DIY: Sound Deadening The Hatch

KamikaZ · 09-26-2012, 12:34 PM

Hi All - This is my first post here, but I used to be active on My350Z.com. I'm hoping to bring this thread back from the dead, as I'm about halfway into trying to quiet down my '03 Z.

Flashburn, do you still have the pictures from your original post? If so, I would be interested in seeing how your install progressed.

So far, I covered approximately 75% of the hatch with B-Quiet Ultimate. I also fit 2 sheets of Second Skin Luxury Liner Pro (LLP) in the hatch, which covers 90% of the surface area. I also worked in some B-Quiet and LLP in the cubby behind the drivers seat.

The car is still very loud, but haven't had a chance to secure all of the material properly or reinstall my interior. Unfortunately, I also managed to bang up the wiring of my 4-channel amp during the install, so I can't comment on improvement to audio quality yet.

Next steps: Work on the door panels and the floor (if I have enough material) and reinstall the interior. I'm considering ordering the Second Skin Spectrum to spray in the wheel wells and hatch, but I'm hoping that I wont need to do that.

Old thread brother, I have some pics in my photo albums, FlashBurn sold his car and sporting a Corvette now. My car used to be his, check out the Build thread and I have some sound deadening stuff there. Nut_N_Much Journal

I did the floors, doors, rear trunk, support area, and removed the aluminum heat shields from underneath the car and sprayed Eastwood Sound deadening all under the car. Much quieter now. I still need to do the roof.
