Wow!! (bowdown)(bowdown)(bowdown)

And the difference? All that work...? And was it worth it?

I am tempted to coat the rear of our M5. It's pretty noisy at HWY speeds.

Very nice--- I'm in the middle of this myself, I've disassembled the rear cargo area, removed the 3rd seat (permanent for me) and started laying Damplifier. To me this is definitely worth it, a necessary step prior to a stereo upgrade. Plus, I found a hunk of plastic bouncing around back there, doesn't appear to be anything functional.

Thanks for the pics! A question: it looks like you've changed your front speakers to 6.5 inch. What did you use for an adapter?

Does this treatment help temperature insulation or reduce road noise or both? Why is it important to do this for stereo sound purposes? Thanks.

Does this work as well as Dynomat?

I'm partial to Damplifier by Second Skin, they make products specially suited to auto applications.

As for starting with a sound deadening project before a stereo upgrade, it depends on the car. While a 5 isn't the noisiest interior, I found the rear cargo area to transmit a fair amount of road noise, a problem easily addressed...

OEM Speakers !

Will see for the temperature this summer, but for the sounds of the speakers, this is a really good add-on.

If you want it to be as good as Dynamat you will need to apply 2 layers ! Still cheaper than Dynamat even with 2 layers.

Interesting... those speakers look like 6 1/2" as opposed to the 6 x 8" we get in the US--- or it's an illusion.

Once everything out of the way (doors trim, floor mat, seat etc) 1.5 hours.

I buy it at Rona. But they have the same in Home Depot or Home Hardware.

How dramatic was the decrease? I would be completely afraid to take my car apart like that without a step by step guide (in English ). Also I'd need it to be a serious decrease in noise level.

You find your exhaust to be easier to listen to over distance now right?

pannels are very very easy to take apart, and but back together... just dont lose any of the pins, and you will be fine.

How thin exactly? Acoustiblok is only 1/8" thick. Dynamat is only 1.5mm thick. Don't think you can judge performance based on thickness. Only way to tell would be a pre/post installation sound level test. Then repeat with a name brand.

More specifically, can you listen to the radio at low volume at freeway speeds? I don't even try on my 5.
