Since my mind is full of crap, i decided to take some time off and work on my car. just sitting there doing the work while relaxing. perfect weather by the way.
heres a pix after stripping everything out.




after a day of work, here it is.








what do u guys think? should i do more. i bout the 34sq ft one or whatever and the last 2 sheets i used it on the mr2.

how much does all that dynomat weigh?

Damn thats looking good...how much did it cost? I want to do something like that a little later down the road when i get enough time and a system....what did you do for the back panel where the rear speakers are?????

good work. Wouldnt be much of a gain for the floors since the metal is quite thick unlike your outer door skin and quarter panels.Use blockers such as rubber mats for the floors.

Another good place to dynamat is the roof if you haven't done so. Flat big surfaces are the surfaces that need dynamat the most.

Rear quarters, doors (ear level) are the most "bang for buck" places to have dynamat.

Regarding sealing your doors and in terms of audio. Covering those little holes alone wouldnt do anything.

Correct way to do it is to cutout a mdf piece to seal up the large hole. then use dynamat on the whole inner panel.

Reason for sealing is to slow down the back waves from the speaker so that it wouldnt interfere with the front of the speaker. Waves travel through objects and the inner door metal is not enough.

idk but it does way ALOT....btw is dynamat brand really a must, or are those cheap "no brand'' types just as good?

^the cheapest product that you could buy that's a lot like dynamat is called peel-and-stick(roofing section) and you can get it at lowes or maybe home depot. it's about 14 dollars and you get a decent size role.

too expensive.. i would if i had the money to get second skin.

me and 2 other buddies are going in on some B-Quiet. It was on the higher side as far as ratings go, and you can get 100 sq feet for $100 off ebay, plus $25 shipping (thats the B-quiet extreme, the butyl based B-Quiet Ultimate goes for $200+$25 shipping/100 sq feet). MDF is a type of plywood, cheap, i used it to cut out speaker surounds for the 6.5" in my doors.

mdf is a type of wood medium density fiberboard you can get it in .25 inch sheets, 3/8 sheets, 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch sheets, and 1 inch. great for making boxes or templates real easy to work with

well i have another issue now. water is getttin in my quater panel in the fronts. Do i need new weather strips for my window? cuz its dripping alot! and what if i put a sub in there and water is getting all over it? and where do i put mdf?

Hey, how'd you get these speakers up high like this? If I do the 8" sub conversion in the front doors, I'd like to do some smaller speakers like this up higher.

That is a factory speaker. Some cars had an 8 speaker package as an option. You could certainly put a speaker there yourself but it would require some customization on your part, including cutting out a hole in the door panel.
