Btwl Clutched October 22, 2007 Share October 22, 2007 dun do roof lah.... tat will only b a problem when it rains. the logic in SP is not to kill off all the noise. u can nebr achieve it, they will only become load parasite. furthermore, there r natural elements which r large source of noise u cannot prevent. eg ur aircon blower. the danger is that noise will revverates within the enclosed space and further amplify itself. if ur intention is to prevent road noise... floor pan + doors. engine noise... fire wall + door + bonnet. leave out the boot as a form of trap door for the noise to escape out. so instead of total enclosure, wat u end up if like a trough or tunnel. Dear Apollo If road noise is my major concern, should I SP the wheel arc and fender? It seems fashionable for shops to offer arc/fender. Is there any use at all? Thanks ahead. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nets Neutral Newbie December 6, 2007 Share December 6, 2007 Hi Mate, Not too sure about the price - but its best to dropby for them to assess and let you know the options directly. Dun really think that its possible to have an accurate quote base on pieces :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunno Neutral Newbie December 6, 2007 Share December 6, 2007 Market rate is around $40 or $50 per layer per door, depending on the material used. Dynamite Extreme will cost more than that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadgeter 2nd Gear December 6, 2007 Share December 6, 2007 Hi there, not sure whether have you resolved the road noise issue. If you have not, you can try to get those 3M rubbernised spray and DIY on the wheel arch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zambik 2nd Gear December 7, 2007 Share December 7, 2007 Soundproofing job is always done professionally and neatly at this shop. I've been patronising since it opened. Items taken out of the car is put back neatly and nothing is broken or missing. My car is super complicated to take apart yet he was able to do so. Price is very reasonable. As for which material is suitable, why don't you just make a trip down and access what suits your needs? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btwl Clutched December 7, 2007 Share December 7, 2007 I tried the rubberised spray before and they did not improve the sound proofing. I had the entire car sound proofed with Dynamat extreme recently. It cost a bomb but it is a little quieter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reuters Clutched December 10, 2007 Share December 10, 2007 (edited) Btwl: where did you do your Dynamat extreme? Which part did you do and how much did it cost you? What is the recommended layers that are to be installed in the doors? Edited December 10, 2007 by Reuters Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btwl Clutched December 15, 2007 Share December 15, 2007 My car was done by Chuan Sing Auto. The entire car was sound proofed - from doors to bonnet, roof, firewall, arc fender etc... I asked for maximum sound proofing and each door had 3 layers. Even the floor was double layered. Cost quite a bit - but it did reduce the road noise especially on the highway. Not much appreciable difference on the normal road because my car was already fairly quiet. Did sound proofing because cannot listen to music on CTE even after changing tyres to Yokohama DB.

Prosumer Clutched December 22, 2007 Share December 22, 2007 I was told that sound proofing the front doors will make noticable difference to enhance the sound system within. Is it easy to DIY myself? Do you guys still have those meet-ups for DIY session? I've recently added front component speakers/tweeter/crossover to my stock HU; saw the installer at work, seems quite easy to take out the door cover. So I'm thinking it's just a matter of stuffing the internal with these SP materials? Or izit much more than that? Improving my sound system one-step at a time, in a budget way...

AndrewLee72 6th Gear January 10, 2018 Share January 10, 2018 Anyone did sound proof double layer on front doors. After that yr car turning signal.. The tick tick tick sound become very soft..? Front door on component speakers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash2017 Twincharged January 11, 2018 Share January 11, 2018 I wondered if any of these suggested aggressive sound proofing would increase the weight of the car resulting in lower fuel efficiency. ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
