Anyone have any dynamat pictures?

[shane96ranger]

I'm getting some new speakers this week and I want to Dynamat the rear and probably use some of the roofing stuff for the doors. I have a roll of Dynamat, but not enough to do everything. So basically, I don't know what the hell areas I need to put it on. I have a decent idea of what to do on the doors, but the rears of my Super Cab are a bit perplexing to me. I would really appreciate some pics if anyone has some.....and advice too please!

Awesome, Thank you! Do I need to apply any at all to the outer shell of the door, or does all of it go in the inner part? It appears that the basic concept may be to eliminate as many holes as possible? If this is the case, how in the world do you do the rear speakers in a Super Cab? Mine has the brackets that raise it away from the actual body, so it has a gap there of 3/4"-1" I bet.

This weekend I installed the carpet over my Dynamat so it's too late for pictures of the back and floor. I ended up using two bulk packs of Dynamat and still didn't have enough. I covered everything: roof, doors, sides and floor. I think the important parts are the back wall of the cab and the floor. For the area behind the rear speakers you could just put some 2" foam. Do you have the jump seats that fold into the side of the cab? That's what I have and there will be a couple layers of foam in there when I'm done. I plan to put some foam behind the speakers too.

As far as the doors go I didn't put any Dynamat inside the door cavity. I think undercoating was sprayed on the inside of my doors and I doubt that the Dynamat would have stuck to it. I ended up buying some sheet aluminum to cover up the larger holes in the door panel and then Dynamatted over the entire door. I haven't put the panel on the doors yet so if you want a picture of the door let me know. The door was easy but I don't have power windows or locks. Before you cover up the door be sure to lubricate the window mechanism. I used caliper grease and a brush (it's what I had).

I used 7 cans of Great Stuff foam insulation to fill in the cavities throughout the cab. It's probably overkill, but I'm into overkill.

Depends on how much money and time you want to put in. I just did the metal inbetween the door panel to dampen outside noise, prevent some panel vibrations, and to create a better enclosure. I use 3" full ranges for my rears so I didnt really care about even attempting to seal that up because it wasnt worth it. I also put sheets across the rear wall of the cab. I have my subs firing at it and it's the largest span of unsupported metal. It's easy enough to cover. Just pick up a heat gun and go to town, you'll get the hang of it.

Awesome, I just so happen to have access to some foam. Would it be better if it were more dense....something similar in density to the Mr. Clean Magic Erasers? If not, I can get some regular, more porous foam. I also have a little dampening material for speaker boxes I could add.

That would be sweet! I love pics.

This is my main focus, an enclosure. You've posted on my other thread about the speakers. Like said on there; I heard the owner of the local audio shops car on Saturday with just some Kenwood 6X8's and it sounded like it had a small sub in it. I'm positive the guy got the extra thump from Dynamatting the doors - they promote Dynamat all through the shop. A little kick is really all I'm after, I have a 10 in my Mustang that will make your ears bleed if I need a fix.

I also put sheets across the rear wall of the cab.

I should have done this a couple weeks ago when I put my cargo cover in! Stupid hindsight always kicks me in the ass. I don't think I have the patience and time to do the floor right now (I still have a bunch of work I want to do to my Mustang before snowfall). I think the floor will be a further down the road project, but I would certainly like to get it done.
