I'm thinkig about doing this too.. I just want to see how much the 60 Sq ft. covered. It seems like it was able to do the trunk, 2 layers on each door and the floor boards of the cabin?

 

It may help some, but you'll still have to change at least the headunit. The stock system sucks.

 

Well, that really wasn't the question.

You should plan out the doors a little bit to make sure you can run a wire for the tweeters. The wires for the woofer will come through the hole for the speaker, so you should be fine there.

i didn't run any wires under the carpet, but if you REALLY wanted to, this wouldn't prevent it. If you mount your amp, or sub, or both in the trunk, you will likely run the wire through the spare tire area, and as long as you don't get crazy with the sound deadenor you should be just fine. Also, keep in mind that you will go through the softtop area to get to the trunk by going through the "vented panel" behind the seats. From what I have seen, most people don't even deaden the area, but if you do, just plan ahead.

Basically, no, the deadenor will NOT prevent a future upgrade.

I will mention that if you go to all the trouble of gutting most of the interior, that really is the time to run all your wiring for your future system.




60' covered the floor of the cabin, 2 layers on the doors, two or three layers in the trunk. One layer over the gas tank, and spare tire area. The bottom side of the trunk and a few small misc places. Unless you are looking to line every surface with the stuff, a reasonable ammount to use for "most" people is 60'

 

Lee how hard was it to fabricate the cover for the convertible tray? I'd love to do that to mine, but have no clue how. Or better yet, want to help me make one??? I'm defintely going to do all this to my car. I'm all about making annoying noises go away. What did you use to apply it? a roller? Was it hard to apply on the doors? since there is a lot of plastic covering? Would this impede any repairs, if they needed to get inside the door panels? Say to replace a window...?

 

Thomas - the cover was easy to make - about an hour tops. If you need help making it, ill lend a hand. As for the doors - they really arent that hard to do either. Yes, the soundproofing does cover everything so it would impede repairs (the point is everything does need to be covered), but with a hairdryer and some pressure itll probably come off pretty easily.

 

I also just bought 60 sf of this stuff. It is pretty easy to apply. I've been using a cleaner/degreaser first, but no alcohol, which some recommend. So far, I have completed inside the door (outside sheet metal of car). The plan is to also use some lightweight 1/4" closed cell foam for sound blocking, as opposed to deadening. Edead sells it, but I've already got a big roll of adhesive neoprene for the job.

Our interior door panels have a big plastic 'cup' that fits into the big hole in the metal part of the door. Since I would like to just cover up the metal hole, can the plastic part be removed. What is it for anyways?

 

I'm not sure why honda put it there... but in my car it's there to hold the cross-overs haha.
