how to Dynamat the boot of a vy

[Nic92]

hey guys,

so i want to get some dynamat, and im just wondering where do you put it, like do you dynamat the "whole boot" like on the sides and back also on the floor under the carpet, or will it be enough if i just put it on the lid of the boot and the top under the parcel shelf??

[acarmody]

If you got the money than I would do the whole boot. Other wise just the boot lid and the parcel tray would be a good start.

Here's a hint that I learnt, don't try to press it down with bare hands, the aluminum shreds your skin, my hands looked very emo after that day.

hehe the one i want to buy is DYNAMAT XTREME BULK PACK 9SHEETS (36.0 Sq. FT TOTAL) it comes with a free roller

umm, can you show me some pics of it??

so if i do the whole boot i gotta like rip all the carpet out and dynamat it ?

Why are you interested in getting Dynamat? Do your panels rattle and buzz with music? That's the main reason for fitting Dynamat. If you're doing it to reduce road/exhaust noise through the boot, then it's not really the best product for that.

[Nic92]

umm, if you've seen my vids you'd know

like the noise form the rear parcel shelf vibrating when your tryen to lisen to clear bass >.<

I'll be looking at this soon.

Id def do the parcel tray and the steel behind the back seats, that's gotta resonate.

I wont bother with much of the boot though. Maybe some in the middle of the side panels and the lid.

Are you going to do your front doors?

[HOLD3N]

if you buy a bulk pack you should have enough to do the whole boot. What about your doors, there are some excellent gains to be had with dynamat in your front doors to help reduce the rattles.

[Nic92]

umm idk, if tehres enough id use it all up if i can. id have to rip the carpet out wont i? to do the sides and behind the seats? or can i just put it on the other side of the emtal panel right behind the seats or it wont do anything? has to go where the amps are?, there gonna be in the way aswell

[EDIT] Wont say too much, OP will probably have a cry.

Stop posting USELESS threads and do some google search, I have told you before read up about Dynamating and purposes, Once you actually understand it's purpose you will be able to tell yourself where it is needed.

[Nic92]

can you please give me a link to info?, i looked on there website and got a bit confused

i know where i am going to put it, just really cant be stuffed ripping any carpet to strap it on meh!,

alberts car stereo told me to buy it then they told me there price and i never went back there soOoOo.

is this correct?

" Sound deadening products like dynamat add mass to the panels that they stick to, making them heavier, so it is harder for them to vibrate and therefore color the sound coming from the speakers. Using them gives you a purer sound because it comes only from your speakers. [Dynamat] works great for that purpose.
Then there are closed-cell foam products, like ensolite, that absorb sound from the outside, and make the inside of your car quieter.
Another problem in cars is rattles. Two panels whacking together causes rattling, plain & simple. This can be solved 100% by putting something soft in between the 2 panels where they make contact. My favorite thing to use is foam tape. Cheap, effective, easy to apply. You can also put dynamat or whatever in between the panels if you're just determined to spend about $100 too much. Or you can get ghetto, & stuff an old shirt or towel in there. They all will work. "

You need to separate the parcel shelf from whatever it's rattling against. Usually rubber or foam is a good option to separate two vibrating objects. Generally, Dynamat is just to add weight and damping to flat metal panels.

[Nic92]

umm, idk what it is rattling from, the whole thing just vibrates,

[sweefu]

Step 1.
Apply dynamat.
Step 2.
Bang seven gram rocks.

Sounds on track, I guess it's a pretty simple way of putting it.

I have not done to much testing with VY's and rattleing, So i cant tell you all the specifics.
Like you are planning though, Boot lid itself is a great place to start. Having the least amount of structure with quite a bit of sheet metal. Rear quarter panel out skin maybe another place, Not the actual internal piece but put your hands in and it's another place where sheet metal is high with little structure for added mass. I have noted that the parcel shelf trim itself seems to vibrate like crazy, Preferably some dynamat on the bottom of this and secure it down with a better locking system maybe an idea.
Aside that, Ýou can never have too much dynamat, It wont do any harm. Just depends how much you want to strip the car, Your budget and how much gain you are set to except.

If it'll make it easier for you, Autobarn sells a Dynomat 'boot kit" for like $300ish

ok thank you very much ^, umm yeah might as well use it up since im buying a bulk pack (if i do end up getting it)

[DevilDRake]

Just a few things you'll notice once you cover up the back, the front two pillars rattle aswell a fair bit from mine so I can only imagine it's louder with yours.

I use this

CAR SOUND DEADENING DAMPENING BULK MAT + DYNAMAT ROLLER (eBay item 330564023217 end time 23-May-11 10:17:08 AEST) : Cars, Bikes, Boats

I couldnt tell the difference having this & dynamat side by side really, Apart from logo, I guess...

Jeez it's pretty cheap, seems like something I should snatch up.

yeah thanks for that, if it comes out cheaper il consider it

[HoZy]

Goodluck ^_^ It made one hell of a difference for both audio an how the car felt when opening & shutting doors an boot an tapping on it, depending where you put it

I'd suggest rubber o rings, lots of acetone free adjesive/sealant in caulking tubes, aka sikaflex or bostik sealant,
Put it inbetween your boot braces & boot lid, lots of it, Dynamat over it once it has cured an your boot skin wont vibrate/come loose from the braces.

Even thin bits of rubber on pieces that rub, You go to extremes to stop rattles. It's best when you cannot see what you have done either.. I have near none, now days.

Cheers
Mat

EDIT:
Boot after all sealant cured an then I dynamatted, that was before I finished an did the top section etc. an put silicon tubing around the boot release an heatshrinked it to prevent rattles.

[DevilDRake]

Do you need the roller or would it be fine with some thick gloves O.o?

edit: Looks like a normal paint roller to me...


Is that the only spot you fitted it? Or did you end up putting it behind the carpet on the walls of the boot and in the tyre well aswell?

[HoZy]

It's a wooden roller, You dont really need it, i did it with the back of a thick screwdriver an some spare wood i rounded off, roller would be easier but yeah. You make do.

Cheers
Mat

P.S- my boot lid is pretty now, that pic is a while back

[Nic92]

o.O okie dokie

[StoneX]

Yeah, hands and the butt of a screwdriver was all I used. You can use your hands mostly, just use common sense and don't slide your fingers along the edge of the sheets as the aluminium layer can cut you.
