I can honestly say that Kelly did a pretty outstanding job in applying the sound deadening. Her work looked a lot better than jobs I've done when applying on my own vehicles over the years.
Be careful about applying kilmat to the inside bottom of the door. There are drain holes for the water that gets between the glass and the rubber gasket. If you block one, there will be water accumulation and RUST.
I just did my Subaru Forester tailgate. 2.5 sheets, "ting" is now a "tung". Tips : put the sheets out in the sun, and allow them to heat up as you are prepping the doors (this makes adhering and forming the mats much easier), and second, double-fold a peice of aluminum foil, and use it as a moldable template, to form to a 3D shape, then lay flat on the matting, to get your cut shapes. 👍
Hey bro I like how you and your wife works together that’s how me and my wife is you need to do more video’s with her so people can see how married couples should be loved the video bro 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾✌🏽
I did my box with the KilMat and was super happy. I stripped the interior and did the floor boards as well. I used about a box and a half of the 50 mil. To me it made a huge difference as I upgraded the stereo at the same time.
Have done half our car with my partner (tho with tons more arguing). Front doors being done tomorrow. I’m really enjoying it and if the speakers sounds 10% better I’ll be happy. Great vid
Four screws will stop the tag from rattling. In the hatch cavity I would use an egg crate bed foam pad. I used egg crate foam in my Honda pilot in the body cavities that didn’t have moving parts (windows). I used a heavy acoustic mat on the door skins, then a thin mat on the door panels. Used heavy mat under the rear carpet and inside the body panels in the rear with the egg crate filling all the air space. The difference was night and day! The pilot had so much road noise it was nuts. I sound proofed it before a Disney trip and it was so much better. My wife loves it.
@@ExtremeDailyDrivers I just discovered you a couple weeks ago while searching for a "how to install a sub" video. Just picked up my '08 xB a couple weeks ago. Thanks for all your work. New sub!
If the goal was to eliminate rattle from a high powered sound system, this might help. Shoulda used that fancy kilmat under the spare tire, front floor, firewall, over rear wheel wells. Use your phone with an SPL meter to find air leaks and noise spikes to save time and fancy damping products.
Thank you for sharing guys! I have a Honda Fit and the road noise & vibrations are crazy! Hard to have conversations LOL! Purchasing Michelin tires minimized the noise a bit but I want it to be less noisy. I will attempt to do this myself. God bless you both!! =))
I used a construction product called peel and stick, or maybe stick n peel, but at any rate it was a tar based roofing repair material that was self adhesive with a backing strip. It was cheap because it was not intended for car sound deadening, but to patch roofs or ducts etc. It came in rolls a foot wide, and other widths I think. It wasn't like a Matt material, I used it more for weight, to deaden the tinny sound of doors, trunks, etc. Any lightweight area that tended to sound tinny or buz this stuff would deaden. It might be more effective to use sound INSULATING materials in other parts of the car, like the floor, if that is an issue, but this was all I needed, because my car aready had good factory deadening in the floor. I just needed to put some ballast on some of those big panels. And this stuff was CHEAP. I got it at Home Depot years ago. Now the downside is that your car will smell like a roof job for a few days, but it goes away. The material gets hard and dries out, at least at the surface level. Plus I had my doors sealed with plastic anyway so it wouldn't have mattered even if it did smell a bit. But I know it doesn't because I didn't close up my doors right away. It took a few summers days for the smell to subside., and then when I put on my panels, I forgot about it, so I guess it wasn't bad. But it did seem to be tar based. It was like flexible black tar rolls, but perhaps mixed with other stuff because it wasn't that nasty. Just an idea folks, Worked great for my car. The side that wasn't stuck I believe had a foil coating, so it kinda looked cool too.
Good tip to follow is to clean the area of application with isopropyl alcohol or a degreasing agent to get rid of the dirt and grease which will allow for a better adhesion.
@@ExtremeDailyDrivers yeah unfortunately I had to learn this one the hard way. I was in the Navy, took 3 days of leave to do an install on my vehicle I had at the time. Applied Dynamat to the roof using a heat gun only for all of it to come down in the heat. Had I cleaned the surface beforehand that wouldn't have happened. I used Windex believe it or not on my current vehicle to clean the surface and the stuff hasn't come off yet for the past 3 years in this Phoenix heat! 💪🏿💪🏿
I bought the siless brand and the 9 dollar roller. In total it was 74 dollars on Amazon. Came with 36 square feet, don't remember how big the sheets were but there was 18 sheets in the box. I completely covered every bit of the trunk in my Corolla, and I have 3 sheets left over. If you do it outside in the heat, the adhesive starts to melt and it's a real mess trying to get the backing paper off I got adhesive all over my hands.i cut it easily with a pair of scissors.
Recommend material like that on inside for sure. I use thin padded weather stripping for my license plates. Keeps it from flexing or vibrating against the body. Running a heat gun or hair dryer over the sealer that the inner plastic liner and it allows you to re-use it providing you store it without sticking it to something on the side.
Nice. I’m about to do my Camaro with 80 mil killmat and I’m also doing the siless 157 mil closed cell foam on places like the doors that will really cut down on road noise. I want my stereo to sound amazing and to be able to feel the pressure change when I close my doors 😂
I just discovered your channel about a day ago and have found so much great advice, tips and just great XB content. I've been looking for your latest content but no luck....
If i'm not mistaken. The thinner sound deadening works better against high frequencies and thats why bass traps are chonky vs PC sound deadening which is uber thin to combat coil while and fan noise. If i am correct it would explain the lack of siginifact difference as road/wind noise waves will pass right through that stuff. Also most of the road noise is probably coming from the floor.. my 2 cents anyway.
I'm about to do this to my 2012 Honda Civic LX. It's a base model Civic and has alot of hard plastic and barely any insulation under the panels so I hope this will make the vehicle a little more quiet.
Great job. Did mine a few years ago and it made a big difference. I did have to go back in and add a strip over the plastic cups that the door lock pulls sit in because those things will rattle. For next week, If you install one of the small squarish cameras, I mounted mine using a screw for the license plate lights and ran the wiring through the factory harness. One word of advice, if you can, run the camera with steady power source and not the backup light power like they suggest. There is a delay in the camera coming on and I am usually almost done backing up before it finally comes on. I plan on changing that in the near future. Great job and great videos as usual.
It might have worked great but eventually, it will loosen and trap water. More importantly, Great Stuff emits a lot of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) which are poison gases. Most plastic emits VOCs but the foam will make it much worse.
Thanks for sharing your experience. How is the Kilmat material holding up since your installation? I am considering sound dampening underneath my carpet and back wall behind my back bench seat. It has been 3 + years since I learned and now finally stopped all water leaking in my truck [2005 GMC Sierra]. Nearly four years ago I thought I was dealing with only a falling headliner, but that was just a visible problem due to a unknown water leaking problem. I had to do a lot myself because no auto body shop would take the job! Every auto shop that just works through insurance SUCKS!!!! I took my truck to a auto glass shop and they said there is any water leaking in the truck! I found a great mechanic at a great auto service garage that takes on all jobs!
Use FROSTKING duct insulation in your doors from home depot. Civic guys figured this out. Dirt cheap, you can use a lot and it works for paper thin cheap doors. They also have Frost king foam to line your door. Do it
Nice job - another thing added to my toaster list for the summer! Isn’t it funny how our partners always seem to do a better job on our toaster than we expect them to? She killed her side!! But somebody had to hold the camera, right? LOL
Should of covered the holes on the hatch back. Also stuff if with rockwool insulation. As well and sound dead we on the inside of the plastic panels with adhesive felt on the contact corners.
You just have to stick it on the flat surface, no need to cover it all and you don't have to stick it on the bone structure or beam. Flat surface transfers vibration more easily, and you need to dampen the noise with foam. You might use carpet glass wool (yeah it's way lighter and cheaper than asphalt/butyl patch) to prevent gap area resonates noise, just like acoustic guitar effect. You can stick carpet glass wool just on the inside part of your door trim using double tip. There's a video on UA-cam that proves a small patch of an asphalt mat can deaden the crash of a cymbal.
The piece they do put in does make a huge difference by reducing whole panel from vibrating. Adding more does improve it a lot though. Especially when it's worn out like yours was. Those snips you use have been available here in NZ since the early 1980s. They are that good- yes.
Good video, just keep in mind the bottoms of your doors at the shell seam, have slits or holes for water to drain as some water always gets inside the door when it rains or the carwash. Do not cover those. Starting on my car this week!
If you want to see the most improvements in sound deadening you need to take out the seats and do the floor and head liner you will see the most improvement the doors do a little helps with vibration from the speakers
Hey thanks for the in depth info and tutorial, even if I had a different car it helped. And a huge thanks to your wife, she rocks at the application. May have to ask mine for help lol, I don't have gift wrapping skills either 😅!! Definitely buying kilmat to help my Mazda Hatch.
@@ExtremeDailyDrivers Sounds good, also got a MX5/ND2 soft top....so will have to make that happen with the extra amount of kilmat that will probably be left. Thank you. Now just have to find some sort of guide on how to gut out a Mazda 3 hatch!
Great job you 2!!! You make a terrific team! Really love your enthusiasm! You accidentally kept referring your installation as “Dynamatting”. Dynamat is a product & so is Kilmat. Noico, etc. You were applying sound deadening to your car. Or, since you’re using Kilmat (a very good product BTW), you’re Kilmatting the car. The really BIG difference in sound reduction will occur when you apply sound deadening to your car’s engine bulkhead, floor & wheel wells since that’s by far where the vast majority of the car’s engine, exhaust & road noise comes from. Have fun!!!
The key to our videos is to never actually listen to what I say because 9 times out of 10, it's incorrect. Lol. Don't listen, just look at the pictures. Thanks for watching.
Covering the entire license plate with the Kilmat is overkill. Need only 25% coverage. Closed cell foam would also work and it adds no weight. Bolting in the plate on four corners and filling the gap between the plate and the bodywork will prevent it from vibrating. Save the added weight for the body panels. Very clean job with cutting and placing the mats. Impressive.
I'm not going to say your are wrong, but what we did worked like a charm. I did the same thing to my Prelude's license plate and it fixed that vibe too. Thanks for watching!
The level of encouragement and lack of mansplaining, winning Brandon tons of husband points! 🤣🤣🤣 The interior door handles are actually easy to remove. Unfortunately mine all broke upon removal due to the age of the plastic. However, removed them to install chrome plastic ones. A lighter and moderate alternative to the killmat is the closed cell foam from another company. Okay that’s the route I went. Cuts with sewing scissors and no roller necessary. Adds a bit of temp insulation as well. Same size box as what you got but maybe weighs a pound or 2.
I have a 2011 scion xb bought it brand new still runs like a dream. I put on like 195k on it already. I think if you'd do the same for the roof and floor replace the door seals it would make a huge difference. But overall good job kelly!!!
I heard the roof makes the biggest difference, but we are really happy with the result we achieved with just doing the doors and rear hatch. Thanks for watching.
...snip snip, cool stuff man! I'm going to have to redo my hatch after I replace so I might as well go with this, I currently just have some sponge in there and some cork stick-ums behind the license plate, it works but could be better. I basically used the technique I use to quiet my drums. I would like place some of those underneath the carpet. Great video guys. Looking forward to next week's vid, only thing, you guys will be looking backwards with the rear camera, wouldn't you rather look forwards and out of crap 2020 and onto 2021! Tan tan tan, last corny joke of the year. Merry New Year's to you guys and all XDD nation!!
@@ExtremeDailyDriversfully understand. I’m mentioning due to your review saying how it didn’t kill much road noise. I like to comment to help others understand why and what they can do for better results.
soundproofing a car with huge pipe catback exhaust and roof rack :D it will probably improve audio quality a bit, but it's still annoying to drive it on a longer distances ;)
i think its better you put the sound sheet on the door panel and not inside it, why? because the wind will escape from the windows and if you cover the door panel, it will cover the gaps then it reduce air escape also along side with weather strip along side the door will reduce noise that what i want to do
You are so positive guys!)))))) And really cool video! May we ask for your permission to share it for our customers and tag you? Thank you in advance!)
I got that same stuff in mine and love it. The hatch definitely has solid feel when it shuts. 2 quick things, you covered an access hole for the hatch handle when doing the hatch(you'll see when you do the camera) and I took off the taillights access panel oeices and was able to put sound deadening on the rear quarter panels that way. Love the video, can't wait to see how the camera turns out. I like mine, alot. Helps out so much since the windows are tinted heavly on mine.
@@ExtremeDailyDrivers its not too bad. Worst part was fishing the wires through the hatch and down the inside of that rear quarter. I used a spot where the wiper motor bolted up for the ground. Than ran the video cable and a hot wire together through the hatch, tapped the hotwire to the reverse signal wire at the tail light, than the video cable uo to the front following the amp/sub wires.
May be a dumb question, but does doing this take away from the price value of a vehicle? Not a huge concern, just don't want to ruin the value of anything I choose to sound-proof.
Hey everyone! Here is a link to pick up a box of Kilmat! amzn.to/3O55Xv7

@@ExtremeDailyDriversit is a lot of work but the floor is where most of the noise comes from. Tyre vibration and road noise is cut completely.
@@chrisaustin1969 Actually the roof is the biggest amplifier, plus it's closest to your ears. Nonetheless this stuff mostly cuts down on rattles.

The 2nd box I owned I sprayed the whole back hatch full of great stuff foam. That door was SOLID!! 🤣
That must have been crazy! I'm already noticing the hatch struts are struggling with the extra weight on the hatch door.
It might have worked great but eventually, it will loosen and trap water. More importantly, Great Stuff emits a lot of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) which are poison gases. Most plastic emits VOCs but the foam will make it much worse.
I broke both tabs on each of the door handles as it seems impossible not to. They are solid when you put the panel back on though.

you need to cover those maintenance holes/gaps in the doors with it too. creating a sealed enclouse for your speakers.

If you want to reduce road noise you have to pull the carpet up and do the floor

Yes, you are right. This is not really for noise deadening. It's for rattles and it does a great job with that. Thanks for watching.

@@ExtremeDailyDrivers Sounds good, also got a MX5/ND2 soft top....so will have to make that happen with the extra amount of kilmat that will probably be left. Thank you.
Now just have to find some sort of guide on how to gut out a Mazda 3 hatch!
Huge difference would be headliner and footwells.
For sound deadening, yes. This is for rattles. Thanks for watching.
Great job you 2!!! You make a terrific team! Really love your enthusiasm!
You accidentally kept referring your installation as “Dynamatting”. Dynamat is a product & so is Kilmat. Noico, etc. You were applying sound deadening to your car. Or, since you’re using Kilmat (a very good product BTW), you’re Kilmatting the car.
The really BIG difference in sound reduction will occur when you apply sound deadening to your car’s engine bulkhead, floor & wheel wells since that’s by far where the vast majority of the car’s engine, exhaust & road noise comes from. Have fun!!!
The key to our videos is to never actually listen to what I say because 9 times out of 10, it's incorrect. Lol. Don't listen, just look at the pictures. Thanks for watching.
@@ExtremeDailyDrivers, that’s the same with me too. I still “Xerox” documents instead of copying them.
Hey since you seem to know about this stuff, is the 50' of 50mil worth it or do you really need the 80mil to notice a big difference in noise?
Get the 80 mil. It's like a $10 difference. #gobigorgohome
Ah nice, I was planning on grabbing some Kilmat as well.
Totally worth it!
Can i use it on the top of the car dashboard?
Sure. I wouldn't tho.
Love the videos, feed back on the work done and that team work is great!
that dynamat material is also a great insulator
In combination to what you've done here if you had installed mass loaded vinyl it would have significantly reduced road noise.
Was this all from the same box? Sorry for the late question
Yes with TONS left over. We did our entire Miata with what was left.
Wait!? Are you doing the floors? I ordered the same kit
No, but there is probably enough in one box to do it.
Covering the entire license plate with the Kilmat is overkill. Need only 25% coverage. Closed cell foam would also work and it adds no weight. Bolting in the plate on four corners and filling the gap between the plate and the bodywork will prevent it from vibrating.
Save the added weight for the body panels.
Very clean job with cutting and placing the mats. Impressive.
I'm not going to say your are wrong, but what we did worked like a charm. I did the same thing to my Prelude's license plate and it fixed that vibe too. Thanks for watching!
You only need to cover 1/3 of the surface area to elimate vibration frequency.
Thanks for the tip!
@titoham-DCXLs whatever you say master
The level of encouragement and lack of mansplaining, winning Brandon tons of husband points! 🤣🤣🤣
The interior door handles are actually easy to remove. Unfortunately mine all broke upon removal due to the age of the plastic. However, removed them to install chrome plastic ones.
A lighter and moderate alternative to the killmat is the closed cell foam from another company. Okay that’s the route I went. Cuts with sewing scissors and no roller necessary. Adds a bit of temp insulation as well. Same size box as what you got but maybe weighs a pound or 2.
Great idea!!! How many square feet did you both actually have to use so I know how much to order. Mahalo!
Just order from the link in the video's description. It's more than enough. Thanks for watching.
Heaven workiing on your ride with the missus. I was convinced the red toyota was going to rear end you. I couildn't look.
Especially when she is better at what you are doing than you are! Thanks for watching and I would never let myself get rear ended. #headonaswivel
Spray the wheel 🛞 wells with Second Skin spray on deadener and hit the top side of the liners
Great tip! Thanks for watching.
I have a 2011 scion xb bought it brand new still runs like a dream. I put on like 195k on it already. I think if you'd do the same for the roof and floor replace the door seals it would make a huge difference. But overall good job kelly!!!
I heard the roof makes the biggest difference, but we are really happy with the result we achieved with just doing the doors and rear hatch. Thanks for watching.
Roof makes the biggest difference but a big pain on the xb2.
Did you install on the Prelude?
No, but I should.
...snip snip, cool stuff man! I'm going to have to redo my hatch after I replace so I might as well go with this, I currently just have some sponge in there and some cork stick-ums behind the license plate, it works but could be better. I basically used the technique I use to quiet my drums. I would like place some of those underneath the carpet. Great video guys. Looking forward to next week's vid, only thing, you guys will be looking backwards with the rear camera, wouldn't you rather look forwards and out of crap 2020 and onto 2021! Tan tan tan, last corny joke of the year. Merry New Year's to you guys and all XDD nation!!
Happy New Year to you too, JC!! This audio stuff has been fun, but I'm tired of taking the interior apart! One more week and I'll be finished!
Should have used ccf. Closed cell foam. That’s what reduces road noise.
Our goal was to reduce rattles. Thanks for watching.
@@ExtremeDailyDriversfully understand. I’m mentioning due to your review saying how it didn’t kill much road noise. I like to comment to help others understand why and what they can do for better results.
Always use a db meter before and after.
Nah, no reason. This is for rattles, not sound. Thanks for watching.
Don't know how I didn't find your channel sooner
UA-cam is trying to keep it a secret!!
First cuts just 2 cuts needed. Put plate on 2 edges of the kilmat.
Wow. You are a genius. Thanks for your comment.
Doors yes, but you didn't do the floor? Road / tyre noise / engine and transmission - surely they come from the front of car and under?
This is more for rattles. Our roof didn't rattle. Thanks for watching.
is kill mat waterproof/anti-microbial
I doubt it.
About to start that soon. She’s hired 🤣🤣🤣🤣
soundproofing a car with huge pipe catback exhaust and roof rack :D
it will probably improve audio quality a bit, but it's still annoying to drive it on a longer distances ;)
Lol. This is a 1.5 liter engine and it's an axle back exhaust. Your mom's sewing machine is louder. Thanks for watching.
I prefer Noico over kilmat. it costs more, but it's heavier per sq inch
Thanks for watching
Awesome job. Well done.
Thank you! Happy holidays!
i think its better you put the sound sheet on the door panel and not inside it, why? because the wind will escape from the windows and if you cover the door panel, it will cover the gaps then it reduce air escape also along side with weather strip along side the door will reduce noise that what i want to do
This isn't for sound deadening. It's to stop rattles and create a better environment for your music. Thanks for watching.
You removed the plastic weather proofing sheet and didn’t put it back? Did I see it correctly? Is it wise?
Did you see the shape it was in? We didn't have much of a choice. It's not 100% necessary. You'll be fine without it.
@@ExtremeDailyDrivers okay 👍🏻
I did the whole interior of my Silverado and I swear it’s quieter but I think it is a placebo effect. Lol
That's awesome!
You need to Killmat over those big holes in the door.
Put some foam on the doorcards and in the door.
The speaker will sound mutch better.
You are so positive guys!)))))) And really cool video! May we ask for your permission to share it for our customers and tag you? Thank you in advance!)
Absolutely!! Please do! Thanks for watching!
@@ExtremeDailyDrivers Thank you so much!!!)))
The best places to deaden road noise would be the wheel wells and floor.
I got that same stuff in mine and love it. The hatch definitely has solid feel when it shuts. 2 quick things, you covered an access hole for the hatch handle when doing the hatch(you'll see when you do the camera) and I took off the taillights access panel oeices and was able to put sound deadening on the rear quarter panels that way. Love the video, can't wait to see how the camera turns out. I like mine, alot. Helps out so much since the windows are tinted heavly on mine.
Thanks for the tips! I am dreading the camera install. Lol. I hope it's not as big as a nightmare as I'm imagining it to be.
@@ExtremeDailyDrivers its not too bad. Worst part was fishing the wires through the hatch and down the inside of that rear quarter. I used a spot where the wiper motor bolted up for the ground. Than ran the video cable and a hot wire together through the hatch, tapped the hotwire to the reverse signal wire at the tail light, than the video cable uo to the front following the amp/sub wires.
Have you done a temp gauge i want to add one on mine because I don't like not knowing if it's running hot or not.
No, but if it's running hot, a red indicator will light up. I wouldn't worry about it unless you are aware of cooling issues.
No issues.
Then don't worry about it.
does it smell? reading amazon reviews and worried summer temperatures will create unpleasant scents fume on the interior
Nope. You can't smell it at all.
$50 is a great deal. Can't wait for the rear camera, literally waiting till see you do it so I can Install mine 😅
I'm not going to lie, I'm not looking forward to it!! Lol See you next week!
Did you use anything to cleam and theb panel prep or alcohol
Did you see us use any in the video🤔?
May be a dumb question, but does doing this take away from the price value of a vehicle? Not a huge concern, just don't want to ruin the value of anything I choose to sound-proof.
This adds to the value of your vehicle.
