 10 x 500mmx500mm sheets. I'm pretty sure that the fusion stuff is this just rebranded.

I'd rate it as good as brown bread.Dynamat is better, but maybe 15-30% better for about 400% price increase.

As has been said, sound deadening your vehicle will make a VERY noticable difference in road noise and getting rid of rattles/resonance from your speakers.

Please excuse my thread grave-digging operation,

But does anyone have more info on where you put it? I was thinking of is sticking to the inside of the outer door skin, naturally, but how much you need to cover?

What about the inner chassis of the door, (the bit that you screw the door trim to) did you put anything behind or infront of it as well?

Thanks for any input...

wow, you did everything then.

What diod you use to do the access holes?

Did you just cut out some MDF and silicone in?

Is that in an R32?

Looks different to mine - r33.

I take it you've used dynamat on the metal parts, or is it..

What's the TAC stuff? is that like brown bread?

Dynamat extream on the metal bits. Holes are filled in with aluminium. Stereo shop doesnt want any come back calls from wood rotting and rust problems. Also less and thiner. So then thats silconed in.

Its also got some foam behind the speakers themselfs, just makes that area more dead. Plain chant or something, from fusion.

The tac-mat is a closed cell foam to stop any rattles from the door cards.

It all works very well.

But inregards to the comment $200 anywhere else wont make the same difference... Im not so sure about that. Get an eclipse head deck, then tell me you dont notice the difference. Really for a good system you need everything.

Im gonna get mine done as well in april sometime hopefully.. so will keep you posted.. for hertz 165s..

Is it worth gettin the full door deadend or half the door?? coz theres a huge difference in price!!!

Do it once and do it properly. I seriously noticed a fairly big difference with getting the acess holes filled. You probably dont need to go to the extent of foam on the door cards, but Im (trying) to win or place in some SQ comps. So every little bit counts.

I've been looking into sound deadening and looking at getting some dynamat xtreme.

Was thinking about putting an amp and sub in but thought I would try sound deadening first and see how it goes.

Found this tutorial on the CAA website..

http://www.caraudioaustralia.com/content.php?contentID=19

There's also these ones on the Dynamat website..

http://www.dynamat.com/technical_installat...ation_menu.html

If anyone knows of where to get some sound deadening stuff cheaply then please share the wealth :worship:

What are some of the options for deadening the area directly behind the speaker?

    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
