I would suggest before since you may need to adjust and shorten the lengths. You could run it either way, but I did it after.

MORE PICS COMING UP TONIGHT!!!

 

Ok, so I had a gallon of Spectumr left, so what the hell? I just dumped the whole thing in and smeared it around...



...and since I am doing the rear seats, and the Max gets hella wind noise from the trunk, I added a layer of Damplifier to the backing of the rear seats...



...and a layer of sludge!

 

yikes that car will make absolutely NO noise from ANYWHERE when it's all put back together. Luxo style

 

INITIAL IMPRESSIONS:

Had my system hooked up for a little while this afternoon, and HOLY ****!!!!!! THIS CAR IS SEALED!!!!

Wanna hear the funny thing? Vibrations travel so well in the car that there is indeed one place that still rattles...THE HOOD.

 

dude..just go kill yourself now...just go..i cant believe you didnt do that hood..lol...just kidding man..if you kill yourself that i cant see the car when you decide to drive it down here to cali...so gj man...again..i like the next list that you have in progress..what else is ther eto do after putting back the interior? are you technically done?.or is there more?

 

They make some sound deadening stuff for hoods if I'm not mistaken

 

Take out the engine so you can fill the engine bay with foam.

 

2005 = Interior
2005/2006 = Huge Engine Bay dress-up
2006 = Exterior

Yeah, it's not too bad, only when I am eally blasting house music...I would need to add some damplifier to the ceiling. I guess that kinda completley robs me of the idea of a cf hood.

 

wow, i gotta hear your system bro.

 

Oh, IT'S GOOD.

At least I think so, I really have yet to hear many of the other audiophile systems here, and I am quite sure they will put me to shame.

 

x2 you gotta come to an NE meet!!

 

It does not. Although 3M spray glue is your friend.

 

wish i had the funds for this project

 

There is a product called Hoodliner. I know Dynomat makes that one, supposed to block out engine noise and helps protect the hood from engine heat that causes your paint to fade. It's a pretty thick pad. I currently have it on my max and it made some difference. With all the work I have been putting in lately I haven;t had time to complete my sound deadening project, but since Saturday morning is looking free, maybe I'll post some pics of the little stuff I'm doing to the my Max. Trunk is already done, just have a few spots to brush up on. Doors and dash area is next.

Dan you have pm.

 

I honestly hold that comp set in high regard....i dont think you'll have much to envy...its spectacular in its own way... and when you move the tweets to the sails glassed on in angle it will be ****...

did you reverse the polarity as i mentioned? Its even recommended on the manual..

 

Yeah I had no idea the spatial difference would play such an impact. Not to mention I REALLY need to get the step on tuning the HU, particularly the time delay!

Flipping the phase of the woofers, right?

 

i hope ur window motors or regulators dont break, becuase i doubt u will be able to change them. But omg i love what your doing. Probably the best sounding max evar


OMG bro my bad, i didnt see that i forget the DONT

Bro my bad seriously

 

 

Jeez dude...

 

easy man, it was a mistype. easy easy easy

 

Whoa, my bad x 1-million...I'll edit that right now. Thanks for the compliment.

Anyway, back to the subject, DEADENING'S ALMOST DONE!!! I have to finish adding weatherstripping to the window gaskets and the B-Pillars this week then NO MORE DEADENING!!!! (this year)

I just put the backseats in and yep...it's DAMN quiet! I won't be able to get a full evaluation until I get the passenger seat in, but it seems like all this was worth it.

 

........ aqward.......... sorry bout the mishap


Can't wait to see the final product with all completed!

 

Excellent work to say the least. I wish I still had the time/patience to do such a thing to my own car. Other then the hood though, I belive there is just 1 thing that you overlooked. I dont think its going to be an immediate problem as of yet, but in time you'll see what I mean.

The rear view mirror. Mine never feel off ( guess I got a strong 1 from the factory ) but it does rattle about 5x worse then anything else in the car. If only I could take the dam think apart and pour some spectrum inside, that would be nice

This is something that happend after having the bumps in for a good period of time (1yr for me) probably also depends on how strong your low end is too.
Anyway, best of luck with the setup. By far 1 of the best sound deading setups ive ever seen If you do decide to try to take care of the rearview, ill be watching.

 

Metal Maxima = Weapons of Aural Destruction
Ride = 2001 Ghetto Rice Eating VQ30DE-K
Weight = 35 Thousand pounds of sound deadening
0-60 = 8.5 days

 

but I still hope I get to see this car when I move back to nj

 

he said its only like 170 lbs extra weight. its just like carrying a friend around all the time. a really, REALLY quiet friend

 

hahaa that made me crack up for like t mins, i need a life

 

LOL! 6
I think I am going to have to work this into my sig.

My life ended back in February when I started all of this.

 

hopefull itll make you some money from some less experienced org members tho man

 

Use the damplifier on the hood if you still have some. I used about 4 sheets so far and its ALOT quieter than it was before. Stuff is holding up very well, no signs of it coming loose. Im amazed on how well it worked on the hood though, took away alot of vibrations.

Im loving this Damplifier sound deadening!

 

well ummm..... i dont know what to say you are the ultimate audio/deadening god i give mad props to you im just deadening my trunk and doors i feels so.........newbish now

 

looks good but for me that is overkill but not for you. i jsut started this project as well and i am using raammat bxt.

 

Metal,
How much approx. in square feet of deadening mat did you use to do the floor? And trunk?

 

what happened to the pics?

 

Gone forever.

Can someone please lock this thread?

 

Is Dan still alive, or did the FBI get too suspicious ??

IBTL

 

man i want to be an official lurker. ibtl.
