Geevs Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I'm in the process of replacing all 4 weathered door panels with a set of mint ones. Was wondering if it is still worth the cost and effort of sound deadening the doors while at it. I recall everyone was doing this around 4 years ago with Peel-N-Seal and/or sound dampening paint. Would like to know from those who've done it if things sound-proofing have held up over time especially on an aging car. I'm not running a loud audio system, just want to keep noise (from driving) to a mininum. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronD81 Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Yes, I used the peel n seal from Lowes and it does make a difference. I used 5 rolls on the doors and rear hatch. It only took a few hours and the rolls are much cheaper than dynamat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it seems to peel off as easy as it goes on. I'd use dynomat, system sounds sooo much cleaner tighter It'll reduce road noise minimally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geevs Posted January 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 It'll reduce road noise minimally Thanks Sconeman. That's what I thought also and wanted some validation. In your pics, how did you decide where to install Dynamat? I've seen doors totally covered in PnS/Dynamat, while others seem to cover only the holes in the door frame. BTW, this website's got some interesting info expounding a "less is more" approach. http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, this website's got some interesting info expounding a "less is more" approach. http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com/ I was going for improved speaker sound quality. I didn't want to spend the money on covering the entire door. (I used 2 trunk kits in my car as it was) so...I put the dynamat on the areas that had the largest flimsiest pieces of metal or unsuported edges etc. My goal was to reduce vibration and resonance on the panels so I spread it out and applied it to any area that could cause the undesired effect.

Owned Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Peel n Seal is not sound deadening. Have respect for yourself and your car and do not shop for damping products in the roofing isle. A mat or spray will help with a lot of noise. Specifially, where you are more concerned with a quiet ride, also use foam dampening as it will work against the higher pitch noises (wind noise) that mats and sprays do not do as well with. I used a combination throughout my car and the difference is very noticable. Try to have at least 75% coverage on anything that you're actually trying to dampen. More is better, to a point.
