Yaris Sedan Deadening and Sound system upgrade

[swidd]

I was quoted $700 for a floor, door, rear trunk and rear speaker area sound deadening job with dynamat, from a pro installer shop. It wouldve required me to get a rental car while they would keep the car for two days.

Doing it myself with b-quiet abd some cheap carpet and old clothes ~ $220. The real savings will result from not having to buy a new car to be satisfied.

I like doing it my self, I do it with lots of precautions, love and care to my car. I don't even let anybody else change the oil. I'm afraid that they won't do it carefully and won't do it with PASSION! like I do.

And if I had to do it all over again, I Would!

Besides a layer of dynamat it's not going to be enough to get good results. I'm going to tell you a little secret I did. I experimented with the right front wheel well and applied 2 layers of Mat and went for a ride, not much of an improvement, then I installed the MLV with CCF and the difference was significant better. I understand the going for SPL the extra layers of Mat help, and at some point starts working as a sound barrier.
It's like when we do schools with Gyms next to libraries, Classrooms and Auditoriums, in the specs we show absorbent materials and sound barriers.

Any way it doesn't matter how we do it, there are too many factors and opinions and I respect everybody's point of view but the most important is that we are having fun with our cars and sharing, comparing and enjoying what all this is about. "YarisWorld"
