how much deadener do i need

I'm gonna make the plunge today and get sound deadener. how much have you guys used on a full install... from the trunk to the cabin and the doors.

What are you going to use? Fiberglass doors are already pretty resistant to resonance as is and IMO do not require the typical 2+ layers of deadener. Hmm I used about 1/2-2/3 gallon of edead v3 liquid deadener + 30sq ft of Dynamat Extreme + Cowboys kit. I am pretty resonant/rattle free. I used extra Cowboys kit to help tighten up some areas where I had rattles and it has worked well.

Liquid is only on/in the doors and in the front tub area. I have Cowboys kit throughout and I have Dynamat Extreme on the door panels around the speaker mounts and underneath and around the sub.

Bout time

i was thinking either completely doing it in v1se or a combo of cowboy's and v1se (or dynamat extreme since i can get it locally).

I used 3 bulk boxes of Dynamat Extreme. I found somes deals on Ebay that saved a BUNCH of money from regular stereo shops, well over half. I did all the hatch, drivers compartment, and the doors. It is alot quieter than before. Huge difference. You will be glad you finally did it!

On Ebay go to: Consumer Electronics > Car Electonics > Installation Products > Acoustic Dampening Materials

Watch the freight charges, some charge way more than others.

how many sq feet are in the bulk packs? 36 sq/ft?

bfhawki · 03-28-2006, 03:23 PM

If I remember right, I think there are 9 sheets in the bulk pack. I just went and looked on Ebay and the prices vary from $85 to $120 plus the freight. Look at my previous post and it will show you how to get there.

scott_fx · 03-28-2006, 03:31 PM

cool, i think i am going to go with the v1se though (per pentavolvo's experience and the price difference ~$100) for 108 sq ft.

scott_fx · 03-28-2006, 05:59 PM

ok, it's done :-) 110 sq ft of v1se. FINALLY doing it right

DPG · 03-28-2006, 06:03 PM

well if your gonna do it right, you might as well go with the v4 as well. just an idea

I guess the v4 takes care of other frequencies that the mats dont. I think, dont quote me on that.
