Depends what you do and where you do it! Also the standard spec of your car!

usual things to do first are the outer door skins or other panels that can resonate. Stick Dynamat on those.
As for floor and roof some good dense underfelt is usually sufficient.

Just depends what youa re trying to achieve?

cheers len,

my back box is louder than i thought it would be, and i use the dual carridgeway every day which is annoying because at 70mph all you can hear is the exhaust blearing out.

also the pannels vibrat alot because of the sub ... even when it is on minus so i want to do anything to stop the pannels vibrating ?

thanks

Then some dynamat on the panels that vibrate is what you need to do!

There is a cheaper way - roofing felt and mastic adhesive! But its a very messy job!
Best stick with the Dynamat if you can afford it!

^^^ i used several layers of that on my floor, its good stuff for the money. i did my doors, rear quarters, floor, boot floor and a few other places and replaced all the felt under the carpet. made a load of difference and the dorrs make a nice solid thump when you shut them!

Would be best to start off with one and just take it from there, I only used one layer and that was good enough for me  :smiley:

I did most of my car, entire floorpan, doors, quarter panels with stuff called Bodyline (knock off dynamat) and to be honest I wouldn't bother again. It only cost me £60 but it didn't really make any massive noticeable difference. Either spend a lot or don't bother is the key, otherwise your just wasting your money.

Read my project thread for pics and comments :D
