Hey guys!
Ive had this idea in my head for a little while about putting in some sound deadener in the forester. The two most popular reasons for this seem to be to enhance audio systems or to decrease road and exhaust/engine noise. Good sound deadening looks like it will do both.
Ive been interested in the cheap DIY's seen online with "peel and seal" or similar types of products that people stick to the inner door panels, along the back trunk (of wagons) and along wheel wells....etc. It looks like from reading that this only stops those surfaces from vibrating so much which helps speakers to put noise into the car and, to a lesser extent, helps outside vibrations (from traffic and wind) from transmitting noise into the car. A second layer of foam (they call it 'closed cell foam') looks like it helps more for the traffic and wind and road noise. and then the hardcore audiophiles add a layer of super heavy vinyl stuff to block out more...
Im mostly interested in the first two layers and was wondering if anyone in this area has any experiencing with either home-depot/lowes products or the RAAmaat/dynamat type products.
Was it worth it?
I was just curious and checked out home depot and lowes and both did not carry "peel and seal"
heres an interesting thread if interested
