Dynamat how much?

[mynameisdaniel]

I suggest take it in steps. Do the dynamat on the areas you described and if you are happy then you're rocking. If you still want to quiet it down a bit more then add some dynapad.

Good thinking, it'll probably take a while if I don't get it all done over easter though, not that it really matters

hmm... while we are on topic, how hard would it be to dynamat a car?

thinking about doing all 4 doors and the boot. thats if i can get the door/boot trims off

Road noise u will need Dynapad on top of the Dynamat.

All sound deadening product used by it self is to reduce panels resonating. Not to reduce road noise. Many people get mixed up. Yes the car will feel slightly more solid due to the reduced levels of panels resonating.

IMO... its well worth deadening the vehicle to cover 25-50%. Anymore than that, value for money becomes less. I come from a school of OVERKILL so went hard out and did not regret a single cent!!!

The dynamat will reduce road noise a fair bit also (depending on how much of the panel you cover), but yeah, the dynapad will reduce it even more.

Andy, OVERKILL is an understatement for you. I saw the pics of your car getting dynamatted at FHRX, it was CRAZY! Is there 1 square inch that isnt covered in your car?

Only the two front doors were done by fhrx... The rest was done all by myself. Loads of hrs but well worth it. Not a single mm was uncovered on the floor, doors, boot, tailgate, rear outter n inner panels. In fact many parts were double layered n left overs went on rear panels (3layers).

Not hard at all. Just Xtremely time consuming. Took me 26hrs to rip everything out n install the deadening. A DIYer can easily install it.
Just make sure u put lots of love into it ie. No air bubbles (using roller and/or back of screwdiver)

Does adding the the extra bulk make putting stuff back together harder? Any areas to be cautious of?

I will be sound deadening a Liberty next week in Mulgrave. You can pop over if you want and have a look how its done. Or I can give you a hand at some point also if you want.

At this stage it looks like it will be happening Wednesday evening after 6pm. Could possibly even carry over into Thursday evening too.

Bulk pack of Stinger Roadkill is $200 delivered from FHRX in Sydney which is great value for money. They also sell the Dynamat for $299 delivered. So you have options. 9 sheets of either is plenty for a whole car.

Shouldn't make putting anything back on difficult. Just avoid covering up any clip holes and allowing sufficient space around these holes. Also allow sufficient space around the edge of trims and they should all go back on sweet.
