Racegod,

ur install is going to be done for oct 5th or a show after that ? ...

If your funds are limited Racegod, concentrate on the front doors, and trunk area. If you have material left, then do firewall and work you way down throughout the floorpan and then roof.

Racegod, the second skin shop packs can be replaced by multiple trunk kits. (a trunk kkit is 20 sq ft not 40 like i said before). 4 trunk kits are the same cost and acreage as a shop pack. Check fen for it.

silent_riot,

yea i already got the pricing from fen.. so i'll collect Sat morning, and start installing...

I finally got some sound deading and installed. It was not that difficult to do for a first timer, just needed an extra pair of hands and some patience. After stripping the doors and starting, I realise just how easy it is. I did have some difficult with the stock wires on the doors. Pics below of one of the doors after completed, it may not look as good as others, but for a DIY I am pleased with the outcome.

Did both inside the door and the outer area, door got alot heavier afer finished.

Comments are welcomed.

looks professional imho

Pirate · Postby **Pirate** » October 12th, 2008, 12:15 pm

what is the price to install (have the dampening material already) on the trunk lid?
also who can do this install very neat?!?

what is the cost of the rubber roller to smoothen the sound damping?

GVTrini07 · Postby **GVTrini07** » October 12th, 2008, 12:41 pm

Q, thanks for the compliment, means alot from the guys who have done this before..

Pirate, I got the roller for 125.00 @ Fens. When I got the Mat, I thought I needed an installer also but I am glad I did it myself. IMO you don't really need an installer. Just patience, maybe someone to help and a heat gun. I got one burrowed for the job. I saw someone even used a hair drier on the forum.

After small trial and error this is what worked for me:-

measured the area needed and cut to suit
peeled the back of the mat just a little and stick one end onto the area I was covering, Sticking and rolling and peel only a little area at a time, working along this way until finished.

The hardest thing for me, as I am not an installer was the wires and doing the inside of the door. With a little patience and accessing the job first before you start I am sure you can do this by yourself.

This has been the first upgrade on my little project so far. Currently still using a Pair of 6" 18 Sounds (Changing to Alpine SPX-17Pro) on the door until I acquire all the other components to begin, so my reviews on it is based on the 18 Sound.

Considerable improvment in the Clarity of the Vocals of different Genre of Music.
Was able to set crossover HPF lower from where it was to a little below 80 HZ and still sounded cleaner and clearer. Prior to putting the Mat, 120 Hz was probably the lowest I could have gone where the mid bass started to sound distorted which for some reasonaffected Vocals...

I have bass upfront

Music blends in much with the sub in the back and speakers up front sounds fuller. "Imaculate Collection" have never sounded so good in my car before.

Small drop in External Noise, nothing much to talk about, but when added to the increase clarity in the sound it is quite noticable.

I would recommend this to be the first thing anyone does to upgrade any music system. I am sure even stock speakers will sound a lot better with sound dampening... It is not overrated...
