cheap sound deadening

[p123456789]

had anyone here ever used peel n seal or any other lowes type sound deadening as a cheap alternative. I was replacing the rear speakers in my lb to find NO sound deadening at all all you can see it the sheet metal.

Raamat.com is a good quality site to get deadening.

it's a good starting point.

This is another option, but all depends on what you want!

There ya go.

[derickveliz2]

what would you put ? peal and seal every where in the car ?

If I where you,

I would start putting a complete layer of MAT from raamaudio.com in the TRUNK

Then will treat the same way the front doors

This would help more acoustics of your woofers/speakers than blocking road noise, but it's a good start

What quantity will I need to treat the front door and the trunk ?

HOW MANY (http://www.raamaudio.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=19&category_id=1&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=3)

And for the floor it's MAT + MLV ?

[derickveliz2]

You asked for cheap, get a roll of this:

LINK (http://www.raamaudio.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=7&category_id=1&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=3) 62.5 sqfeet

And for the floor it's MAT + MLV ?

??:confused:

[derickveliz2]

"And for the floor it's MAT + MLV ?"

MLV it's a sound barrier and it's not cheap. (works great on the floors, wheel wells, Pillars and doors).

Works in junction with CLD Tiles (or a full layer of MAT) + CCFoam.

You can add a layer of CCFoam on top of the Mat then a layer of MLV on top of the CCFoam this system would help reduce road noise!

And just to have a good sound quality....only use MAT would be great ?

[derickveliz2]

Sound quality comes from your equipment

Road noise doesn't let you hear your music at low levels

Mat helps to prevent vibrations, produced by woofers, and road noise.

[packetrace]

So with my big woofer that I want to be loud....i use mat ? is that right ?
in the trunk and the froont door ?
so it will prevent vibrations that we dont want....the woofer vibrate parts of the car so it make the sound being bad ?

[derickveliz2]

Have you ever heard a car with a loud system and the trunk + license plate vibrate like crazy! that is why you use MAT. But if you use only MAT to prevent vibrations and block the road noise you would need at least 3 or 4 layers of MAT. That is when using MLV comes appropriate.

[packetrace]

Thats what I mean with vibrations we don't want like the license plat...:)

So I'll put One layer of MAT in the trunk and in the front door :)

on roll is enough ?

[derickveliz2]

So I'll put One layer of MAT in the trunk and in the front door :)

one roll is enough ?

It's a good starting point depending on how crazy you want to go.

I didn't use a lot of MAT, most of my deadening was CLD Tiles + CCF + MLV and then I used about 45 sqfeet of MAT, to feel the gaps (wheel wells & trunk) and front doors.

[packetrace]

I for sure dont want to go crazy as you went....remember I'm only a student !

I'll go with with it !

[derickveliz2]

I for sure dont want to go crazy as you went.... !

I'll go with with it ! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eyebulge: :eyebulge: :eyebulge:


That's exactly what I told my self when I started :thumbsup:

Once you are in YarisWorld you can't stop!

[packetrace]

HAHAHAHAH :O but MONEY is what will stop me!

[swidd]

I used a total of 100 sq ft of B-Quiet, which is essentially the exact same stuff as dynamat and raamat. Then stuffed some foam in and around. It totally cut down on the road noise, but I don't think doing much more would eliminate the sound that remains...unless you somehow increased the thickness of the firewall...
