just spotted this and have you done both doors and what kinda differnce has it made to outside sound and speakers sound curious to know if it kills off alot of road noise through the doors as im still not used to my mk2 i keep thinking a window or door is open :S

[Dizzie]

road noise is dramatically reduced! I was so surprised how much difference it actually made! stereo is better, but I'm not running a huge ammount of bass though my door speakers. but the road noise is seriously reduced!

and yeah, I did both doors. the other got done a couple of days later.

How much did it cost to dynamat both doors Dizzie??

[Dizzie]

I went OTT on them and used about 3 sheets a door I think.
From www.dynamat.uk.com you can get 9 sheets for £150 and have enough to do the rear quarters too. I didn't do my rear quarters as they're slightly rusty so when they're replaced I'll do them

Blimey 3 sheets! I've just done the boot with 3 sheets, and also came across some wool wadding we use to soundproof helicopter cockpits. It gives the door closure a merc style sound. I think I'll use a bit more dynamat on the doors, oh and by the way I paid £150 from www.caraudiodirect.com - just in case dynamat themselves haven't got any.

[Dizzie]

P&P is free from www.dynamat.uk.com though
CAD is £10 aint' it?

[Lewy]

I think it's only £6, but free is better!!

[Dizzie]

yup. all dynamat off the site is free P&P

Hey boys! I hate to tell you this but that is a total waste of time, effort and money!!

Now this is serious i aint joking and a little lesson in metal strength too!

The inside skin of a door is quite strong and does not resonate! Why because of the rolled edges to the holes!
They act as strengthening bars!
The stuff should be applied to the inside of the outer door skin!

Yes that will suppress road noise - but it wont help your sound system!

Seems to me that all people want to do around here is sell loads of Dynamat.
How much is the commission?

[Lewy]

It's quite possible Len you've never had a loud enough system, because regardless of how many swage lines you have on the exterior of the door it will vibrate (resonate). Plus if you remove the door panel of a MK2 and close the door, it resonates like buggery, hence the reason for fitting sound deadoning to stop vibrations.

I work with helicopters and they have a sh1te load of sound deadoning to stop panel vibration and cut down on turbine noise, so I personally would say it does work, and is worth carrying out on cars whose owners are serious music listeners.

Dynamat isn't the only product out there, it's just been recomended to me by more people than I care to name, and if you can afford it 9 times out of 10 you buy 'the best'. IMO

By the way, just in case some commision is available my paypal address is.......................................
