Sound Deadner

[DJ]

I want to sound deaden my doors on my ek hatch. So i was wondering if anyone knew where i could get Dynamat or Stinger Roadkil from & what it costs.
Ive tried Google but i cant find anyone that sells the stuff.

[vti-2]

Where are you based?

There are quite a few businesses that sell it here in Melbourne...

[Fhrx]

I'm more than happy to sell you Roadkill / G-Spot / Dynamat etc.

Email me if you like as I do special prices for my Oz Honda Forum buddies. :)

[DJ]

Which ones the cheapest?
How do u apply it to the surface u want to sound deaden?

[vti-2]

I've got G-Spot in mine. :)

It's easy to apply, the sheets are stick on so you just peel and stick.

[DJ]

Sounds easy enough. Do u have to sound deaden the other side of the door as well. In other words the side behind the speaker?

[wynode]

Where abouts did you apply it Vic? What improvements did you have?

[Rowie]

It's better if you do sound deaden the outer skin as well because it will give you a more solid sound. Bass from the speakers will go into that back chamber anyway, so if it's not sound deadened it may rattle a fair bit.

I've just about done the whole car. It has helped heaps in reducing road noise and the sound is clearer. I don't get as many rattles, all the panels are pretty solid when you tap them.

So u dont need to heat it at all?

I had to read that quote 3 times to realise you asked a question in my quote... :lol:

Anyway, yes, for it to stick the best you peel off the protective film, stick it on the surface then heat it while pressing with a cloth or something to seal it firmly to the surface.

Best investment EVER!
Just e-mail FHRX and he'll fix you up!

I did most of my passenger door last week using Flashtac. Unfortunately I ran out of the stuff and cfb continuing after I went and bought more.
A friend of mine took pics but she hasn't emailed them to me yet. I'll post them up once i get the pics.

You should put as much as you can afford. Budget about $100 for the two front doors.

Even a little bit is better than nothing at all. Infinantely better. Like this:

Something like this. (http://www.fastfoursforumscarclub.com/temp/fhrxstudios/photogallery_int.asp#interest4) :D

Weight increase depends on which sound deadener you use and how much you apply. For example, a box of Dynamat is from memory at least a few kg's. And that will probably just do the front doors.

I have only alittle bit more then the pic!
I wish i had money to get my boot done!
I'll get it done soon :D

Anyone got pics of their completed door?

[Fhrx]

Depends just how silly you want to go really.

Take this example, you take one door complete with badly fitted system:

Weave a little Fhrx Studio's magic on the inner skin:

Then finish the outer trim:

That one is using G-Spot Serenity Max. Here is another one using Stinger Road-kill:

OMG~! That's gonna cost heaps!

Is it okay to do just the outter skin?

How much does it usually cost for a professional job like that?

[Fhrx]

You're looking at about $110 for the deadening and around 2 hours at industry rates of $60.50 per hour. :D:D
