I would like to know for a car like the Iriz, how much square feet of sound insulator mat (like the Dynamat) would it needed to cover the whole car? I wanted to soundproof it from top to bottom in 1 layer, while the wheel well area would get double layer.

I was thinking of changing my stock speakers first before, but after few consideration I thought that it would be more prudent to actually soundproof it first and foremost, since the NVH of my car is considerably high (in my own opinion).

you would have to take into consideration that different area of the car requires different products (thickness / density) to work best for the area...

a rough idea for you to estimate, a normal sedan(vios/almera/city) cabin full sound proof including the rear trunk area... would take total of 60 pcs of sound proof of various series...

and to your expectations...
it kills the rains noise other than those coming from the windshields..
it kills the road noise coming from the floor pans...
it helps on the audio tremendously...
thats about it to my honest opinion...

but to really reduce the NVH levels when cruising, consider sound proofing and then auto foam your car chassis... that way the wind sound that travels through these tunnels are completely removed and its really quiet during high way speed...

and it comes down to your engine, tyres and suspensions...

so... cheers.gif

I always thought that you can actually just use a single series of product for the whole car, just add a few layers of it on top of each other on the areas that you wanted to block the most like from the wheel well area. Seems like that is not the case.

Can you recommend any product that is good for each area? Thanks! cheers.gif

craziechild is right, he dint mean u need opt for various brand

yes you can stick to 1 brand.. but there is different tpye of product in a brand...
dynamat have product specialize for hood which is hoodliner
for thermal insulator which is dynaliner

so if roof u wanted to reduce heat n sound, stick a layer of dynamat extreme n another layer of dynaliner... this is what craziechild mean, BTW sorry ya if i explain wrong dont flame bro.

actually personally, this is just my personal thoughts la,
just get stp or dynamat stick 1 layer kaotim...
no need opt for so many layer de la... going for competition meh....
so many layer d car damn heavy wei...

Ohhh ok now I understand more. Yeah I was also concerned bout the added weight to the car if I put on too many layers on certain areas. I am seriously noob in this field so your guidance is highy appreciated cheers.gif
