So according to you it only takes 1/2 hour to put in the sound deadening material? You need to buy yourself a watch that works my friend.

I may have taken a lot of time to do it properly and nicely, but even scottIN took 4 hours and he self proclaimed that he did a sloppy job. This is at least a 4 - 10 hour job depending on how picky you are and how many patience you have.

I don't think he meant an hour literally. Obviously it takes more than an hour but the point is it's not a large investment for what can be (depending on your opinion) a large improvement.

It is def more than an hour if you do it right (thats what she said).

I had fun though, had a couple Terrapin Hopsecutioner beers on hand, my handy work gloves, some jams on the garage radio. Good times

Ever since I got a house, I fell back in love with getting to know my car's guts and privates. She so fine!

I just don't want anyone to be mislead if they are thinking about doing this. It's a royal pain to do, and it takes a while. It's not a wham bam thank you mam job. I think people here considering this should know reality. I know I would.

I got into a discussion years ago with a guy back on the Pontiac Solstice forum about how long it took to put the top up or down. After pages and pages of thread, the guy swore it only took an average Joe 10 seconds to do with no rushing around. He was delusional. I always thought maybe he was an engineer at GM trying to back his baby while wearing a welding mask. Totally blinded.

To me it was not a difficult job, it was an exhausting and time consuming job.

Difficult was wiring some AudioQuest UL listed in wall cables through the door piping and connectors without losing my skin.

True. I would also add arse, leg, and back stiffening the day of, and arse, leg, and back hurting the next day.

I'm not misleading anybody. If you only do a small (12 sq. ft) portion of the trunk, it IS a wham bam thank you ma'am job.

Even a very small amount of dynamat/bquiet/etc makes a pretty big difference in these cars.
