    Average summer temps here are in the 118F range.... Can easily hit 130+ inside the car. Wouldn't think of putting asphalt in the vehicle, it will melt and ooze and it will reek petrochemical fumes into the vehicle. I stopped the nasty bass bounce from my new speakers in my wide open empty truck doors with EVA craft foam sheets (comes in many thicknesses) and used Permatex high temp gasket maker to adhere it to the metal. Worked great!

    I used a similar product under the carpet on my '68 Mustang. I primarily did it to keep the exhaust heat from coming through but an added bonus is the floor is now waterproof, Mustang floors rust easily. I taped up all of the seams with foil duct tape and after 8 years and countless summer driving trips I have never smelled the asphalt. The car is now a pleasure to drive on a hot summer day. The key is taping up every seam with the foil tape.

    Thank you for this! A couple days ago I got a great price on a used Subaru Legacy, but when I shut the doors, it rattled and screamed out "This is the cheapest Subaru Legacy available anywhere in the country." I ran to Home Depot last night and picked this stuff up (it now goes under the brand name Pro Force), and today the door makes a nice thump that says "This is a luxury car with real quality construction." I didn't put any on the plastic door panel, just the metal on the inside of the door. Loving it now, thanks again.

    you know, this video is where i got the idea for the cheap alternative for my own car. And a rattle can anyway, a 1996 Camry. But that insulation was very useful. aid had it stolen and they found it stripped in a tow yard afterwards. No interior at ALL (easiest way to the sound components). So i had a blank slate. I started with two layers of that on the floor , inside the doors on the outer skin, the firewall in bother sides doubled up. heated with propane propane torch and a wood roller to really get it on.
    Then a gallon on flex seal toweled on and left to bake in the texas august sun for 3 days with the doors open. Put heavy plastic down at one point plus the doors for a vapor barrier, after it had begun to solidify, and then glued the carpet back down.
    Lastly, the wheel wells made the biggest difference in dB. I rolled that flex seal on, then that aliminum air duct tape with the strands in it was over top.
    went from 110 db on highway @ 70mph…. to 63db.
    that was 3 years ago and i took all the panel and carpet off the clean em and upgrade the sound again, it’s all still perfectly good.
    thanks a lot bro

      The aluminum duct tape layer is an excellent idea. If you have a connection with someone in the commercial aviation field you may get your hands on the thicker, stickier mill spec rolls.

    I had a 2001 Dodge pickup. It was just a single cab, basic truck. I did this same, basic thing to the doors. It did help a little with road noise, but it made a huge difference in stereo aound. I just had a cheap pioneer deck with 2 6×9 speakers. One in bottom corner of each door. The doors became well insulated speaker boxes and the speakers put out a LOT more base with better sound. Enough that some people assumed i had a subwoofer. Thoroughly covering the inside of doors with sound deadener will also make a huge difference in door speaker sound if your doors don't have any sound deadener.

    Applied this technique to a 2008 Subaru Tribeca with no weld issues, just zero noise dampening. I used Grace Membrane which is what I had on hand (and is as sticky as the adhesive used on the plastic insulation). You have to cover all your bases by at least covering 90 percent of empty spots while making sure you get into each corner as much as possible. I also took small strips and turned them into adhesive bumpers to put in between the cross braces and the actual door sheet metal, and I did this in at least four places on each cross member, making sure that two of the spots were the ends and that none of the membrane interferes with the window. The only drawback to this fixing the problem is that it fixed it TOO good meaning now I have to do the other doors.🤣😎 Excellent idea, sir!

    I have been using Frost King Duct insulation for AC duct, it's come in a roll 12 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick. It is made for heat and cool reduction and work great for sound deadening. The coast is about the same it's less than $20.00 dollars a roll. So far no problems it has a sticky back and rolls and presses out to form around the whatever shape the doors are. You can find it at Home Depot and Lows in the Insulation isle. I just clean the inside of the door good and cut it roll it up to get inside the door and press fit it, use and little tape to seal it up and good to go.

    Aluminum and the butenyl is used to absorb vibration, not to be a sound deadener. 25% panel coverage is when you start seeing diminishing returns. Though you might see a marginal gain reduction in sound absorbtion doing full coverage over tiles.
    Vinyl, lead sheeting, serbothane, melamine foam are used for sound deadening.

    I bought a roll of this stuff and used it in the rear corners of the standard cab in my 1990 Cummins Turbo Diesel, when I replaced the rear speakers. You've got to have sound dampening in that! Works great. Even put an small, extra sheet over the fiberglass housing covering my air conditioning system, facing the downpipe of a custom 4" exhaust system, for extra insulation. Works great!!

  • @dustinalexander156

    So i went back through becouse your vidio is the one I based my decision on using this stuff. I have a single cab dodge ram 2001. Open the pannels and a thin layer of plastic covers the doors. That's it. Very very basic on these trucks. So mine wasn't quite as pretty as yours, I used my hands to flatten and rub the sticky side in. I have full confidence that this stuff is going nowere quick. Once it sticks its practically over... lol I lined nearly the entire inside of my door in rows... right off the bat road test... just by old artillery ears, 50% reduction in noise level. This stuff is really amazing so for anyone who thinks that it won't work, stick your foot in your mouth. Take the leap and try it.... you will be surprised. It actually made my stock 2001 speakers so robust, I had to turn my sub level down by 3 levels on my stereo. Lol you have to do it yourself to believe the difference. It's only 16 bucks guys.... and thank you, for your vidio

    Never use an asphalt based product on a vertical surface as the heat will cause it to "melt". Asphalt is ok for a roof but not in a moving vehicle. If the shit falls off the panel, it could get bound up in your window mechanism and cause a lot of damage.

  • @matari7407

    You can spend over $100 on the "BRAND" stuff which is ridiculous. I bought this same product for my 2 dr single cab Dodge ram. I cleaned the surface and used 3M spray on glue with it and it's been on for 2 years straight with no problems. I covered the doors and the back. I have 4 speakers, a sub box and 2 amps and not only it sounds better now but it reduced road noise a great deal. No one is going to see the brand on the insulation if that's what anyone is worried about lmao. Good video, keep posting.

  • @tk421tt
    @tk421tt 9 років тому +20

    the problem with cheaper sound dampening materials is longevity and the release of toxic chemicals. the material he used is similar to expensive products desingned to add weight to the metal, thereby lowering the resonant frequency. this reduces noises generated by the metal, reduces the ringing sound of a speaker playing onto metal surfaces, and to some extent it blocks a bit of road noise. however, to really block road noise, a noise barrier type material is needed. the most effective material to do this is thick butyl rubber composite mats. these are the even more expensive treatments that companies such as scosche, second skin, dynamat, etc sell. there's a guy on youtube, caraudiofabrication that has a pretty good instructional video on the different types of sound treatments and more importantly, how they should be advised. cheers. and thanks zed4me for the video. keep treating those doors man!

    I've always said that if someones spending more in sound deadening, than a quality set of components, they're doing it wrong. Foam behind the speaker on the door, and in front to couple to the door, are most important. Fastrings can do it for you quick. Just pricey for what you get.
    Peel n seal has never failed on me. But I also use roofing tar tubes to help adhere it too.

    • @yucannthahvitt
      @yucannthahvitt 8 років тому +7

      When it comes to sound deadening material that doesn't cover the entire surface of a panel, you want more weight. The mass and density of the material is what dampens the vibrations when you put little rectangles of the stuff in various places. That's why the best automotive sound deadening material is heavy stuff, and it isn't necessary to completely cover panels in it to reduce noise, it isn't so much absorbing sound waves like wall insulation in a quiet room or studio, it's dampening the vibration of the car's thin sheet metal panels.

Ive use Peel and seal and other similar brands it is asphalt based and will not perform like real deadener. Even used it on my own car, I eventually removed and applied some quality stuff.

    High quality sound deadening material is made with a thick, butyl rubber adhesive with an aluminum backing. The stuff from Home Depot or any hardware stores is composed of an asphalt adhesive with a (thinner) aluminum backing. It isn't as effective, makes your car wreak of asphalt, shrouds the interior environment in toxins, and falls off in hotter weather.

    If you live in a hot state like California, Nevada or Arizona using roofing product is definitely a bad idea! It will melt and fall off on really hot days and make a huge mess to clean up! Only use butyl rubber sound deadening products. If it comes in a roll, it is most likely an asphalt product and should be avoided. Most butyl sound deadening comes in sheets. If you shop around you can find butyl mat at a better price. It won’t be $14 a roll cheap but it will be a superior product for a cheaper price than Dynamat.

Night and day difference after installing it. My door speakers actually had nice tight bass too them afterwards. Opening and closing the door sounded way better as well. About to put this stuff in the door of a 2002 chevy blazer I just bought for my kid. Its a little cash truck practically given to me.

      I dislike it.
      1. When he closed the door he probably scratched his side skirt (with the airbag module hanging from the door).
      2. He did not clean the inside of the door (there is wax in there) prior to putting on the the mats. They could fall off at some point.
      3. He did not disconnect battery (hence the airbag fault code). Why didnt he disconnect negative lead for safety?
      4. He used a product that contains Bitumen. Noone does that anymore. Bitumen is soft when warm and stiff when cold. It kind of drys over time and become brittle at some point (really hard to remove).
      5. Bitumen will make the car smell like crap (especially in the summer). I will never go away.
      6. He did not replace the vapor barrier - so he just did half the job. Thats like sound comaing - not sound deadening.
      He wanted to save some bucks and he ended up shooting himself in the foot by using a product not fit for the job and by bad execution.
      Why should anyone advertise how NOT to do it? Ignorance...
      Also - the dude is trying to sound-deaden a convertible. Does it make sense to you? If it was a 7 series... OK. But a Z roadster? Serious? Whats the next step? Putting Bitumen on the soft top?

    • @billemcee
      @billemcee 7 років тому +4

      I have to disagree with you on some points, He did say that he was going to clean it @ 2:52 then he skipped to actually installing after he cleaned it off screen. @ 4:51, he did replace the vapor barrier.
      Like you, I would be concerned about the smell and yes, he wasn't careful about closing the door with the airbag and other things hanging out so he could have scratched his side skirt. He should have disconnected the negative terminal of the battery prior to doing anything with the airbag. He never said he was a professional, we all make mistakes, learn from them and move on. However, it did sound like it did quiet his door down for a fraction of the cost. I am not sure of how long it will last. When I researched many brands of sound deadening materials, many of them contain some sort of asphalt mix, how would that not smell the same as what he used?

    this guy has the right idea unfortunately the product will cause more damage long term for various reasons. long story short if you live in an area with all four seasons or it gets super hot its got asphalt in it among other things that will melt and deteriorate quickly after a year or 2 at most depending on the weather even more so if you don't have a good garage. ya it sucks deadening is expensive if you want to do an entire door solid for each door in your care especially if you want the best quality (soundskin) but you can patchwork several doors if you know the sweet spots to lay strips. anyways amazon has dynamat for a good sized rolls starting at 15 bucks. get a couple 20 buck rolls and that's enough to take care of all the doors well enough. make sure you put some behind your speakers though (i mean on the door not on the speaker they make magnetic sound plates if you want to go that route) so it will absorb your speakers back-wave thus greatly improving the overall sound response in laymen's terms.

      i would say dynamat for the price is better, honestly it wont hurt going either way so whatever is the best deal at the time but i know what im getting with dynamt every time and its the cheapest without sacrificing quality. now if i have the budget to work with i would go with soundskin all the way because they take it to the next level. fucking expensive though no way around it even if ya just wanted to patch a set of speakers at least 60 bucks. totally worth the price if you have premium gear and an audiophile ear.

    OK, before you take off the door panel, if you have airbags, disconnect the battery and wait 10 minutes, then disconnect the airbag module, put the module aside
    If you are going to do sound deadening in the door, please be sure to mark where the airbag module once was, it will help you optimise the deadening without risking your life, last thing you want is a door card going into your or your passengers face when your car rolls, T boned or a front end collision that swung you around.
    When using this to sound deaden other parts of the car, remember... please don't use this on your roof liner or your trunk lid, especially not in your engine hood - this is aspalt, it will give off a smell when left in a hot car and with this laid on a metal surface such as the roof, it will get really hot, become unstuck and possibly ruin your headliner.

    Very very hollow sounding stock, good job. I think that is just butyl and aluminum tape. If you unplug your negative lead from your battery first and turn on your headlights you can remove any airbag you want without throwing a code. Spend a buck or two and get a wooden roller and even better if you have a heat gun or can do it in direct sun light. Nice video btw.

    I bit cheaper but better is spray on or heavily rolled on truck bed liner, works great too. the added mass, which is all sound deadening does, gets rid of the clank sound and is 100% water, heat and weather resistant
    I not only use it in the bed of my trucks but under the bed, cab, passenger compartment wheel wells firewall doors, roof and floor of every new vehicle or restoration project I buy since I am already pulling the entire interior to upgrade the carpet, seats add aftermarket audio to the doors etc.
    any auto parts store sells a do it yourself "bed liner" that can be used
    Since I do blow through subwoofer boxes on most of my trucks being able to color match the custom paint is a great plus
    If you feel you must add closed cell foam just spray glue it on top the bedliner
    Closest to my mythid is Second Skin Audio, which is a good stick on or spray on product

    Speaking from experience here, don't waste your time and money with this roofing crap. It will not save you money or your time in the long run. Go to Amazon or Ebay and search for 'Noico' or 'Kilmat'...you can get 36 square feet for about $60. 36 sq ft is plenty to do 4 doors and a trunk and have some left over.... The dollar per square foot is about the same as the crappy roof junk but the results with the Kilmat or Noico are so very much better.
