I am not current with car audio marker, but Dr. Artex was a popular brand.I m not sure if I have missed an earlier thread. But, any recommendations, suggestions on sound dampening in cars ( brands/ effectiveness/ what areas addressed etc) along with an approximate cost. Thanks.
Any specific reason you want to get the firewall deadened? It's a cumbersome process involving u mounting of the entire dashboard.It's for a 2020 superb, petrol. Anyways a quiet car. I have already added sound deadlines in the doors under the cards. The present plan is for the firewall, under seat areas, dicky and maybe the hood. I have heard that Kilmat is pretty good, else Dynamat, butyl based and avoiding asphalt based material. I don't plan on upgrading the speakers in the near future. One step at a time.
Well I don't understand what's your goal of sound damping?I was not looking at that detailed a install, just the footwear area which is easily accessible. I agree that removing the dashboard would be not only tedious but also risky for anything to go wrong on reinstallation
I think this is an important question. A good Answer to this may be the best pointer for your decision on the next steps.Well I don't understand what's your goal of sound damping?
For noise control/insulation? As you said superb petrol is already a quiet car.
For better sq? Not much use if you are on stock sound system.
I think for safety reasons it’s better not to get the car interior totally sound proofed from the outside?I am looking at the same principle as in home audio, 1) Suppress or control other sounds as a quieter environment will yield better audio quality with the existing equipment. 2) Take the next step in upgrading the equipment. I think starting with the dampening is the best route. Even with the car already being a quiet vehicle, gains will be made in reducing external sounds. The ultimate goal is better audio quality. As far as whether I am satisfied with my Car audio experience, it's a never ending quest in home/ car setups improvement. I m sure you guys have been bitten by this bug too.
I meant it’s safer to be able to hear horns, emergency sirens of ambulances and police etc.Not sure what you mean. Firstly it's not sound proofed ( which is not possible), just sound dampened. Also what is the safety reason? What is the question mark after your statement?
Which brand makes least noise?changed the tyres.
