    Used killmat in my 2000 trans am and it was a major difference. Also that deadner was easy and great to work with. If you wear gloves you literally dont need a roller. You can knuckle roll it all. I did from firewall all the way to the full trunk area. Used 2 boxes and 3 sheets. Thats doors and hatch etc.

I have completely coated two cars in Noico and there is no smell! Heck, I installed it in an 03 Jetta to GET RID of the crayon smell. Dynamat was the first to Market that's why it's so expensive. They just never price adjusted when competition entered the market. Noico all the way! maybe throw some adhesive backed, closed cell foam over it if you really want to get maximum results (I did this in a 2010 TDI Jetta. Doors, trunk and even the back of the fender inserts. I was extremely satisfied with the results).

    I used Noico "without gloves" and no injuries were incurred. Also I experienced ZERO smell of any kind. I was surprised how much coverage I got in my truck with only 18 sq ft. But getting another 36 sq ft soon, to finish the truck, and start on my car. LOVE this stuff :) Oh, and Noico also makes Noico RED 315 mil 20 sqft Сar Sound Insulation, Heat and Cool Liner, Self-Adhesive, which adds "some" additional sound deadening, but mostly, its used for heat insulation. For the roof of my truck, I used a layer of Noico regular sound deadener first, then a layer of this stuff, for heat insulation, for our Sacramento Summers :)

    I spent almost $600 using Dynamat in the past on my Thunderbird to cover most of the interior including doors, rear panels in the back seat, entire trunk including spare tire well and lid, and the mating surface between my amp rack with cooling fans and the ported box. Its just too damn expensive.. all the other parts including firewall and most of the floor was generic sound deadener from an auto-body supplier, and I also used a heat gun along with a roller when using the cheaper stuff which made a huge difference. The end result was massive, especially after adding a nice EQ and external crossover.. too expensive however..
    I am going to do the same treatment to a Mark VIII LSC I have - same exact ported box with custom amp rack and cooling fans and it should have the same nice tight fit in the trunk since its more or less the same frame car. This time I think I am going to stick with a 50sq foot roll of Kilmat, and will add another 25sq feet for the other bits I would like to cover. I dont know if I will go with 50ml or 80ml, but even 50ml will make a hell of a difference over stock I suppose.

    I did a double layer of FatMat in my 95 Altima SE. 300sqft of it. I covered every square inch of the interior including inside the doors, door panels and interior bits and pieces. Aside from the Asphalt smell that lingered for about a month it worked flawlessly. I did that install 15 years ago and it's still holding up 100%. I'm not sure of the cost now but 15 years ago it was $300 for 300sqft.

    • @chrispurdue5762
      @chrispurdue5762 2 роки тому

      Dynamat is a better product period. Dynamat Xtreme reduced the amplitude of the resonance on my test panel by 9.5db decibels, while the 80mil version of Killmat only reduced the amplitude of the resonance of that same test panel by about 7.5db.
      And that's a handicapped test, as the dynamat I used on this test panel came in the roll (their 4 square foot package) which reduces effectiveness, while Killmat came in flat sheets. Last time I tested Dynamat, from a pack that came in flat sheets, it reduced resonance of that test panel by 11db.
      And, Killmat's heat resistance is garbage.

    Really good video overview I've used the killmat, dynamat & noico in different semi truck builds I really like the killmat for the price & performance even though dynamat is slightly thinner than noico & killmat I guess but the end result as far as noise reduction in my book and our drivers without knowing always seem to think dynamat trucks are quiter and have less rattles. Noico works well, but I'd definitely pick Killmat over Noico and Dynamat over all if funds allow.

    unfortunately i don't have a sound comparison. i bought a box of dynamat and kilmat. the dynamat is much heavier than the kilmat, 23 vs 17 pounds. the dynamat sheets are 3 X larger but are folded which makes it harder to smooth out. the kilmat sheets are smaller but came in mint condition without creases. they say kilmat is thicker but i didn't see a difference just looking at them. i installed the dynamat quite easily (without a heat gun) even as a newbie. i used $6 metal snips from harbor frieght. i used a norco roller and thick plastic flattener (from mod podge). and if you are removing the vapor barrier butyl tape, 90% isopropyl alcohol or goo off managed to clean that black sticky stuff quite easily. bicycle tire tools worked better that trim tools to pop the clips to remove the door panels. it took 3 sheets of dynamat to cover the back doors and rear hatch (small car). it took 2.5 sheets to do the front doors. with just the doors covered (not the floor/roof), i noticed my music volume is maybe 3 steps lower (than before) on the freeway. was it worth spending $200? yes because i commute on the freeway everyday. i choose dynamat because it was heavier and maybe it takes more energy to vibrate. i really don't know whether weight or thickness is more important in reducing noise. hope that helps.

    Damping material is just the first part of a 3 part 'system' for soundproofing a car. There is nothing "optimal" about 50% coverage. This is just a point where a group of people agree to settle for "good enough". It is in many cases a point of diminishing return. 100% coverage is better than 50% coverage... but that last 50% of coverage doesn't result in the same amount of effectiveness as the first 50% of coverage.
    Damping material in applied to the metal to lower the resonate frequency.
    Then you need a decoupler. This is the second part of this 'system'. Closed cell foam is sold in the car audio industry as a decoupler. There is nothing magical about it. It is just a simple product that has a huge mark-up because it is targeted to a niche market. You can find any closed cell foam and use it as a decoupler. The best option I have used for MANY years is Reflectix. It is a double layer of 'bubble wrap' in an alumanized layer. It's an amazing decoupler that provides great thermal properties.
    For the final part of a proper "Sound Deadning" project is MLV (Mass Loaded Vinyl) with a minimum weight of 1lb/ft². On this layer the MLV MUST BE 100%. Tape all seams. This layer of MLV is what actually "blocks" the sound.

      Do you have any test reports to back up your claims? Everyone in the audio industry claims one thing and the reports show otherwise. ESPECIALLY the car audio industry. I am sure you do not even know of the test reports done in California I believe in the 90's that showcased what wall structure was the best at stoppind sound.
      Yes you may be basing it on "theory". However, what you are suggesting is probably so negligible that is not even worth doing.

    Thank you for the review and opinion. I have a question: do similar vibration materials of comparable thickness have a noticeable difference compared to, for example, Amazon Prime vibration protection? Are there alternatives to Amazon that are cheaper than their branded product? I would pay more attention to eco-friendliness than other factors. The material may emit harmful substances when heated. Thank you

    Noico doesn’t have a smell and you don’t have to use gloves. I’ve installed it in multiple vehicles now. The biggest gains I’ve seen are from pulling headliners and doing the roof. Your floor already has carpet with sound deadened most times so you don’t have nearly as much from adding a shit load of sound deadening to it as you’d thing. Rear seat panels, package trays, truck cab real walls etc give you the most noticeable gains in my opinion. Slap your hand against things and see if it sounds like a dull thud or like you’ve just smacked a piece of gutter piping. Easy way to find things that need sound deadening.

    I wanna go with the Killmat but I just LOVE the BLACK no label Appearance of the Noiko Mat... It looks VERY STEALTHY and Surely gives a CLEAN Factory Look... Of course nobody's Going to see it, but DEFINITELY for the Underside of some trunk lids ho with the Noiko Black because not all undersides of Factory Trunk lids have a carpeted or plastic trim...
    I was actually thinking about Rhino Lining the insides of my door skins, rear quarter panels and trunk lid, trunk, roof, etc 1st (Hercules was the best quality that was tested by Project Farm believe it or not), and then going with the 50 mill, as the perfect combination...
    Waiting for Killmat to make a Black NO label Clean look edition like the Niko Mat and ill be sold... Until then Ill have to use the Niko on the undersides of my trunk lid...
    Speaking of bed liner roll on type stuff... There is also the Rubberized Undercoatings... The Professional Industrial Rubberized Undercoating that KBS makes, and Professional Industrial Rubberized Undercoating that Rust-Oleum makes are BOTH VERY NICE!...
    Would you recommend that to apply in tight crevices that you can't get these Mat products into?
    I know I paint my inner fender wells with the KBS Rust Seal, then there Asphalt Roll on and spray on for Tight nooks and cranny crevices, then I finish off with a coat of either the KBS Rubberized Undercoating or go with The Rust-Oleum Rubberized Undercoating, as they both are fantastic! Never hear any rocks hitting inside the fender wells anymore as it dampenings them TO NON EXISTENCE IN NOISE! COMPLETELY CANCELS IT OUT!!! Alongside this combination on the Inner frame Rails and rocker panels where rocks like to kick up as well!
    Also would love for you to do a segment including SoundShield and Hushmat

    most cars shown in this video have the sound deadener (panel resonance reducer) over applied. 100% coverage is not necessary w/a deadener product; 50% is optimal. Deadener products do not block sound as that is up to other products. Yes, deadener may block a tiny bit but its main function is to remove resonance from metal/plastic panels; hence why Dynamat's in-store demo of their product is a service ring bell. The bell w/o dynamat pings whereas the one w/Dyanmant thunks. This is most definitely a so-so 'guide' and not a how-to...

    • @zacharymcgraw3132
      @zacharymcgraw3132 4 роки тому

      Coverage depends on the product. I think Resonix you can do as little as 25%, its 100 mils thick and is really top tier stuff. Regardless, adding more isn't just wasted, but you get diminishing returns so it becomes less cost efficient to proceed to 100%

    • @K03sport
      @K03sport 4 роки тому +2

      @@zacharymcgraw3132 ...true statements...yes, more means diminishing returns and first layer was the most effective. deadeners, in general, get lumped in with other sound isolators/proofing, and they were never meant to cover 100% of an area. there are many different types and thicknesses out there and ppl have to do their research. Some have CCF attached, some some MLV, some have foil backing, but few have all of the layers. Different types are used in different areas, but people don't want to mess with 3-4 different materials and spend the extra money for the right product, so they buy cheap and use twice as much. But videoes like this make people think 100% coverage is necessary, and it isn't.

I think my box is about 8X7X 14 so there is 318 sq feet of walls and roof.... if I covered it at 25% that would be about 75 sq ft. About $2 a sq ft makes $150.... probably worth it if there wasnt another way.... I have an almost unlimited free source of aluminum or mylar foil plastic bubble huge bags that are ,if opened into sheets , about 3 'by 6' and I think maybe sprayed or brushed contact cement would do same result for just a few bucks.... I am not thinking a fire is going to happen or if it did it would outgas any worse... If I am missing something please let me know. I would be doing heat insulation on top of it anyway..... and am more worried about moisture collection and rust but the box metal is aluminum so not likely to rust.... right??

      If you are doing an interior panel use a USA brand butyl. Kilmat, siless, fatmat all cheap deadening will have asphalt, even if it says it’s just butyl. After the butyl layer, use a closed cell foam liner for additional sound absorption and insulation. Spend extra on a good real butyl layer and then you can go with a cheaper closed cell foam to save $. And buy a roller. You’re going to be rolling for hours, so I suggest to spend extra on a quality roller as well. I’m saying all this from years of experience installing.
