Dynamat Part 2

So I finally got the "want" to do my rear doors a couple of days ago. It was a fun two nights in a row. First night I did the RSB bushings and end-link bushings until mid-night and then the night after I did the two rear doors until 11ish I think.

The rear doors are REALLY easy to take off. Use a flat-head to pry off the long solver plastic thing and the little cover by the handle. Then use a 10mm socket with an extension to get to the two bolts where you took the silver piece off and then the bolt by the handle. Now just pop the thing off and push up. Now there are only 4 screws holding the door handle on that you have to take off and BAM, it's off!

The first door I just did the outer portion and then I talked to silverfox04 and he said that doing the inner part would be beneficial as well, so I took the door off again and did the inner part and holly crap, knocking on the front door compared to the rear door is a night and day difference!!!

The entire process took me about 4 hours with quite a few half-*** moments and breaks as well. I did both the inner and outer part on BOTH rear doors.






I also took apart the front door but will explain that and post a few pics later.

I'm under the impression that even on the stock Bose system, dynamating the doors produces a huge difference in sound. I'm looking to keep the Bose and add a sub, but I want them to do exactly what you did and Dynamat EVERYTHING. How does it sound?

By the way, you are awesome.

Woot.

When I did the entire rear deck+frame behind the seats and under the rear seat; it made an AMAZING difference. Speakers have no more rattle under hard bass (very minimal, but I still have to dynamat UNDER the rear-deck and I have the non-Bose).

When I did the doors, it seems quieter when driving, but I'm sure it would make a huge difference if you have a LOUD system in the car, as in it would prevent all the rattles that would occur from the sound. Mind you that I have stock audio, just wanted a more "luxurious" and quiet ride, which is why I got this.

All in all, good shiet and the total weight addition would be roughly 50lbs, and that's IF you do all four doors, both inner and outer parts, entire rear deck, under the rear seat, and the entire trunk. So all of those haterz out there that say "omg omg omg, your car must be a dawg now!" should get ed

That means a lot coming from you, considering you are one of few that is very show worthy and performance worthy as well! Not to put others down, but I'm sure that many would agree with me.

I got the stuff from HIFI Sound Connection, cheapest place that I could find for Dynamat, but the name "Dynamat" is controversial to many on price, so check out the audio/electronics for "better" and "less expensive" sound deadening material, but from the list that I read on there, there were only a few that were worthy, so idk, it's up to you on which brand you actually pick.

I got three of the trunk kits which contain 5 sheets for $65. There is a "bulk pack" that contains 9 sheets that costs $125, but if you do the math, you will get one extra sheet for only $5 more if you get TWO boxes of the trunk kit! As you can tell, I don't just jump over the first thing I see

good luck
dan

Polak = A person (male) of polish origin (word in polish language, without all the offensive attachments),

Polka = same as above but for female.
