Soundproofing

i where thinking of just dynamatting the speaker pods (where the speakers sit into) well i got abit more bass out the speakers by adjusting the hertz and what not, what about putting foam behind the speakers?

I put Dynamat on my doorcards, and too be honest, it didn't really make an improvement.

well i got the idea from my mission speakers think about it, its jut a woofer and tweeter, (i know its a woofer) the missions have foam/wool in them and they sound bassy so i thought hmmm why not dynamat the insides of the speaker pods (in the door cards) and add some foam/wool stuffing should get better bass but you never know. shady have you dynamatted the speaker pods in the door cards?

[Shady Pioneer]

I didn't do the pods but I did the whole door-card, including around the speaker slot. It stopped some vibration I was getting but that's about it.

In fairness my components up front are purely for HPF, bass is handled by the sub in the boot, however I've never set up my set up to allow the components to be used in any other way...(I don't want to either.)

well seeing as i'm a pikey sod...

i sound deadened mine and the wifes yaris quite a bit  i used a couple of packs of dynamat, but was gonna work out massivley expensive, so i tried roof flashing on a roll, and its cheap as chips, tenner for 10m x 300mm i think? from wickes, bq etc. Banged in 2 or 3 rolls in each of the doors, and a 30 quid roll of cheap sound deadening. and it improved the bass quite a bit, nothing like a sub but improved what i had no end (dls coaxs in the dash, alpine coaxes in the doors)

then i went a bit crazy with it...

tg1- thanks for that mate, what is it made out of?

[tg1]

umm, tar and a silver backing. its waterproof also

think its about 90 something percent the same as edead - and smells less bad.

Although you might want the doors and windows open for a good few hours

i used something like this, different brand though
