I remember dynamat being thing over 20 years ago, but the installation technique seems to be different. The stuff that i remember people were praising was supposed to go on the outter wall of the doors, not on inner wall where vapor barrier sits. So in this case you are basically not using vehicle vapor barrier that came with the doors at all?
I've looked at several videos and this was always at the forefront of my mind. In a 2015 Chevy Cruze, I've had to replace the window motor assembly several times now. The whole thing is made of metal except where the cables connect to the motor assembly. They are made from plastic and have a tendency to break in the winter, especially if your window is frozen and you try to actuate the window, accidently or otherwise.
In order to keep sound out, and also help my door act as a proper speaker enclosure, can I just apply this to the inner door as you have done here, or do I need to apply sound absorption to the inside of the door (the outside sheet metal) as well? I have sound deadened my outside metal of my doors, and now I want to apply sound absorbing materials and seal my door so the speakers have a proper environment to produce midbass.
@@crutchfield I am installing Infinity Kappa 603cf, into a 2008 Trailblazer. My doors are deadened, and I’ve found out that one really absorbent panel in the window motor hole will kill most noise.
Just don't ask a mechanic to ever work on it. I put my Dynamat underneath and adhere it to the door's outer shell. Not sure why they cover the inside. You are also able to reuse the factory sound deadening if any and the vapor barrier if you like.
@@helsonly722 Dynamat will hold till the cows come home. That stuff is impervious. I don't see that as a factor and have had it on a car for a decade without issue.
@@GordonPotterthe issue is how easy can you remove it? If you have a window regulator or anything else behind there that needs replaced, you’re going to have a difficult time.
I did the inside of mine as well but I didn’t cover any access holes just on the sheet metal inside and the frame behind the panel but idk about covering entry holes it’s a pain
I ordered all of my new system from crutchfield. My master sheet with instructions wouldnt download. I used tech support and they had me hack into the crutchfield ready harness and try to find power for my new subwoofer amp. It had a pac interface which is why i had them put the harness together but the whole experience left me with a bad taste for crutchfield. I used to love you guys but im pretty sure somethings wrong with either the interface or the receiver. I got it all together and cleaned up as best as i could. Sorry for the rant, just wish i made better choices and did more homework

It might help as long as the door panel clips are intact and not the cause of the rattling. Check those clips first and if they are all securing the paneling very well, then install the Dynamat
You'll want to be sure and install the Dynamat before the speakers so the speaker opening is apparent. From there, you'll install the speakers and screws.
The more actual material you install, the better the sound isolation and dampening is. At a bare minimum for sound quality, installing some around your speakers and behind your speakers like you mentioned is a good move. Using the Dynamat extreme door kit and covering the inner panel like in the video is always a good idea for the best performance.
Hey! Great video. I have door railing in both doors from the roofers. It sounds like plastic... Would installing your dynomat on the metal as shown work or would i have to Dyno the plastic as well?
@@crutchfieldThanks for responding! I have an Alfa Romeo Giulia 2018. Seems to around the window buttons and the plastic around the woofers. Smaller rattles present too but can't pin point where!
So, dynamating the metal will likely give the largest improvement. for the plastic parts, foam gaskets/padding can get rid of vibration/rattles as well!
@@crutchfield just want to know if putting any sort of dynamat or sound absorbing foam on the inside of the outer shell is ok? Worried about it getting wet and holding moisture causing rust. Foam would essentially be a sponge
You can install Dynamat Extreme on the inside of the outer door skin. The Dynamat Extreme Squared universal kit in the link below would be a great choice! pulse.ly/s44mlqjyl6
You can install Dynamat on the interior side of the exterior section of the door panel, but that can be difficult to get to, and there may be wiring and window mechanisms that get in the way. It's typically much easier to get the right coverage on the inside wall, if you can. Feel free to reach out if you have additional questions!
It really just depends on what you are trying to accomplish. Dynamat isn't an absolute necessity with most systems, but the more surfaces you use it on, the better the audio performance will be, in terms of reducing road noise and unwanted resonance.
Good way to having to rip it back off an buy more if you need to change a window regulator exc 😂 you’d be better off Dynamating the inside frame then if you want to go the extreme, mat the door card an actually cut out your entry point! Then at least you can fix something if it needs to be fixed
It's so awesome y'all go above and beyond for so many products and vehicles to help us
Thank you so much! We're happy to help! 😊
crutchfields always been a class act, been doin buisness with em for years... thanx for the video guys
Putting a small square piece behind the speakers is a good idea

It must have been at least 25 years ago that I removed the vapour barrier and covered the inner skin of my doors in Dynamat.
Good video. Thanks for posting. Helped me gain confidence in applying this stuff to my vehicle.
Great demonstration and explanation on how it works, however, when that day comes to replace that window motor someone is gonna have a bad time.

@@michaels8405 💯 huge pain in the ass.

I have sound deadened my outside metal of my doors, and now I want to apply sound absorbing materials and seal my door so the speakers have a proper environment to produce midbass.
That should be fine for most applications. What are you installing specifically? What is the year, make, and model of your vehicle?
@@crutchfield I am installing Infinity Kappa 603cf, into a 2008 Trailblazer. My doors are deadened, and I’ve found out that one really absorbent panel in the window motor hole will kill most noise.
Nice speaker choice! And, yes, installing it as we did above will be ideal.

Is it ok to put on the inside of the outer shell? Heard it can get wet and hold onto moisture

You're welcome, Fernando. Are you planning to add Dynamat to a specific installation?
Thank you for the info!

Will this help With the door panels rattling,? Or do you need to coat the inside of the panel also?
It might help as long as the door panel clips are intact and not the cause of the rattling. Check those clips first and if they are all securing the paneling very well, then install the Dynamat
5:15 How did you know where to cut for the speaker hole? And poke the screw holes through?
You'll want to be sure and install the Dynamat before the speakers so the speaker opening is apparent. From there, you'll install the speakers and screws.
Can it be peeled off if a mechanic needs to access the door via the door hole that gets covered with dynamat?
You can use a utility knife to cut the Dynamat to gain access and then simply add a new piece to replace it.
Can you install dynamat in the wheel well, not inside the car but outside? Is it waterproof?
We do not recommend installing Dynamat on the outside of a vehicle. There is no IP rating for it and it is not likely to last long
@@crutchfield what can be installed instead?
The best bet there would be the Dynamat DynaCore: www.crutchfield.com/I-rIGRc921/shopsearch/Dynamat_DynaCore.html
It’s nice! Though if you need to replace an actuator.. I’d have to remove it all..
Do you really need to glue it all over ?
It's self adhesive.
Should I also apply the dynamite inside the frame too ?
You could. Most people do not go that far, but it will simply add even more sound deadening.
Is it necessary to use that much? Wouldn't a piece behind the speaker & a piece around the speaker do the samething?
The more actual material you install, the better the sound isolation and dampening is. At a bare minimum for sound quality, installing some around your speakers and behind your speakers like you mentioned is a good move.

How did you get all the sticky tape from the vapor barrier off? Scrape it with a knife?
That will typically work just fine.
I installed most of mine inside the door
Is it ok to install dynamat on the inside of the outer shell?
We're glad to help. What is your specific application?

I tho you would stick that to outside wall?

Is using that much dynamat necessary?
It really just depends on what you are trying to accomplish. Dynamat isn't an absolute necessity with most systems, but the more surfaces you use it on, the better the audio performance will be, in terms of reducing road noise and unwanted resonance.
Builders flashing 10m X 225mm at £10 a roll is vastly cheaper and does same job imo.
very similar product, usually butyl based adhesive with some sort of aluminum imbedded
I was thinking the same thing the other day had a 2 rolls of butyl there when putting my speakers in..😅
Wait, I thought you were supposed to but some inside the door as well.
That can work well too - the more surface area of the door panel you cover, the better the performance will be for reducing resonance and noise.

I want the dynamat on the sheet metal not the door panel.
That will work just fine.
That is what happens in the video lol
@@qTravis666I’ve seen it placed onto the inner sheet metal, not onto the outer door panel.
