How to get rid of road noise in your vehicle.

[Outrun]

if you could do this for a living I bet you could make some good money....pending you can convince someone that they need to do this. I might consider it if my cars weren't either quiet already or garbage.

Finish your damn neon. That project is was cooler than a quiet truck.

The exhaust was paid for last week, I am still waiting on it to arrive.

People are cheap as f. It'd be a hard sell at $15/hr when I wouldn't want to do it for $30/hr.

ACR.....if you have before/after RTA figures I'd be interested. I'd guess you'll be in the low 60's.

I was on my way to work, and a somali in a cube van plowed into the front of my truck, i didn't hear a god damn thing. Turns out the cube van was his daily driver, he's unemployed and his insurance card was fake.

Here is todays progress. I used about 9 sq feet of xtreme on each front door panel and about 11 sq feet of 1/2 dynaliner onthe panels. I built up any voids, some spots 2+ inches thick of dynaliner to create a pretty solid panel. I would say each panel is now 2.5 times the original weight and bass response from the stock fronts have improved greatly. All 4 door panels are done, I still however have to finish dynamatting the front doors them selves.













I also finished dynaliner on the roof and pillars. 1/2" on the roof and 1/8" on the pillars. I hope to get the headliner installed this weekend.

is dynaliner even that heavy? It looks like foam from here; i'd think to double the weight of a door you'd need a truckbed full...

Are you at least putting in the new stereo? Or are you gonna tear it all down again to do that?

He said panel, not door.

How does it sound?

[Nichols92]

How does it sound?

I am sure it doesnt

[GoldenPlump]

If you take ACR's truck into a forest, and a tree falls.....Does it make a sound?

No.

2nd layer of xtreme on the floor and back wall



12sq feet of 1/4" Dynaliner on the floor and 12sq ft of 1/8" on the back wall.



Now I just need to figure out how I am going to block the sound coming through the rear vents, yet allow pressure to escape the cab, I think the stock setup can be approved upon.

LAWLS ACR IS MAD FGT


Work on the damn neon damnit.

[chrisnuts]

You should do that to the neon I bought from you that car is loud as fuck on the highway

[ACRucrazy]

I spent 6 hrs working on the truck trying to finish up some of the bigger dynamat projects.

Started on the drivers door itself, same treatment as the passenger. Used 18 sq feet on the door. Both front doors I am waiting to Dynamat the out side until I figure out what I am going to do for new door speakers.

(BTW for the jls pr brk rcsn fgts out there specifically RyanM 18 sq feet retails for $150)







I also took a few quick clips of exactly what the Dynamat does for a door. Right now all I have in my truck are the stock front speakers and the stock deck. While its not high quality by anymeans I think anyone who hasnt heard what this stuff can do would be suprised at how "low" two stock non premium speakers can play off a stock head unit.

I also decided to get the hood done with. I never did a hood on any of my vehicles, wasnt sure if it was really worth it, but figured if I am going to go all out with the inside, there isnt a better vehicle to try it on than this one. I used about 8 sq feet of Xtreme and 1 full hoodliner kit which is 3/4" thick with thermal backing. I was suprised how well the hoodliner sticks. Be sure where you want it when you stick it!
