question on sound deadening

Boosted Josh · 06-16-2010, 04:29 PM

I finished up the sound deadening in the hatch area of my car a couple days ago.

I used 20 sf of the eDead 80 and maybe 10 sf of the eDead Teklite.

I did not attempt to cover every square inch of the hatch instead I used tried to concentrate on the wheel wells and also just used my knuckles to knock and see where the most resonance was coming from.

I used the Teklite mostly on the wheel wells and on the inside of the panels to stop any squeaks and rattles. I bought 20 sf but 10 sf would have been plenty.

I have a few sf of eDead 80 and some damplifier pro from an old install left for the doors when I finally do get my system installed.

Overall I can say that it made a distinct improvement in the sound level in the car. The greatest improvement however is the bass from the factory bose sub. It is probably the easiest and cheapest way to get more bass from the factory bose system.

And I only added ~15-20 lbs to the car.
