Grocery Getter :: 2006 Infiniti fx35 awd

I might have to try this as a new project or my FX.
the difficult part is disassembling and not breaking stuff. applying the deadening material gets tedious, just dont do gym for that same week :tongue (2):.

A job well done. Another mod to add to my list =)
with your skill set, it's a walk in the park, this should complete your FX since you had done the rear seats and trunk.

Great installation! Did you get a chance to drive around at all after you finished?
drove 7miles (no radio) and geezz it feels like a lexus and some.. got gas and kick-up the music for the next 7miles and the cabin feels entirely like a new car/sound system. volume was up to 55%, ran thru some POP/R&B/HipHop songs. Can wait to get the rear seats and trunk applied. Also looking forward on the DIY Bose subwoofer mod.
Got back to nyc roads, hitting potholes feels way better. At impact, the car seems softer. I no longer need to cringe going over potholes :smug:. Happy camper so far.
 
Wow, good to know your cabin feels new and sounds better. I will take my time and do this slowly over the next few weeks. Why did you chose B Quiet over Dynamat?
 
Cost of b-quiet is cheaper than dynamat and performance is very similar as I was told. Weight on b-quiet ultimate is also considered to be better than avg.

I had previous posted back on January, try using that coupon code:

ordered 100sq ft of B-QUIET Ultimate sound dampering material, also found a 10% coupon:

https://www.b-quiet.com
b-Quiet - 10% off discount - Special code 'ls1.com'

First roll got me thru 4 doors and still some remaining. Extra untouched 50sq ft roll sitting on the sideline, someone has an eye on it :vader:

I did TONS of research before installing the B-Quiet product and as far as I found it absolutely performs better than the equivalent Dynamat offering (extreme) in every way, most notably in the cost department.
 
Same here. BQ on doors, pillars, anywhere with bare metal. It's funny, I was watching some YouTube videos of sound proofing and some guys saved money by using similar product, but sold for roofing lol.
 
gotta be careful with roofing supplies, some can kind of work but they can also emit an odor that you may never get rid of. the only roofing supplies I would use in my own car would be sheets of lead, but this is really only for an all out competition car, not so much a daily driver. a sheet of lead, couple of mils thick, with a foam decoupling layer can really block a lot of sound, but too heavy to be practical for most daily drivers.

I used to do a lot of deadening and b-quiet has always been my #1 choice regardless of price, the fact that it's cheaper than dynamat is just a bonus, but even if they were priced the same I would still get this stuff from canada :)
 
Rear seat area completed, just puzzled it to together. Unsure if it even can make a difference.

pics, oem material covers most of the rear seats:

Nice! Bummer couldnt drop by tonight, but still eager for that b-quiet test ride :wink (2):
sure, whenever you are ready for a test drive or test ride.

Yes, please test ride and report back! :balanced:
i'll be paying him with gum, so he has to say nice things :smile (2):

That is dedication I don't think I can have that patience to do a project. Like that.
you can do it, just start by ordering the materials/tools and you'll be motiviated once u see it often on the floor each week, hehe.

Looks really good, nice and neat.
thanks, still some work left but mostly done
 
another week, another part deadened: tailgate and cover.

So how do you determine where to place the material? Just as many open spaces as possible?

are you speaking of just the tailgate or the entire project?

my short answer: trying to get the best deadening by applying where it's highly required, also trying to minimized the added weight.
 
I guess I was speaking I'm general. I guess this is one of those where every little bit helps. It's a cool project, but I feel if I did it to mine, then all the other little sounds that are typically drowned out would eat away at my brain. :)
