I'm replacing the speakers in the doors. Is installing Dynamat while I'm in there worth the price?

 

OH YES! You reduce the interior noise by 3-4db's with just one layer. Even more if you do 2. The most needed areas are the door panels and the floor. To giv you an idea of how much difference 3db's is; it takes TWICE the amplification to increase the db level 3 db's using the same speaker setup. It makes a HUGE difference!

 

I used RAAM mat, works great, half the price, and it isnt that peel and stick roofing junk....

did my doors, and the rear floor/back of the cab, just need to do the front firewall and under the front seats to finish it up, cuts down on the resonance from the road and 5" straight pipe too, the door mat helps the speakers sound cleaner...

 

I'm going to do the door first then. Next I'll tackle the back of the cab when I have some spare cash and time. From what I've read here the back of the cab is supposed to be real bad place for road noise.

 

I don't know if this is a good product or not, I have not tried it, but is sounds interesting. Check out Quiet Car, it is a water based liquid, brush, spray or roll-on sound deadening material. Google it and read. I have to replace my clutch and I plan on painting the underside of the whole truck above the transmission and x-fer case.

 

Another thing that I have been told works great is the spray on bed liners such as Line-x or Rhino-liner. They are a bit more permanent, but they can be color coordinated and sprayed on the outside. I've seen people spray them between the back of the cab and the bed, on the inside of the door panels, and under the carpet kits. I've never been inside one after, but I hear it works better than the adhesive sound products.

 

Really? Where have you heard this. That is a very interesting idea I never thought of and would like more info if you have it!

 

Where do you get this raam and dynamat stuff, sounds very interesting.. probably help with the turbo whistle that is driving the gf crazy

Get rid of the girlfriend, the whistle is awesome in my opinion! Just kidding

 

I second that .... jk

 

Does anyone have information on how to pop the door panels off. I have been wanting to do this to my 03 to help quit the road noise down some. And help the stock radio out. I am on vacation and the weather stinks need some garage time.

 

Ok, I guess it is not as good as I thought: Anyone try Rhino Lining the Trunk?

I did a quick search and found some other info on sound deadening:

Let's get serious about noise reduction...

you could also use this product instead of dynamat.

the door panels come off with some screws on the bottom, by the mirror area, and the door handle some off.

Then they slide up and away from the door.

Much easier than the christmas tree plugs of the past. Thanks dodge for this easy removal.

 

Thanks i was out in the garage taking them off. They come off slick four screws door handle and pull up!

 

That Quiet Car stuff looks incredible! And if it works as well as the ad shows, I will be loading that on the whole truck! (inside that is)!
