Sound Deadening Guide for Scion xB
#50
I've never used sound-deadening material before. I know that my door panels rattle when my little 8" sub hits, but the doors themselves are fine. How much trouble is it to deaden the door panels? I'm worried that after I put some deadening material on the panels I won't be able to get them back on!

Thanks
Thanks for write up,
I decided to do the project and have Edead material waiting for my hands. Seems one of the first best steps to improve over all quality of the car for the money. Looking forward to posting couple pics.

Did the rivits have to be replaced on the hatch and side doors? Meaning are they single use?
Are the side door rivits and hatch rivits available from a Scion parts dept?

I have a question...How much noise is coming from the little covers on either side in the back? You know, the ones you take off to get to the rear light wiring? Mine has what looks like a 2"-3" square 'carpet padding' just shoved in there. I was thinking this is where alot of MY unwanted sound is coming from. I can see the outside after taking this 'padding' out. Check it out on your own box...I bet you see light!
It's a GREAT write-up and almost a nessecity when doing sound systems, but I think we are overlooking the obvious here as far as where the drone or exhaust/road noise coming from the back area.
Anyone tackle this?

I am in the middle of doing my xA with EDead V1, with just the spare tire and rear seat area done, I can tell a HUGE difference! While it isn't Lexus quiet, it sure makes a nicer riding car..I hope to get the hatch area done soon, then it is the door panels. The hardest part of the project is bending over so much is killing my back!

Putting eDead in the doors will def reduce the cheap sound the doors make when they are closed.
Great post ... this is a project that costs little more than time and really increases the ride quality. No one will appreciate doing this mod more than the owner!
