Yaris Sedan Deadening and Sound system upgrade

[derickveliz2]

OEM deadening material





Taking a break!




Clean!





2 CLD Tiles.





Some of that Radiant heat insulator...




1/4" CCF and ready for MLV





With no MLV to work last night I started playing around with the amps, the 3rd amp will be here soon, maybe I'll put it under the passengers seat? or in line with these 2. I didn't realize they where so big and heavy





This one will provide power to midrange and tweeters...




PS. I will try not to forget the MLV tonight.

So just wondering, why did you take the OEM deadener off/out? Why not just put pieces of tile over it? I thought the more material you have to stop sound the better right...?

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,

The OEM material is very chip (bad quality), will dry very quickly and eventually "Crack"; like in a previous post (back in the trunk section) where I found OEM deadening dry and cracking, that won't be good under the area treated.

Tile aka CLD Tiles are not designed to block or stop the noise, the purpose of the CLD Tiles is to control "Resonance" on metal panels. And they have to be applied directly to metal. MLV is the material I'm using to block/stop unwanted noise, the foam also creates a small barrier but is more an absorbing material also used to prevent rattling between panels.

If I was going to use only mat(tiles) for deadening I would have to put more than 2 or 3 layers to get the same results I'm getting with MLV. It's not bad it also would help for SPL, but will increase my work load. And like I mention at the begining of this thread, I'm only spending 2 to 4 hours a week. (well some times I'm lucky and I spend more time). But applying many layers of Mat to a car is time consuming, lots of work.

I hope It helps.
