raamat help

[tezin87 0]

I'm ordering a roll of raamat to do the doors, back wall, and floor of my truck if there is any left. Is ensolite necessary or will I still get good results if I only use the mat?

You'll get good results from mass loading the panels, but ensolite will help kill reflection and dampen overall surface noise.

I only ordered the roll of BXT, oh well. If I feel I need more I can order the ensolite later down the road. I accidently ordered the adhesive too and Rick sent me an email saying I don't need the spray for the mat, what a good guy! So hopefully he doesn't still charge me, hahaha. I think one roll should be enough for the doors which aren't very big, and the back of the cab.

I'm using 4 rolls in my expedition, and now I wish I hade ordered more, as I'm not done but getting lower than I expected. I also think ensolite is great I have only completed the cargo area and roof, but it's really nice an sold sounding now. Doors are noisey but I only BTXed the driverside and still haven't ensolited it.

I think you will be really happy though.

This is great to hear. But being a poor college student on a budget, I'm hoping one roll will be enough. I know this question is vehicle dependent but is skipping on deadening the floor going to be a huge deal? Or should I make the floor/doors my first priority, and whatever I have left go to the back of the cab? I think the back of the cab will take up less than one door would, so roughly 10-15 sq. ft.

bump, i'm getting ready to run some wires right now and I don't want to have to re-run them when the raam gets here. should I focus on deadening the door/back of cab the most or doors/floor the most?

Nevermind, I answered my own question. Might as well get the floor first since I'm going to have the seats and carpet out anyways for when I run the new wire. It'll be easier to get at the back wall later on than it would be to get at the floor.

If I had 1 roll to use. I would use as much as I could on the doors then put the rest elsewhere. Since the doors are where your midbass speaker are it would seem most important to me, but thats just my opinion

The most noticeable areas to deaden are the front firewall/floor area and front doors.
