Bake82 Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Hey guys, Wondering how much SQ footage of sound deadening I will need to cover the floor, both front doors, and complete trunk. I'm not sure if I'll need to double up the applications, however I'm thinking I will want to double layer the trunk and doors, however not the floor of the car, however I'm not sure if I need to do that or not! Also does anybody have any suggestions on the cheapest/best sound deadening material to use? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Kyle, this just isn't for you, but for everyone that question's sound deadening. Please, oh please, don't go with asphalt-based product. : http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Kyle, Ive got over 120 sq.ft. of Dynamat Xtreme in my car. I will tell you it was not cheap either. Check out my cardomain to see what it covered. I went over some parts twice because some of it is very thin metal. Like the rear deck and trunk lid. The dynamat is expensive but other than the price got a good review. You cant really compare prices because I got a huge discount on where I bought my stuff so it was cheap. but it depends on where you buy as to how expensive.

slick Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Definately. Dynamat Extreme is awesome stuff, but can be very pricey if you don't get a discount. http://www.onlinecarstereo.com has a pretty good price on the Dynamat Extreme.

slick Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Sure is! Oh, and just a little FYI, that's like $20-$30 over the cost they paid for it. Good luck getting it cheaper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19Cutlass94 Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 It's nine 18'' x 32'' pieces Or 36sq.ft. if I did my math correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bake82 Posted January 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 It's nine 18'' x 32'' pieces Or 36sq.ft. if I did my math correctly. yah I saw that after I posted. That is not very much material!! Looks like it's going to be more expensive than I thought it was going to be!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not very much material!! Looks like it's going to be more expensive than I thought it was going to be!!!! That really is enough to do ALOT. I just really went overboard on mine You really only need to cover about 60% of a panel ( if that ) to keep it from vibrating. I just used that much because some of the metal is very thin and needed alot of it. Like I mentioned the trunk lid and rear deck are thin metals. And besides my audio system is ALOT. I doubt youll put anything in like I have, so you wont have to worry about panels vibrating like I was. Although I will say after putting in that Dynamat, my SPL score went up by almost 4dB!

Bake82 Posted January 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Looking online you can get the Dynamat extreme bulk pak for 95+ shipping. That seems really cheap! When I decide to do this, I will be either using Dynamet Extreme or RAAMat BXT60. You can get 62sq ft for 120, so I'm thinking I'm going to go with that!
