![]() ![]() Sticking material on top of the spare tire well and the flat surfaces will make a very big difference. Lots of metal - thin metal no less - and lots of flat surfaces. I didn't bother with doing the metal where the interior door panel goes - although my friend went for it on both the door skin and the interior door panel - I couldn't tell the difference with the extra layer.īy far the floor at the rear of the Mazda5 is the big ringer. I also added carpet padding on the interior door panels on my Subaru (cheapo alternative to ensolite) - this helped some more, but caused problems refitting the panels back onto the doors. ![]() Besides, the doors feel so satisfyingly solid when you rap your knuckles on the outside of the door metal as opposed to the tin-can bang. Just getting some material on the insides of the door skins made a huge difference. Roof will necessitate removing the headliner which I am very adverse to doing.especially since I don't have a roof rack or other noise contributors up there. In my case, I have worked with b-quiet which at the time was cheaper than Dynamat. ![]() My take is that doors and floors are the biggest gain. But the car is manual transmission so it helps a lot. I have MLV layered throughout my entire car so acceleration suffers. If youre going to put MLV on the doors, youre going to have to cut up sections and paste them together using vinyl tape or HH-66 vinyl cement (which is what I used). I think MLV doesn't make too much of a difference on doors, but more on throughout the car (espeically the roof and the floor). The layers were too thick, some areas of the door panel don't fasten properly, but it doesnt vibrate because I added CLD tiles to the panel itself as well. On the inside, I just used CLD tiles (Alpha damp) and CCF ensolite (from RAAMaudio). I only added MLV between the door panel and the skeleton of the door (On top of CLD and CCF). I just drilled them off and chucked them. You're most likely going to have to remove the "acoustic" dampeners in the door panel themselves. It's a pain in the ass, especially since the MLV does not conform to the door easily. ![]()
