wah... soundproofing whole car... wat material u using? Dynamat? if so.. ur car weight is like carrying 1 person in ur car all the time~ hahaha~

hmmm.. the material i used is for poor people like me....
instead of using dynamat.. i used bitumen strip sold in hardware shops.. normally to repair roof one.. tat will actually reduce the vibration ...
1 roll of bitumen strip is around 1+kg... so far.. i have used up 6-7 rolls..
for add on.. i used superlon/insulflex to absorb noise.. if u r a serious about in car entertainment (ICE)... if u installed superlon at the rear boot where u keep ur sub.. it may also absorb the sound from the sub.. thus, abit boom boom loss...
other than that.. errm.. nothing much kua... i can say it is more satisfying DIY, when the result is felt (or heard)... d**n stim one..

wah.....DIY ah..then how long it tooks you to installed into your car? what type of glue you use to stick it on your car? I heard that if the glue react with your paint later on, it will spoil your paint and the surface.

Please do share it out.

yes, bhorng .. you have to specifically use Dunlop CA glue.. else the glue will rust the metal like typical proton disease...
basically, i DIY one at a time.. not rushing my jobs but rather when i am free.. done all within a few months.. cos soundproofing jobs will take half a day easily...

Another way of sound proofing... wear a MP3 player... blast it loud loud in your ear.. then u will hear a single thing except for the songs! hehehehe... cost less than RM100 for any cheap china brand.

Aircraft, I would recommend to go to workshops (I don't know any) to do it. I mean, DIY is good, but you may also risk damaging the car unnecessary. Think before you do.
If u modify bicycle I understand lar...

but with a car, very expensive to get a 2nd hand one if u spoils it.
