Dynamat Treatment

fuct · 08-23-2010, 01:24 PM

the bulk pack of dynamat extreme is 36.4 square feet and weighs just over 16lbs.

evenly spready out in key areas you can make the rear and doors very quiet. my nismo was loud before!!!! even had a friend say damn it got much quieter in here.

the added weight is worth it.

cool, thanks for the info. yah, 16lbs is nothing.

im starting to put together my to do list for next season.

so far:

- dynamat trunk and doors
- while panels off, new front components (probably polks)

the Z's road noise level is like 5x louder than my G so this can quickly tighten up my bass response.

The Bulk pack is what I used as well. Definitely worth it.

Sounds like you will get it covered really well!

Don't forget the Scosche panel removal tool from Wal-Mart, makes removing the rear panels very easy. Less than 1 hour and I had the entire rear empty.

Thanks, yah, I'm going to take my time on this and try to get all the visible metal covered as much as possible.

I have a cheezo harborfreight version trim removal tool set I used during the foglamp/rear cam install. Thinking about it now, I shouldve done the dynamat then!

Should have it installed and done before the weekend.

What made you guys choose this brand over Second Skin? I'm interested in reducing road noise and adding some thump to the factory Bose system. Also, with the Second Skin application, some guys were adding some extra foam liner on top. Just trying to gain a clear understanding.

Thanks

im not very familiar with second skin or its services and dynamat is available at amazon (free 2 day shipping for me), cost effective, lot of past experience with it, etc.

i used all 8 sheets to do the trunk and the rear arches.

took like 3hrs.

i also added a black foam sheet on the ledge there to improve appearance
when i take out the trunk floor.

will take her out on a test drive over
the weekend.

Motored my Z this am and did notice significant noise reduction.

Noise level is probably about half. There's still plenty of noise but quite a bit toned down. I can hear bass notes quite a bit better now.

Nice, same thing I experienced as well.

Yah, can't wait to do the doors...!

TreeSemdyZee · 08-29-2010, 01:40 PM

I was going to do my doors today, but it's too flippin' hot. So I'm inside and the doors are outside.

kenchan · 08-29-2010, 02:59 PM

Haha, yah, I had 2 fans going when I was inside my trunk the other day.

TreeSemdyZee · 08-29-2010, 03:06 PM

Yeah. One of my neighbors was laughing at me yesterday because I had a window fan blowing while putting in my rears.

What was the process to removing the rear panels to get at the speakers, what exactly do you need to remove and in what order?
