Here are a few pics of the Dynamat install. Dynamat is rather time consuming to install. I used Dynamat Extreme which is considerably easier to install than regular Dynamat. I've heard of other competing options to Dynamat, but historically speaking the cheaper route has always ended up costing me more money, so I tend to go with tried and true these days. I used almost 2 boxes (10 sheets each box). The doors were by far the most difficult part since it has so many connectors and screw fittings that you need to cut out. I also covered the inside wall of both doors. I didn't cover the cutouts in the doors because I somehow managed to lose my remaining Dynamat, but I do plan to go back and do that. I removed the factory sound deadening that was present in the driver and passenger floor. I DO NOT recommend this. I spent several days trying to get that crap out. If I had it to do over, I'd just lay Dynamat on top of it. Dynamat won't get rid of engine noise and make your car sound like a Cadillac, so if that is your intention, don't go through the trouble. It will have a good impact on your system's sound quality, and is good for getting rid of a fair amount of creeks and road noise, but it is not the end all be all. It is certainly one of the things I recommend as an addition to a quality sound system install. My install was very time consuming since I removed the factory sound deadening. Without removing the factory stuff, I'd say the installation could be completed in a minimum of 3 days if you are good at laying the stuff. Removing and reinstalling all of the interior is quite time consuming by itself. You can plan on spending at least 4 hours on each door (I took about 6-7 hours on each). The rest of it isn't nearly as difficult as the doors, but still time consuming. The total length of time it takes will really depend on how anal you are. I'm pretty anal, so my install took me about a little over a week. After the first day, you will hate Dynamat, and if you're like me, you'll get pretty bored installing it. I'm the poster-child for ADD. |
