Sound Deading, how much?

[95GTST]

Anyone properly sound deadend their front doors? If so, how much do you need/did you use all up?

[hippy]

i will doing mine soon .. i'm expecting to cost about 200 for good quality deadener that will do front doors and boot .. hopefully have enough to do back rear quarters

[Nav2k]

about that ^

theres lotsa different types too, paints , mats etc.

[ron]

how much? cost or material?

material? the more the better. use something like brownbread from jaycar. they are very easy to use and cost around $20 retail for 2 sheets of 1foot squared.

spray on are good for hard to reach places it will expand also.

but for the tarish sprayons you will need to strip the car for best results.

hope this help.

ps do your boot first if you have subs and on a budget, cos its the best place to spend on.

Maybe ron should do some searching like he has advised others

I line my doors with lead sheet with contact adhesive.

Its great stuff and is great for deadening doors.

I also use this stuff in my home speakers, you can get it at mitre 10 for a very reasonable price, I forget how much though.

Thanks ghostdog!

No worries dude, fighting resonance and rattles requires some experience, glad to help out.

Btw, we just got a an R33 94 GTST. It's stock as rock, like a virgin on prom night ready for some action

[LukeR33GTS]

do you apply the deadener to the door frame or the door skin, i would have thought the skin but a mate applyed his to the frame between the inside lining

[gtrGhosTDoGG11]

Mainly to the door skin.

I also stick a special plate of foam directly behind the speaker.

It is placed on the inside of the metal door skin.

Has anyone got any pix of the installs they've done?

[dan_the_man]

Does it make a big difference to the sound? Does it give the doors that nice bmw THUNK sound when u close them?

[gtrGhosTDoGG11]

If you know what your doing and apply sound deadening prodigiously, the results are excellent.

You remove all the rattles and resonance that would other wise affect the sound.

And no, you do not get the quality thud sound when closing the door. To do that, you will to upgrade your door seals or something like that.
