Ok, so I have the rest of the week off and decided to start my sound deadening project. Soo... three hours later and one ugly door panel I am wondering how good of a job I am doing. I put two panels of dynamat and then topped it off with one layer of ensolite. The ensolite seemed to of made the biggest difference. My main questions is if anyone has any pictures of when they dynamated their door panels. I am wondering how far along the edge I should run the material and how many layers is ideal? I will try to post some pictures of my mess later.

 

I've put one layer in the doors and trunk and two or three over the wheel wells where it seemed most of the noise was coming from. I ended up with 75 sq.ft. of fatmat installed when I stopped.

 

Wow three hours for one door I did what paul350z did, one layer on the doors, two layers over the wheel wells, and one layer around the hole trunk area and in the cubby holes. Took me two days, with breaks during the day. The only thing that killed me were my knees

 

Well, it was almost a hundred degrees so warming the product and molding it was not a problem. Plus the ensolite was extremely easy to use. I had already stripped everything down as well. It was my first time so I expected it taking some time.

 

Have you checked to see if you can get the door panels back on yet? That sounds like a pretty thick buildup for behind the door panels.

 

I used a bulk pack and a half on the front doors

 

Unfortunately, that is one question I have to answer once I get my doors back from Nazar. I shipped him my 06 doors so he could use them as a prototype to get pods going for us 06 guys. I only did the driver side just for that reason. I am going to do one layer on the passenger side and trunk and then hold off until I get the panels back. Hopefully, I will not be peeling tar off my door for two days.

 

I did the entire inside of the car and both doors with 2 layers on the floor boards in 5 hours..

Ofcourse this wasnt the first time for me sound deadening a whole car and I have had it apart before..

 

I spent most of the time pulling tar off my hairy legs and figuring how best to cut the material for the best fit and look. Then I decided just to slop it on since no one was going to see it.

 

Best 3 tools for the Job,

Carpet Knife
Angled Corner "Putty" knife (Used for installing cauk)
Small Roller

Just cut the D-mat in strips as large as possible for each area and try to "Pre-cut" them before removing the backing. After that, use the roller and putty knife to push everything in place.

 

1 layer off dynomatt on the passenger door. 1 layer of spray in bed liner on the driver door. Combination of both in the trunk. 1 layer on the hatch. The spray bedliner is thick, works good, and covers the metal area better than dynomatt.

 

I eventually went with the tin snips and the second door will be much easier. I am going to cover all the mounting points with thick tape and then just put one large layer. I will then cut around those points and remove the tape so the nuts and bolts are accessible and not covered in tar and then do the same with the ensolite.
