pomme Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 Hiya Guys, Basically im getting an enclosure built with sub, amp, phatnoise, and ps2. And have been advised to add some Dynamat to the boot area which i will do, but im just wondering if it is worth doing the rest of the car. Ive tried to see how much noise dedening there is in the car, and there seems quite a bit, so would it be worth it adding the dynamat to the rest?

rs32 Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 have experimented with Dynamat before in a few cars - it is excellent for sound quality but does add a good deal of weight. If you do the whole boot then that's a fair surface area and if you also then do the door cards and carpets that is really quite a lot of the stuff so beware the extra kg. there seem to be a few different grades available - tech specs here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pomme Posted April 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 Would it really make that much difference to performance ie 0-60 times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rs32 Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 with the original type of dynamat this could have made a difference - but apparently they've improved things with the 'extreme' product which is much lighter. Perhaps this is the way to go and wouldn't have any noticable affect on the car's performance. Am looking at this myself for the MkV as the sound deading quality of the door cards is compared to the MkIV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pomme Posted April 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 Yeah i have also heard the extreme is around 1/3 the weight of the normal stuff, so was thinking of betting a bulk pack of the stuff and having a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rs32 Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 the only thing that stops me doing this myself is no matter how careful I am, the fecking door card clips always snap on me lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pomme Posted April 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 Yeah i know what you mean but i know a few poeple down near me who have done dynamat installs loads of times, on mk3s and mk4s. With the idea to meet up and be shown how to do it, with around 4 cars being present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rs32 Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 your post prompted me to give a local audio fitter a call this morning - going to them a week wednesday to get the car sized up and various options looked at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattcony Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 I’ve done mine in Dynamat Extream, got a bulk pack from flee bay for £60 I think it was. Extream is the same weight its just you don’t have to use as much of it as its ment to be more efficient so less layers are required, I did my front doors and this made a big difference cutting down road noise making my new door speakers sound awesome and making an even better clunk when you shut the door. I will post you up some pictures a bit later on of the install and what I did cheers matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
