Since my car is 9 years old, you can hear the road noise a bit with all windows rolled up. I was thinking of having Dynamat installed in the whole cabin and trunk to reduce road noise and improve the sound coming from the speakers. I was just wondering how much the install would cost since all the paneling and seats and whatnot would have to be removed.

To have it professionally done, you're looking at some SERIOUS CASH! I did my Honda Accord a few years back (entire interior) and it took me a weekend and about $500 in dynamat. Go for it, bro.

What was the difference in the Accord? How heavy was all that dynamat? Why did you own an Accord - and now an Aurora...? Was it quieter than your Aurora now is, stock? Describe... I've always been interested in people who've done their entire car in dynamat, I almost did it in my old New Beetle.

Never thought of having it done actually as I really don't have the road noise problem. Dynamatting would surely make it super quiet! |

I've always been interested in people who've done their entire car in dynamat, I almost did it in my old New Beetle. Between the dynamat and the rubber "undercoating" that I used, it was good couple hundred pounds or so. I did it as part of the sound-system build. At one time, my Accord was a nice show car - until it got stolen... twice. I've owned quite a few sport imports over the years (most of them hooked up), but I just got tired of the whole "scene". All the rich boys with no taste, hip-hop stars, violent car clubs, haters, and theives have really killed the fun in it. C'mon, lambo doors on a civic - give me a break! So, I decided to move on and bought my brand new Mazda6 and decided to just keep it nice and stock. However, since I wanted to keep the miles low on the Mazda and since my Suburban only gets 5 MPG, I decided to get another car to be my daily driver. That's when I found my Aurora on eBay and picked it up to be my workhorse. It's funny though - I like the Aurora so much, I never even drive the Mazda anymore (it's an '03 bought in '02 and only has 9K on it)!. To answer your last question, the Dynamat and rubber coating had a HUGE impact on road noise, vibrations, squeaks, and rattles from the 15s, but isn't suited for blocking out noise from a modified exhaust. So, I'd say that the interior of my Aurora is probably quiter stock than my Accord was dynamatted. -Shawn EDIT: HEY!!!!!! The profanity filter must now be configured to not allow the term "r1cer" (with an "i") because it automatically replaced it in my post with the word "import". Huh! |

I've always been interested in people who've done their entire car in dynamat, I almost did it in my old New Beetle. there are different types of dynamat for different parts of the body. some are really light weight while some are heavy for areas like the firewall and roof. man my car isnt loud by no means but i can just imagine it sounding like its not even moving. that blows my mind. |

I have an 85 IRCOZ. When I got it the doors sounded very hollow and the road noise was very noticible. Doing the entire car would solve all of your problems but it also adds weight and takes some major $$$. What I did was get a Dynamat door kit (ebay always some great deals on it) and just sut the sheets up into small sections and put them in as many places as I could in the doors and quarter panels. Now the doors sound like i am shutting a vault door and the road noise is reduced. So you could try that option out as well.
