Sound proof DIY Options

[Stanchiam]

Hi,

I am going to buy material from china and DIY



doing something similar to my car but using better quality material

http://club.autohome.com.cn/bbs/thread-c-155-4330163-1.html

I have done a rough estimate of the material i needed
All in cm
Roof = 130x100 = 13,000
Floor = 220 x135 = 30,000
door=((60x90)+(60x70)) x2 = 19,000 (double layer so times 2 for mat)
engine=100x50=5,000
Wheel and spare =20,000


Total about
MAT: 87+19=106k cm sq or about 114 sq feet
foam:87,0000 cm sq or about 93 sq feet
sealer estimate is 25m for big D and 4m for P strip at the bottom(optional)

foam is about
50cm x 80 cm x 10mm(thick) = 4000cm sq = 4.3 sq ft per piece
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=2355028522

mat is about
40cm × 24cm× 2.2mm±0.1mm(thick) = 960cm sq = 1.03 sq ft per piece

There I will need to order
Mat = 114/1.03 = 110
form = 93/4.3 = 22

exchange rate about 1 sgd to 4.8 rmb using credit card.
110 mat (7rmbx110=770/4.8 = $161) ,
22 foam (18rmbx22=396/4.8= $83),
Total = $244
mat roller 25rmb ($5.2),
door sealer = big D (25x6=150/4.8=$32) + (P shape for door bottom (6x4=24/4.8=$5) optional)
Total about sgd $280 exclude shipping.
That is for whole car. If exclude roof and wheels, will be cheaper.

rubberized spray for additional sound damping on wheels area and protect against water and rusting
2 can x 18rmb = 36 / 4.8 = $7.50 (2 cans 620ml enough?)

Bro, the wheel arch spray....the best is 1 can per arch. total 4 cans. spray 1st layer....after 30mins...spray 2nd layer for better effect. If you know how to remove the fender and the banana leave in the wheel arch...you can consider buy another 2-3 cans to spray inside.

bo bian one...urs china...mine malaysia...two things in common....dealer sucks + noisy car. hehehe

but hor...those sprayed type...normally will be washed away after 6 mths or more. If always wash at petrol kiosk...it will be faster cos they spray our arch with the jet. That's why 2 layers are much better.

If can...we do our ride together. Mine just add on for my 4 door panels. The doors already done with 2 layers liao. just wanna add in to the panels. Cos planning to upgrade my ICE...so have to do abit here and there.

I will email or PM you later. BTW...you have to do the order fast liao...cos CNY coming as I have mentioned in the other thread.

may i ask so you took the front and back seat and remove all the carpet to expose the bare metal then you stick the new sound deadener?

you cut the size according to floor shape or it was by default the shape?

very interesting and nice work.

pic of the boot area.

*pasting of foam is the easiest part, the SD need to do slowly, sometime need to cut out small pieces to fill up some area.
tips: after taking off the screws, please do screw it back after pasting the SD, do not wait until u paste the foam cause u might forget.
foam is easy to work with, since i put back the screw after the SD, when i paste the foam, i will take note of it and cut a small hole on the foam before pasting over.
this way, it will be easier to screw back because foam is thick, if u wait until pasted the foam then screw, it will be harder.

i will be doing the front and engine in the near future...lol

I will try to use the whole piece, on corners or small left over area, will need to cut out the size/shape
after this DIY, back and wheel area no more sound, have to rest first before completing the rest.
