By applying sound dampening to your trunk, you will significantly reduce rattles and resonance. It will also help with road noise, depending on the brand you choose. Overall, it never hurts to use a little of this stuff, only good can come from it. We always recommend this stuff!
Sound dampening prevents rattling in your vehicle which interrupts your music. It also quiets the interior of your vehicle, making it sound better inside.
Its objective is to stop vibration and thus reduce rattles. It does block out some road noise as well if you use it all over. Take an empty soda can, place it on a table, and tap it with a spoon lightly. Now, hold the can with your fingers lightly and tap it again with the spoon. Notice how it no longer has that "tinny" sound? Now cover the can with your entire hand and tap on it, it now sounds even more different. Same applies for vehicles. Foam is meant to be used on top of sound dampening.
A lot of people will cover the entire trunk top to bottom. However, depending on your needs, that could be overkill. If you get vibration in that area, then cover it. If not, then no need to cover it unless you want to reduce road noise.
It should be relatively warm when installing any sound dampening material to make sure maximum adhesion. If it's hot, it tends to become more tacky and sticks better.
Just a Tip from an experienced installer ..Wear gloves when installing sound dampening matts because the aluminum layer is very thin and very sharp and can slice your hand open nasty I know first bloody hand lol
Actually, there is a huge difference between dampening material and gap filler or weather stripping. Gap filler is great for filling hard to reach areas of trunks and in awkward panels, but dampening material is much more effective for effectively reducing the resonant frequency of a metal panel.
That depends on how much output your subwoofer enclosure has and the material of the door skin. The more output your subwoofer produces, the thicker deadening you need. Some installs use many layers.
I litterally just ordered the 40sf kit with roller form your company about 10 minutes ago! Can't wait to get it here so I can put it in my '74 Plymouth Trailduster!!!
You could apply some sound deadening to the back of it, but that will only stop the rattling a small amount. Make sure it is screwed all the way in. In most situations, the bass simply is too powerful and unless you have it permanently held in place, it will always come loose at some point.
Ok, sorry, didn't look the end of the vid. Seems to really make it better. I just bought 5 sheets of it + one big sound deadening felt material. Now im looking the different vids to learn how it's used and different tips. Thank you for the vid.
Some people will never be able to use a rear view mirror again due to intense bass. You can try to rig it into place and hold it there with glue, tape, or mounting brackets. Your call on what you wish to do. :P
Using a heat gun makes it MUCH stickier and easier to roll on quickly. As mentioned by others, you want a layer of foam on top of the sound deadening to absorb sound and then high density vinyl to block sound.
The only thing you can do is wait for a deal, save up your money, or buy it in small sections over time. It is not just foil and glue, it is a special butyl rubber with adhesive that has to withstand extreme temperatures and stay attached to your vehicle. Additionally, it must also not smell when it gets hot or become liquid and change position. If you go to a hardware store and find cheap sound deadening material, it will not give you the same results.
Go for a ride in a neon then in a beamer or benz. It not only reduces unwanted noise but changes the whole driving experience. I have triple layers top to bottom in my whip its amazing
Right on bro! Good to see you transitioned well from Soundman. I def think Sonic Electronics needs to do more vids like this. Install based vids if they wanna b competitive in the 12 volt social networking scene.
Personally, I would se the process of vacuum bagging to debulk this material onto the trunk so that it would be completely conformed to the image of the trunk.
We recommend going with their Mega Bulk Pack. It comes with 80 square feet of sound dampening material, which should be more than enough to cover a majority of your interior panels. sonicelectronix[DOT]com/item_42037_NVX-SDMP80.html
What's the big difference between that damping And some Grace ice and water shield for roof's. there both a 1/4 in rubber mat with a sticky backing. Only thing i see is the silver face..
Next time you place an order over the phone, make sure to ask if we are carrying them. We just might be getting some. ;) It's not 100% for sure yet though.
Is that really useful for getting rid of the rattling sound from the trunk? Or the permanent solution is to move the subwoofer to the cabin instead? Thanks
@SonicElectronix How would you apply this material in a 06 civic trunk, I just received it, and I'm wondering since is has holes all over bc of the wire harnesses if I just cut around it or how? Pls help. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks In Advance
hey how can I keep my roof from flexing really bad because I am going to be putting in 4 skar audio 12 inch evl 2500 watt max and rms 1250 watt and a skar 4500.1 any idea on keeping the roof from my gmc envoy slt from flexing
Really knows what he's doing, giving advice and shows the differance, but I wonder about inside the door panels, do u cut the plastic in the door or what? any tutorial? :s
Jack Le Jack, one comment said putting smaller pieces does just as well as a big piece as long as you get them close together (I suppose this works best inside door panels or curved surfaces). I want to decrease all the road noise in my sister’s Honda suv. I don’t care about what the radio sounds like. I just want a quiet ride. If I try to do it myself what material and brands do you think are best? I had no idea this was such a big deal with people who seem to want to perfect the music sound in their cars. And apparently at auto sound shops people do this. Thank you.
My old 300rms sub and even my stock speakers both vibrated it badly. I'm thinking this might have to do with some loose screws. I'll check it out tomorrow
As a physicist I'd say anything above 50% is a waste of ANY damping (vibration) material. 25% is just OK. 50% is just ENOUGH. Remember that dampening makes vibrations go away - the materials don't make your car quieter AT ALL. This is just the first layer of three that should be put in there. Then absorption and the blocker. Let's just differentiate between dampening, absorption and insulation. Dynamate does the dampening job (low frequencies). Tire noise, airoborn sounds...you have to use other materials. Don't browse thru ebay offers or youtube videos. Read on the topic, then decide.
@@riv3r1991 Yes, it is diminishing returns. Read on sounddeadenershowdown.com. You should never cover 100% of the area with CLD. It's a total waste of product and money.
Chris Johnson would you recommend deadening wheel wells and if so what product(s) would you use? If they are to be used should they be applied to the vehicle or the wheel well liner piece itself? Thanks in advance.
I need a tip. For starters let me say that I installed dynamat in my two doors (only have two) and in the trunk lid and side of trunk where it was vibrating. My car sounds so much better and you can't really even hear any rattling. However, my rear view mirror instantly angles toward the floor when my bass hits and it vibrates and i can hear the noise from it. Is there anything I could use to stop it from moving
When my car is idling then i hear the noise / vibration noise of exhaust (seems like noise from tailpipe). I looked under my rear seats and floor carpet, basically it had no dampening material there at all. Also i have so called "ski hatch", my rear seats can be moved down and there is a hole between trunk and interior. Maybe this should be also closed? Will it help? I don't need subwoofer and i will never install it. Car itself is pretty quiet on idle but when driving it's noisy.
I have a Golf mk4 Gti 3dr and i want to replace the rear speakers how to i go about his. I do not want to put 6x9 in the parcel shelf as it looks crap, thanks if anyone can help me
but it just looks like a sticker with aluminum! Wouldn't it be better to use like foam? glue the foam onto the truck or shove it into the crevasses? foam absorbs more sound right? What is the point of doing that? I'm confused. since it's so thin, why and how does it work so well?
installing audio in a evo? im a basshead but i know lightweight prob radio-less is the way to go on that car lol id listen to that engine music and exhaust drone thats the bass :)
Hey Sonic Electronix ... What are your thoughts of layering the sound deadening if one is still being bother by the vibrations??? If anyone has experience or input to this.. Lemme know!! Thanks! :)
+Bouge laal It works as long as it sticks. For best results, you'll want the densest/heaviest material you can get that's still thin enough for your needs, as layering light material will end up very think for the same result.
wtf how come when I installed my shit today there is still rattle? It appears it is coming from near where the trunk latch onto the hook, not the hook itself but around it...I spent hours doing the shit and hearing how it sounded throughout my add on's and it still rattles down there. The license plate rattle is gone. The trunk still vibrates but does rattle. Its just the area underneath the license plate it seems. Its pissing me off how I spend 100$ on the shit and it didn't work as I thought it would. I wanted the stit gone. I'm not going to keep layering it on there if it wont work so wtf else can I do?
Kelvin McGill the rattle is gone, I honestly forgot what I did but the annoying shit I was talking about is gone. Of course the trunk rattles a little but it's not annoying at all considering how powerful of a set up I have
As a professional installer, I'd say he did a mediocre job. That cut is ugly, and since he did no relief cuts for the curves, much of the metal isn't even covered when it could be. This is a fail of an instructional video. I hoped to learn from it, but instead I feel like I could teach him a thing or two.
He was demonstrating the basics of installing this product. It is easy to give negative feedback. Maybe one day you can post a video of your own. meanwhile; this video has over 92K views. :)
EpicEverythingDude75 Wow, such hostility! I wasn't trying to be mean, I was saying if they want this to demonstrate how to install the product, they should at least install it correctly. A demo video is even more important to get right, so others can watch it and learn how to install it themselves. And having a lot of views means what exactly? That 100k people just learned how to install damping material in a sloppy way? I think that only proves my point further.
tomakze Well IMO you are correct but to a point. It all depends on the person and their understanding of ones wording. Myself if i read or someone says this is the basics or demoing something I automatically know that if you want it to be better or want to know how to do it exactly perfect then i would search that or figure out the best way to do it..... I know this is Allen just showing the basics so it doesnt bother me, he even says "this is the basics". Now if he said "this is exactly how you do this so you get the most out of your product" and what not then i would have a prob. with it. But im sure the customer didnt pay for it to be perfect. Hell i dont know many people want anything perfect and done right and willing to pay the extra for it. Not to mention, Allen is alotted so much time to do a job anyways so to do it AND record will take up more time. Considering hes worked with some really good audio guys im sure its not like he doesnt know how to do it...... BUT yes I to would enjoy it more if everyone was as a perfectionist as I am. To me its just done well(which works for 99% of people), not great/perfect and most of them will know the difference anyways!
tomakze In all honesty, if you think you can do it better, please post a video. I'm trying to put this stuff on as best as I can so for the sake of fellow youtubers, please make a tutorial.
Sam Horner Hum, I suppose I could down the road. The best advise I can give you for now (As I have very little free time right now) is to cut the dynamat into smaller squares and other simple shapes instead of trying complex shapes and curves. Keeping the material good looking and professional is key. 25-30% coverage will give you peak efficiency for sound damping, so you don't need to coat the entire surface. Spreading it out evenly, (smaller pieces here and there) I usually shoot for 40% coverage, and have had terrific results. Obviously more is better, but with diminishing returns, it doesn't make much sense. Also, make sure you clean the surface really well, or it will not adhere properly. I also like to cut relief cuts into sections with complex surfaces, so that all of the material is touching metal. Any damping material that is suspended (Not directly contacting the metal) is wasted. Also keep any area that will need to be serviced down the road accessible. I generally try to cut holes around screws and clips so the dynamat won't get in the way if the vehicle needs to be repaired. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
@weezecuzz Absolutely the part that did not get NVX Dampening could be dampened and I will be getting it done soon. Maybe sonic could post a video if you are interested to see the difference that it will make. From inside the car doing the trunk top of the trunk lid alone reduced road noise dramatically. (the Mitsubishi Evo has a noisy barely insulated trunk) Dont forget NVX is NVX ... Dynamat is Dynamat.. also NVX > Dynamat ;)
thiyagarajan pavancharan when you install a sound system in your car it makes the trunk and metal rattle so when you install this it lessens or eliminates the trunk rattle
The Jiffy Seal is nowhere near as thick or heavy as the dampening material intended for car audio. By time you build up enough layers of the Jiffy Seal you'll end up spending more then it would of cost to just get the good stuff.
actually theirs a cheaper way on doing this i first bought fat mat for $50 for 10 yards which is pretty good compared to othe prices but then my audio shop showed me a cheaper way all you need is at your local home depot first you need a bottle or two of Big Gap Filler Insulating Foam Sealant that you use to spray it into holes or gaps in your trunk then you buy a roll of Jiffy Seal Waterproofing membrane that works the same as sound damping you can get a roll for $25 that's enough for a trunk
Thats not sound damping. Its vibrationdamping. Even not that. You just shift the frequency from a higher hertz to a lower hertz. Thats wjat makes it more confortable. From tictictic its toctoctoc. Sound dampening ist done by dense materials like foams or really thick layers of underfloor protection. Put tar into the wheelhouses and a carpet and everything will be good. The doors you can male heavier with this mat or tar to get better sound from the speakers.
What do you recommend for sound insulatation? Or whatever it's called? I just got brand new Mazda 3 Sport 2018 and like to do some work this spring. And hopefully work on other people car for extra income. Personal business too.
That hand test at the end sold me.
For real
I immediately bought $2,000 worth

It should be relatively warm when installing any sound dampening material to make sure maximum adhesion. If it's hot, it tends to become more tacky and sticks better.
The practice of peeling as you stick is totally the best way to apply the material.
Just a Tip from an experienced installer ..Wear gloves when installing sound dampening matts because the aluminum layer is very thin and very sharp and can slice your hand open nasty I know first bloody hand lol
Dont you heat up the aluminum side and then roll it down?
No gloves = 6 cuts on your hands minimum. Ask me how I know lol
experience is the best teacher 🤙😂

Does dampening the trunk really helps a bit?

instructions for installing dampening:
1. clean freely with alcohol
2. stick it were you want it
3. cut the edges, don't cut your finger
Hey i have a Hatch back and theres alot of stuff in the way. how would i apply the sound dampening sheets?

It might have to do with the fact that I have a small toyota echo but I only have an RE Audio SEX12
Second Skin or This new product?
There is no way for us to tell, it is always advised to buy an amount, and then buy more if you need it.
could you just pick up some blue skin and use that looks like the same material to me
charlie hooker offcourse you can you can do whatever you want craig
@weezecuzz Absolutely the part that did not get NVX Dampening could be dampened and I will be getting it done soon. Maybe sonic could post a video if you are interested to see the difference that it will make. From inside the car doing the trunk top of the trunk lid alone reduced road noise dramatically. (the Mitsubishi Evo has a noisy barely insulated trunk)
Dont forget NVX is NVX ... Dynamat is Dynamat.. also NVX > Dynamat ;)
Allyn from the sound man!!!!!!
i had the same element cap 9 years ago
Could I put dynamat in the inside of my subwoofer box?
David Hayes i doubt it will stick bro
Jeffrey Curry I did a little research and found some 3M tape and no ordinary 3M tape it’s actually pretty nice for what I’m trying to do
how much are them?
Where is he from?
why it is done ?what is the purpose?
thiyagarajan pavancharan when you install a sound system in your car it makes the trunk and metal rattle so when you install this it lessens or eliminates the trunk rattle
+Juan Vergara it won't arrest the sound coming from speakers?
man, I need some of this so badly! too bad I'm broke as a joke....
i wish it was i would deff buy one fer sure!!
muchas gracias, hermano.
The Jiffy Seal is nowhere near as thick or heavy as the dampening material intended for car audio. By time you build up enough layers of the Jiffy Seal you'll end up spending more then it would of cost to just get the good stuff.
actually theirs a cheaper way on doing this i first bought fat mat for $50 for 10 yards which is pretty good compared to othe prices but then my audio shop showed me a cheaper way all you need is at your local home depot first you need a bottle or two of Big Gap Filler Insulating Foam Sealant that you use to spray it into holes or gaps in your trunk then you buy a roll of Jiffy Seal Waterproofing membrane that works the same as sound damping you can get a roll for $25 that's enough for a trunk
Thats not sound damping. Its vibrationdamping. Even not that. You just shift the frequency from a higher hertz to a lower hertz. Thats wjat makes it more confortable. From tictictic its toctoctoc. Sound dampening ist done by dense materials like foams or really thick layers of underfloor protection.
Put tar into the wheelhouses and a carpet and everything will be good.
The doors you can male heavier with this mat or tar to get better sound from the speakers.
What do you recommend for sound insulatation? Or whatever it's called? I just got brand new Mazda 3 Sport 2018 and like to do some work this spring. And hopefully work on other people car for extra income. Personal business too.
Thank you
