This is the only picture I have on my phone of me building up the CCF layout for my passenger floor:

Oh it is man. Applying the CLD tiles is real easy. You just figure about 25% coverage and try to do it evenly.

Then the hard part is building up the CCF/MLV templates so that they follow all the contours of the panel so you can get the carpeting back in.

FWIW, I use 1/4" thick CCF and 1/4" thick 1lb per sq/ft MLV. Any thicker probably wouldn't work in a sports car.

We should do a group project..steve, you can show us how to do it the right way.

Damn, I had no idea it was this involved.

Anyways, in dm's case, I'd start with covering 25% of your hatch. Tap on the panels before you start, then keep doing it as you add material. You'll hear a substantial change in sound as you go along. 25% coverage is all you're going to need.

This should eliminate all of the panel borne noise... it MIGHT be enough to take the edge off of the drone... if you want more then you'll need to look into CCF/MLV coverage.

Oh it's a PITA. Especially in the S. There's only so much space to work with. Adding deadening to the floor and trans tunnel cost me one rearward adjustment on the seat sliders, and moved the seat up 1/4" or so.

Good for you. I admit it when I feel that I deserve it.

Have you admitted yet that you were horribly wrong about the Superbowl?

Well we got to the AFC championship and led it at halftime, which was still pretty close. Yeah it was a bit of a miscalculation because I didn't take Ray Lewis' retirement into account.

Ohh dude, it was a nightmare getting the drivers seat out, those 2 rear bolts that hold the seat down, it took a ton of strength to get them out.

Getting the bolts to line up with all that sound deadening added is even worse.

ohhh no, I cant imagine.

That's weird. Although there were a lot of bolts, I had no problem popping the Z's seats out.
