Your demeanor and your calm presentation style made me confident bro….. thank you! I was as hesitating on my build- because the task seemed huge- I’m 51 and getting back into it - I’m gonna lay the mat before a sub…. Started with some gasket and silicone baffles for direction on the fronts and I just ordered two door kits thanks to you !! 🤙🏾

A little tip with the rear hatch or doors- don't use expanding spray foam around the locking mechanism. It seizes up the mechanism, making it impossible to unlock/lock the hatch/door. I use industrial spray glue b4 adding the sound dampening material (add to both surfaces and let it tack up, roll as normal). Also I use rubber grippy material(normally used to keep stuff from moving on a surface) as my barrier between panels (also spray glued down). In large spaces between inner and outer skin I use a combination of pool noodles(cut long ways into quarters, to appropriate length), quilters batting sheets, and reflectix foiled bubble sheets. On areas behind speakers/subs I go with a high quality all-in-one material like dynomat or second skin. All my door woofers have foam baffles. My big 4 has fire sleeve around it to keep the wires safe from the heat. Underneath the hood has dynamat hoodliner and expanding fire block foam in its ribs. My wire going to the amp has cool tube on when it's under the vehicle. I know this doesn't sound like sound dampening stuff, but it is. The wire emits it's own noise, and I'm trying to isolate it as much as possible.

I wonder if you put a thin gasket just on the very edge of the door panel so that there’s no rubbing between it and the door

They aren't cheap but you can get an awesome roller from a flat or low slope roofing supply store. They have heavy duty rollers that have a roller which has bearings in it and the head is made of a nonstick rubber that is orange in color.

yeah, in most cars, extra sound deadening makes a pretty big difference of the noisefloor. I probably had 15-20 kg's of extra sound deadening in my old volvo s60, door speakers, trunk and so on, finding all the ratteling bits, fabric tapeing them up. Now i drive a Lexus is200 sportcross, well, the noiselevel stock is lower then the sound deadened volvo... makes it waay easier to do the stereosystem sounding great.

Oh snap a Vega production.

It doesn’t always make it louder, but it does make it sound cleaner. In some cases it will help SPL and in some cases it’ll slightly hurt SPL

I actually extend the cld inside the holes for the mounting clips which makes them much tighter and eliminates the clip rattling completely. Coupled with the tessa tape wrapped around where the clips mount to the panel as you did

Cool video!!!

Hello, is this foam stuff Fireproof and a electric insulator? Regards

Thanks. Question I have a 2004 Honda Element that as you probably know is not very quiet. I would like to eliminate outside noise but price is important. I am willing to spend on quality as my dad used to say, you get what you pay for. I also noticed that it doesn’t have that plastic coverings on the doors. I am the original owner so not sure if it didn’t come with it or was removed by 6th Avenue electronics when they were in business and and installed Alpine component 6.5 speakers which sound good. I think definitely the back tailgate also needs deadening material. FYI the car comes with rubber flooring. Gracias 😎

I’d go with the 3 layer method CLD,CCF and MLV. You can make your own vapor barrier pretty easily with butyl rope and plastic

I am torn with what to do, so my project is an old 1966 car restoration so not audio/sound system related more to just solid up the panels, floors etc and for comfort/protection etc. All the interior door cards/carpet is out and before putting it back in I was thinking of using this method. So really anything is better nothing I guess, I also have to replace the carpet underlay which was thick so I am still at a lose.

I never understood why manufacturers don’t put a thin layer of MLV under the floor mats for extra sound proofing.

In regards to the MLV stuff, is it intended to be adhered to panels like other products, or "laid over" and left loose? I've seen a couple ameture-ish videos on KZread where they just drape it over the floorpan and hang it on door panels, but I've never seen anything formal about how to install it. :]

I wish I would of seen this the day it came out anyway I was wondering couldn't you just get a 5gallon bucket of bed liner and spray it on the more layers the thinker you can make it . it will be a rubber coating basically if needed you could add some type of mesh and spay over it if needed to be more solid. I have sound dentning rubber spray and it looks like the same thing it's just isn't texture like the bed liner. It's also way cheaper than buying all that mate a 5 gallon bucket can do quit a bit. Definitely would make the door solid structure you could spay the hole inside. if in a truck you don't even need the carpet back in with the floor bed liner.

CLD works on plastic too. A layer of that with some CCF on top as a decoupler. should deaden the floor nicely. I'd start with CLD (I've had great luck with Noico 80 mil) and see how you like it. If you want more, CCF would be my next step. Sound deadening is a slippery slope - your doors would also benefit from CLD applied to the external skin.

Well looks like I may have waisted some time and money I am restoring my 1998 s 10 ....etc cab .....had a water leak problem ....so I fixed that and pulled all the interior panels and carpet outta the truck ....sanded and primed the floor ( had to fix 2 small rust holes ) so I went on and just sanded all the surface rust down to bare metal and put one layer self etching primer and 2 layers of urathane primer ....then got on ebay ordered some sound mat but it was just 3/8 th inch foil faced non toxic foam with adhisive backing and just did 100 precent coverage on floor and back wall of cab rolled it all and foil tapped the seams ...also did both doors where door panels cover .... covered everything but where moving parts were (door rod and lock rod window crank spring etc.) Also took headliner out to be recovered and didn't do 100 precent coverage but did the space between where headliner attached .....but I did use just foil backed 3/8 in non toxic heat and sound mat ....not going to remove it ...that would be a nightmare....hope it helps....

The foam helps for sure, but it’s the CLD rubber layer that really adds the weight and dampens the panel.

I did research & sound proofing uses open cell foam.

Ture. CCF is meant to be a decoupler so vibrations aren't passed from one part, or panel, to another. It doesn't absorb sound waves. Resonix makes a great sound absorbing material that made a big difference in my doors.

Does it smell? I ask because it’s made of asphalt. Also, how much of a difference did you notice?

I would say the explanation for MLV in this video wasn’t exactly accurate. You would use MLV similar to how egg-cartons can be applied to help reflect interior sounds back into the vehicle, closed-cell foam to absorb sound transfer after the fact, and then your dynamat for the resonance. I’d say this is a good tutorial for someone just looking to make their bass not rattle their car, but to improve acoustics I’d refer to other sources (interior-to-exterior: MLV->closed-cell foam->dynamat)

@HifiVega

2 жыл бұрын

I respectfully disagree. If MLV was meant to help only with reflections it would not be mass loaded (weighted) and it’s behind the panels so it’s better for helping with road noise and panel noise in my experience.
