Hey All,

Just finished deadening my front doors (i drive a 2005 honda civic sedan) and still have 3 sheets of Dynamat left for other purposes.

Just looking for opinions of whether or not deadening the rear doors is necessary.

Obviously deadening the boot would be ideal but i dont think that 3 sheets will cover that area. (hopefully i can use 1.5 sheets to do each door)

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Cheers.

If your rear doors rattle like in my VS, or/and can hear road-noise from the back then go for it. :)

If you also have rear speakers in them then yes -----> deaden.

Thanks guys.

Rattling in the rear doors isnt so much of a problem as my sub doesnt really hit THAT hard to make it shake and also no speakers are in the doors.

Paid a visit to Owen at CCS and his suggestion was to do it for the road noise.
Has anyone here done it for that sole purpose??
Does it improve the overall bass effect in the car in anyway??

See this post http://www.mobileelectronics.com.au/forums...st&p=986416, in particular the points about the difference between Mass Loaded material, 'Acoustic Absorption Coefficient' and Acoustic Reflection Coefficient".
