I deadened the doors and the floors a few months back and have been waiting to finish the job. I finally ordered some more raammat and got to work. I did the hatch area and the rear panels (behind the rear speakers). The car now has about 180 sq ft of sound deadener. It now sounds like a luxury car when driving!! Anyways, on to the pics.

I also added Ensolite to the rear panels, I just forgot to take pics. For anybody looking for a good sound deadener I highly recommend Raammat. The stuff is awesome. I put it in my doors a few months back and it is still holding up nicely (even in the AZ summer!)

 

how much did you spend for 180 sq feet? I want to do this just to help with road noise! everyone says it sounds like im in a wind tunnel when im on the phone and driving.

 

I have spent probably about $400. That includes the Raammat, the Ensolite, the adhesive for the Ensolite and shipping. If you talk to Rick he can probably give you a Scionlife discount, he posts on here.

 

cool... thanks man. looks good!

 

Thanks man. It was a lot of work but WELL worth it!

 

yea, that will be my next project, once i get my wheels...

 

Good luck. When you do decide to do it, make sure you pay close attention to the rear panels. That is where the majority of the road noise seems to come from. If you look behind the panels there is nothing there... just the sheet metal.

 

thanks for the advice!

 

very nice, it looks like a lot of tedious work.
How well does it work? Did you notice a big difference when driving?

 

The difference was night and day! My wife was amazed at the difference. Even shutting the doors and the hatch is different now. It sounds a lot more solid.

 

Have a link to the site you bought your stuff at? That ensolate (gray stuff) work pretty good? Is it just an extra deadener? What did you use to put on the Raamat (roller, etc.)? Thanks, I'm looking to do this to my tC just trying to get more info. Looks nice.

EXCELLENT JOB!!! What are you putting in - system wise?

 

watching o__o!!!

 

by rear panels do you mean the area right next to the rear back seat, or the side panels in the trunk area?

 

Both. Double up on the rear panels if you have enough material...the results will be well worth it!

 

Does it really make a difference on the hatch? (Pics #7 & #8.) This will be my next project after I save some $crill because I just bought a Full TBL.
Thanks for the info!

 

damn looks good just wondering if this got rid of that god awful hatch rattle we are burdened with lol i know this works b/c a friend of mine has close to 400 sq feet of dynamat all throughout his car he's got a banging system intake and exhaust on a wrx and you can't hear poop good luck buddy

 

i have 5 layers of dynamat extreme on my hatch, it cant stay open on its own anymore ...it still rattles
