I'm not sure about you guys, but my Celica has a load of roadnoise, especially in my doors. One part is that my Rockford speakers have too much bass, and the other is the vibrations that come from the door when I'm driving. Now, I know that Dynamat actually dampens noise and vibration, so I was thinking about buying the two door kit. Has anyone used this for this reason, and gotten good results?

Second Skin is better than RAAMaudio IMO. It's essentially the same as Dynamat Extreme, only cheaper. You might get Dynamat Extreme for cheaper than Second Skin if you know someone that works at Best Buy.
The reasons I like Dynamat Extreme and Second Skin are: higher quality mass loading (no tar/asphalt), higher quality foam (better noise reduction), added high frequency noise dampening from aluminum backing, and lack of a smell (comes from tar/asphalt in other products). I also highly recommend using their liquid dampeners on the inside of wheel wells between the plastic guard and chassis. Tires cause a lot of noise and having an extra layer of dampening helps a lot. Covering your entire floor, doors, trunk, and roof takes approximately 150 square foot, adding roughly 75lbs to your car. Sure she's a bit heavier, but she's not nearly as annoying! Another option is to hard mount your speakers in your door to reduce the vibrations and improve sound quality. This is a bit expensive unless you're able to make your own brackets and do the work yourself. |
