I started this project last summer and it took me tell today to finally post some pics.

I just put the finishing touches on, one last layer of FatMat. It’s finally Perfect!

And you did this... why??

dry

how does it sound compared to NON soundproofed doors?

Fonque

where did you mount the crossovers in the door? like behind what part of the panel?

superfro86

Sound Quality!
With soundproofed doors my Polk EX component system sounds awesome. With high highs and low lows the acoustical spectrum is amazing. The soundproofing blocks all the road noise out while at the same time keeps my stereo sound waves in.


I can hear every musical note/tone crisp and clean while doing 70 on the freeway. Granted road noise still comes in from the floor and sunroof but the overall db level in the cabin is perfect. It was well worth it IMHO. Funny cuz I get to do it all over again soon when I buy my 200sx SE-R. Floors and more this time.


You can actually see the crossovers in the pictures. Look at the seatbelt contraption and you’ll notice a small box with 6 speaker wires coming off it. I had to remove the cover/top off each crossover to get a perfect fit. Clearance issues come into play when you stash an x-over in your door. Also you may need to get at the crossover for one reason or another so you can’t just burry it and forget it.

Yeah, I did that. VB-1 covers the entire inside of each door.

Man, if i had only done that sooner I'll bet i'd have fewer door dings.

Do you even grasp the idea of what sound deadner does???? just because it will increase the level of volume in the car doesnt mean hes going to crank it all extra loud.... If you where to do your whole car in the same material in your "V" then got on the freeway you wouldnet have to turn it up as loud to drown out the road noise which means your speakers will last longer

Can you hear me now?

Honestly! We could go into hundreds of reasons why soundproofing your car doors is beneficial to your audio system… but frankly I don’t think that would have anything to do with what this particular post is about.

I’m simply showing the 1000’s of other Sentra owners out there what kind of job soundproofing your doors is… and happily answering any questions they may have on how to got about doing it them selves, or what the finished results look and sound like.

So if anyone would like to know more please DO ask.

As far as why anyone would want to go about doing something like this… well, I’m just gunna have to let you go ahead and figure that out on your own.

Best of Luck!

I have my doors soundproofed but not to the extent you did your doors. Nice job!! How long did it take you to do that and what material did you use?

Sethticlees

About 5 days was all. I took my sweet time and only put in about an hour a day if that. It's good not to rush because the VB-1 needs some time and 70 degree heat to dry quickly.
I just left my car parked in direct sun.

If you would like to read the step by step check out my original post.
