Audio system prep...sound deadening project.

[ConspicuousConsumption]

Thank you. That’s very helpful. I’ve been driving myself crazy planning my sound treatment plan, particularly about MLV. I’m gonna stick with CLD and CCF for my first attack.
thanks again. Also, I have no idea how you got the panels back on with thinsulate covering so much but damn that’s cool

It compresses much better than CCF…it and similar products are becoming the go-to product for decoupling.

i’m sold. Did you use the 200, 400, or 600? I’m ready to order thanks to you

 

[UNBROKEN]

I did the 400. The whole car is lined with it.

wow, so you are doing it ?? Nice ,
good luck . everything comes out pretty easy . just try not to cover the holes that the door panels push into to put them back on.It takes time but search around in the site and u wiull find all the info u need. It makes a diff thats for sure. I was looking at all of Unbroken pics and remembering all I did ! and what I didn t ! LOL... I com;pletely forgot the hatch . See Conspicous its easy to forget .. But use a heat gun in spots and it will flow on nice!!! Keep me posted how it goes!

Yup, I already have a box of Noico from a project a couple years ago that was put on ice, so I'll use that plus the Thinsulate 400. I bought 20' of it.

I have small children and a busy job, so I don't know when I think I'll have time for this, but add it to the list!

Hatch done. Probably 90% CLD, plus Thinsulate. Let me just tell you that unbrokens CLD work is incredible. He made it look easy.

That Stinger stuff is like several other CLD/CCF combos. They work great for what they are.
My whole car is lined with Thinsulate now…it’s everywhere it can possibly be. Examples here: View attachment 19584

@UNBROKEN when you put that Thinsulate on there, how do you cut the holes for where the panel clips snap in? That was pretty tedious when I was doing the rear hatch, so I'm wondering about your process. I do like working with that stuff though!

I use one of those small snap blade retractable knives…they have a really nice, long pointed end that slips right through. Whatever you do…don’t ever try to drill through it. I learned that the hard way.

Was looking for more bass in my 23 so I threw a cx 1200.1 and 12" l7sencloure in. Now I'm looking to run deadening. Unbroken, thanks for the insights on your process. A bit much for what I'm after but def taking the advice and moving from ccf to thinsulate for the doors and rear hatch/floor.

That’s what I thought as of a month ago, but once you start pulling panels you’ll see that there’s no sense in half assing it. I’m not gonna shoot for his level, but might as well do it well.
