Hey guys, im a very frequent member of Mobile Electronics Australia otherwise known as MEA.

To the point I thought I would "link" an article that has been created by the Admin of MEA, its all about correctly Sound Deadening a vehicle and I thought this would help new members on here.

Below is the link:

Feel free to discuss and ask some questions if necessary about what you have hopefully just red.

good to see the magnas are represented on MEA. anyone else?

My build is quite frequent on MEA, there is also a Verada on there that is coming along well. Then we have another 3rd Gen that will be underway in mid december.

are they on here? I put up pics of my verada sedan but the wagon has a long way to go... its all running but got to finish door panels ,redesign boot and fibreglass a-pillars and kicks.

The other Magna is but not the Verada.

Tom's Magna is one that has just appeared on MEA, he is waiting for some gear then it will be very interesting to see.

^_^

speaking of which, i should get on to sound deadening the car ready for the gear. Thanks for the reminder

No worries lol.

Dont forget to do the headliner as that probally equates for well over 60% of in cabin rattles.

Bumpo back to the top!

I need a bit of information with regards to sound deadening the front doors in a magna. The largest hole in the door. will that reqire MDF to cover that up? once its covered in with MDF do you then sound deaden the MDF as well?

Yes, that is a common practice.

any thoughts on brands of sound deadening or cost, everyone seems to say dynamat but that might cost more than the car

Unfortunately you get what you pay for - most reviews I've read of cheaper sound deadening materials haven't been favourable.

the most common and fair priced sound deadener is dynamat. some shops are using the plain old outdated dynamat but selling it at the same price, if ya pick up dynamat make sure it is dynamat xtreme or tell them to bugger off. ive been a member of mea for about 2years know plenty of audio know how and guides well worth a look for anyone
