SP third layer

[Vicky]

Yo.

Any bro here know where is a good (and Cheap) place to do third layer on the front door.

Currently got 2 layer liao.

 

Should I DIY or what?

 

Cheers..

HI Vic,

 

 

I guess you already have one layer on the inside of the door panel and a 2nd layer on the metal that is covered by the door panel arm rest like the one shown here in this URL LINK

 

Why you need 3rd layer and where you want to SP? Was there still vibration or rattling on the doorside?

 

My 2 layer door is already heavy. Dunno how if got 3 layer.

He will need the extra layer to the plastic side of the door panel...the mid-bass is not tight...

Hi Vic,

In that case, your ICE installer can use Dynamat Extreme to patch another layer around the mid-bass speaker area to make the mid-bass sound tighter. I think he can do that for a small fee only..

[Sarong1]

That won't be enough. He needs a layer of bitumen as the first layer, followed by thin layer of carpet and finally foam (similar to fish tank filter foam)...This will effectively dampen the plastic door panel and reduce the volume of his big door panel...DIY is possible, needs about an hour for each door. Cost should be less than $150...for both sides.

so hardcore ah? think headshok got some bitumen sheet left. if you buying the foam i want some too. gum xia.

all this u meant applied to the innermost plastic door armrest panel?

 

i'm thinking of doing something similar too. but i worry about rainwater - won't it hit the carpet and foam?

 

what's the purpose of the carpet when u have bitumen and foam? different frequency absorption?

[Sarong1]

I am not about to go into the technicalities of why carpet is used...I find it relevant and useful so thought I should share this with anyone that is serious of soundproofing the door...

[Hyun]

hehe u know how i like technicalities... tempting me to find out more heh.

 

sounds like u're bringing over concepts of home insulation to the car. but i dont know anything abt home audio ... looks like time to search internet again ...

 

but then, what kind of carpet material? if u ask those car installers to install carpet, they'll probably put in some 3M mats in your door and charge you double for it.

Soon Hyun & Firespitter will get their MSc in speaker crossover design liao.

S$150..

Hmm..

 

Price is for Diy or shop doing it?

 

 

Hyun..

You wanna do also ah?

Why not we get material and try DIY?

[Hyun]

wah now my car too heavy liao, i tiak any more plaster on the door, it gonna drop off....

 

actually i was showed another kind of foam recently, not the fishy foam (that one suck water) but a waterproof type. that one i'm truly interested. i'm just goddam lazy to tiak open my door panel to DIY. but if i let slice shops do it, they gonna spoil 2 more of my door panel clips again. my door panel got about 4 clips... 2 kenna spoiled the last time, if they spoil the last 2, that's it man i can play free-air midbass liao....

 

but i donno which 3M carpet sarong recommend leh ... maybe we interrogate him at next meetup.

 

. . . ok i found this foam thing, i think it's this one:
