Dynamat

[bjc]

With your boot lid try cutting squares of the dynamat and putting then on the outer skin first then cover over the complete boot as you have half done. If there are gaps like you have on the boot near the lock the bass just enters this space and negates any work you have already done.

Try cutting 10mm mdf to fit these spaces then use a quality brand 100mph tape to hold them in the gaps then dynamat over this to hold also. I did this with a mates mazda 6 boot, not with dynamat but a quality sound deadener and it makes a hude difference, he had a 15in Jonah Lomu Fusion in a big ported box facing backwards!

The only things you cant stop then are the fact that the dust seal rubbers dont seal from the SPL and you get a fart noise happening unless you can strap the boot down!

My option would be to build the box in under the parcel shelf and face the sub forward then fold the seat down. Not as loud generally but still enough pressure for most to go deaf...

Or face the sub forward but again generally not as loud for the bass head.

Have fun

where do I apply it??

I looked into the bootlid and there isnt anything inbetween the outer and inner skin of the lid, its all open there isnt something for example like in the doors,the bar that runs across the centre and holds the outer skin.

I havent got any photos of any I ave done. will try and do mine in the next week or so so I can post pics

Also, get some good under carpet sound deadener and place it under the rear seat and up the wheel archs. this will also reduce alot of road noise....

Hi guys and girls!

Just a quick one, I have started adding Dynamat to my parcel shelf and boot floor/walls etc..

I have progressed pretty far (almost done) with it today which is good, but this evening I went for a drive and found that my lights were doing silly things!

When my headlights are set to 'Auto', they don't always work.

When my headlights are set to 'On' they come on, but my dash/interior lights stay off; fog lights will not go on/off either.

While my headlights are still set to 'On' if I turn the indicators left/right, the dash lights come on and the fog lights come on but all goes off again when I stop indicating.

My rear (red) park lights are not on, but my brake lights still work if I brake.

My first thought was I had done something wrong in the boot, shorted something out since I was playing around back there.. but I cant see how Dynamat would do this.. I double check the earth under the factory sub amp, that's all clear and clean, all the cables seem clean and nothing bare to short out onto the Dynamat.

I am hoping it is the combination switch or clock spring or something that has gone and the timing was all a coincidence.

I am a little reluctant to take it to Ford for warranty work until I am fairly certain I didn't stuff this up myself lol.. that'd be bloody embarrassing to have them say "There's ya problem!" while the point to my boot lol!

Any ideas people?

Bought a big swag of Dynamat Extreme on my last US trip for about 1/4 of the price they charge here, 35 sheets for US$240 at Pep Boys which is like a US Supacheap.

Over the last 2 days I have covered the parcel tray top and bottom, inside bonnet, inside boot walls and wheel well, inside roof, inside doors, and under the rear seat. The difference is nothing short of incredible. All the tinny sound is gone, the doors, bonnet and bootlid shut with a thud now and there is not a rattle to be heard. Road and wind noise is drastically reduced and the stereo upgrade I paid $1500 for a year or so ago was a pretty good improvement now its sensational

Even at the Aus cost of this stuff it is well worth it if you have the inclination and a day or 2 to spare. Shame FPV don't do it standard it makes the car whisper quiet and gives it a solid and quality built feel

Taking orders?....

[SuckSqueezeBangBlow]

did you do the spare wheel well too? I think a lot of road noise and diff whine comes through there.

Did this this to my ute long time ago. Ripped the whole interior out and dynamated everything and added extra insulation to the foot wells. Made a huge difference in reducing road noise.

Completely and also the inside of the rear 1/4 panels, make all the rumble go away
