The BEST and CHEAPEST Way To Sound Deaden Your Car!! 

Hey everyone! Here is a link to pick up a box of Kilmat! amzn.to/3O55Xv7

Be careful about applying kilmat to the inside bottom of the door. There are drain holes for the water that gets between the glass and the rubber gasket. If you block one, there will be water accumulation and RUST.

Hey bro I like how you and your wife works together that’s how me and my wife is you need to do more video’s with her so people can see how married couples should be loved the video bro 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾✌🏽

I just did my Subaru Forester tailgate. 2.5 sheets, "ting" is now a "tung". Tips : put the sheets out in the sun, and allow them to heat up as you are prepping the doors (this makes adhering and forming the mats much easier), and second, double-fold a peice of aluminum foil, and use it as a moldable template, to form to a 3D shape, then lay flat on the matting, to get your cut shapes. 👍

I can honestly say that Kelly did a pretty outstanding job in applying the sound deadening. Her work looked a lot better than jobs I've done when applying on my own vehicles over the years.

Love the videos, feed back on the work done and that team work is great!

Thumbs up for husband and wife team.

I did my box with the KilMat and was super happy. I stripped the interior and did the floor boards as well. I used about a box and a half of the 50 mil. To me it made a huge difference as I upgraded the stereo at the same time.

Have done half our car with my partner (tho with tons more arguing). Front doors being done tomorrow. I’m really enjoying it and if the speakers sounds 10% better I’ll be happy. Great vid

Thank you for sharing guys! I have a Honda Fit and the road noise & vibrations are crazy! Hard to have conversations LOL! Purchasing Michelin tires minimized the noise a bit but I want it to be less noisy. I will attempt to do this myself. God bless you both!! =))

Great job. Did mine a few years ago and it made a big difference. I did have to go back in and add a strip over the plastic cups that the door lock pulls sit in because those things will rattle. For next week, If you install one of the small squarish cameras, I mounted mine using a screw for the license plate lights and ran the wiring through the factory harness. One word of advice, if you can, run the camera with steady power source and not the backup light power like they suggest. There is a delay in the camera coming on and I am usually almost done backing up before it finally comes on. I plan on changing that in the near future. Great job and great videos as usual.

Recommend material like that on inside for sure. I use thin padded weather stripping for my license plates. Keeps it from flexing or vibrating against the body. Running a heat gun or hair dryer over the sealer that the inner plastic liner and it allows you to re-use it providing you store it without sticking it to something on the side.

Need to go over it with foam deadening from sound skins or something similar. Need to do flor and roof as well.Road noise will go down tremendously.

I'm so glad you had Kelly work with you. It shows women can do this job just as easily as a guy.

Great video!! I hope you realize how blessed you are to have your wife going hands on and working with you side by side. Great job you guys.

You only did a small portion of that big ole rig. The roof and floor, when done, will cut noise! She is *really* good at that.

That was cool! I bet it made a big difference with road noise. Very cool.

Nice job - another thing added to my toaster list for the summer! Isn’t it funny how our partners always seem to do a better job on our toaster than we expect them to? She killed her side!! But somebody had to hold the camera, right? LOL

The biggest on road noise is to pull seats and carpet clean the flooring and put the mat down you’ll be so impressed with that

I just discovered your channel about a day ago and have found so much great advice, tips and just great XB content. I've been looking for your latest content but no luck....

I used a construction product called peel and stick, or maybe stick n peel, but at any rate it was a tar based roofing repair material that was self adhesive with a backing strip. It was cheap because it was not intended for car sound deadening, but to patch roofs or ducts etc. It came in rolls a foot wide, and other widths I think. It wasn't like a Matt material, I used it more for weight, to deaden the tinny sound of doors, trunks, etc. Any lightweight area that tended to sound tinny or buz this stuff would deaden. It might be more effective to use sound INSULATING materials in other parts of the car, like the floor, if that is an issue, but this was all I needed, because my car aready had good factory deadening in the floor. I just needed to put some ballast on some of those big panels. And this stuff was CHEAP. I got it at Home Depot years ago. Now the downside is that your car will smell like a roof job for a few days, but it goes away. The material gets hard and dries out, at least at the surface level. Plus I had my doors sealed with plastic anyway so it wouldn't have mattered even if it did smell a bit. But I know it doesn't because I didn't close up my doors right away. It took a few summers days for the smell to subside., and then when I put on my panels, I forgot about it, so I guess it wasn't bad. But it did seem to be tar based. It was like flexible black tar rolls, but perhaps mixed with other stuff because it wasn't that nasty. Just an idea folks, Worked great for my car. The side that wasn't stuck I believe had a foil coating, so it kinda looked cool too.

Four screws will stop the tag from rattling. In the hatch cavity I would use an egg crate bed foam pad. I used egg crate foam in my Honda pilot in the body cavities that didn’t have moving parts (windows). I used a heavy acoustic mat on the door skins, then a thin mat on the door panels. Used heavy mat under the rear carpet and inside the body panels in the rear with the egg crate filling all the air space. The difference was night and day! The pilot had so much road noise it was nuts. I sound proofed it before a Disney trip and it was so much better. My wife loves it.

Happy new year toaster fam! Everyone be safe!

Thanks guys, loved the video, and hello from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👋😁

...snip snip, cool stuff man! I'm going to have to redo my hatch after I replace so I might as well go with this, I currently just have some sponge in there and some cork stick-ums behind the license plate, it works but could be better. I basically used the technique I use to quiet my drums. I would like place some of those underneath the carpet. Great video guys. Looking forward to next week's vid, only thing, you guys will be looking backwards with the rear camera, wouldn't you rather look forwards and out of crap 2020 and onto 2021! Tan tan tan, last corny joke of the year. Merry New Year's to you guys and all XDD nation!!

About to do this for my 1966 Cadillac Coupe de Ville, thanks for the upload!

Once again a great video. 👊 🤟

Hey thanks for the in depth info and tutorial, even if I had a different car it helped. And a huge thanks to your wife, she rocks at the application. May have to ask mine for help lol, I don't have gift wrapping skills either 😅!! Definitely buying kilmat to help my Mazda Hatch.

Wow, you both are so cool.. I put my system in my self, I have to dynomat my back hatch an doors. Thank you so much.. huge help...

ordered me some for my rear hatch thanks for review

Awesome job. Well done.

Ah nice, I was planning on grabbing some Kilmat as well.

That 1 piece was engineered by Scions engineers and took years of schooling to figure that out. 😂

you need to cover those maintenance holes/gaps in the doors with it too. creating a sealed enclouse for your speakers.

Nice work but you should seal the holes of the pannels, so they can work like a seal box for the speakers

Thanks for doing this experiment, my toaster just got hit this week :( I’m needing a new hatch. Before I install the new hatch I’m going to install these.

The 2nd box I owned I sprayed the whole back hatch full of great stuff foam. That door was SOLID!! 🤣

Nice. I’m about to do my Camaro with 80 mil killmat and I’m also doing the siless 157 mil closed cell foam on places like the doors that will really cut down on road noise. I want my stereo to sound amazing and to be able to feel the pressure change when I close my doors 😂

thank you sir for ur honesty

It is so nice that she was there doing the work with you.

You are so positive guys!)))))) And really cool video! May we ask for your permission to share it for our customers and tag you? Thank you in advance!)

I bought the siless brand and the 9 dollar roller. In total it was 74 dollars on Amazon. Came with 36 square feet, don't remember how big the sheets were but there was 18 sheets in the box. I completely covered every bit of the trunk in my Corolla, and I have 3 sheets left over. If you do it outside in the heat, the adhesive starts to melt and it's a real mess trying to get the backing paper off I got adhesive all over my hands.i cut it easily with a pair of scissors.

I have a 2011 scion xb bought it brand new still runs like a dream. I put on like 195k on it already. I think if you'd do the same for the roof and floor replace the door seals it would make a huge difference. But overall good job kelly!!!

Home Depot Waterproof Repair tape. Did my entire car under 100$

In combination to what you've done here if you had installed mass loaded vinyl it would have significantly reduced road noise.

that dynamat material is also a great insulator

I put my dynomat in the oven on 325 for about 10 minutes. That made it perfect to apply in roughly 75 degree weather 👍

I saw a Lexus on your drive way. You can open the door panel on your Lexus and compare with your xB. To improve speaker sound, I have double layered Killmat behind door speaker drivers on my Camry.

Good tip to follow is to clean the area of application with isopropyl alcohol or a degreasing agent to get rid of the dirt and grease which will allow for a better adhesion.

Back in the day I would use peel and seal from home Depot or Lowe's, I would laugh at people buying the same thing with a name on it for triple the price. Glad to see prices are reasonable now

Never would have thought of putting sound deadoning on a toaster oven!! 😂 😃 😄

Thanks for sharing your experience. How is the Kilmat material holding up since your installation? I am considering sound dampening underneath my carpet and back wall behind my back bench seat. It has been 3 + years since I learned and now finally stopped all water leaking in my truck [2005 GMC Sierra]. Nearly four years ago I thought I was dealing with only a falling headliner, but that was just a visible problem due to a unknown water leaking problem. I had to do a lot myself because no auto body shop would take the job! Every auto shop that just works through insurance SUCKS!!!! I took my truck to a auto glass shop and they said there is any water leaking in the truck! I found a great mechanic at a great auto service garage that takes on all jobs!

Use FROSTKING duct insulation in your doors from home depot. Civic guys figured this out. Dirt cheap, you can use a lot and it works for paper thin cheap doors. They also have Frost king foam to line your door. Do it

If i'm not mistaken. The thinner sound deadening works better against high frequencies and thats why bass traps are chonky vs PC sound deadening which is uber thin to combat coil while and fan noise. If i am correct it would explain the lack of siginifact difference as road/wind noise waves will pass right through that stuff. Also most of the road noise is probably coming from the floor.. my 2 cents anyway.

I have a question on my 2009 scion Xb on the driver I get like a whistling nose sounds like the window is like off track and wind is coming threw but it’s not because when I run it threw the car wash no water comes in. What do you think it can be does anyone have that problem?

Great job you 2!!! You make a terrific team! Really love your enthusiasm! You accidentally kept referring your installation as “Dynamatting”. Dynamat is a product & so is Kilmat. Noico, etc. You were applying sound deadening to your car. Or, since you’re using Kilmat (a very good product BTW), you’re Kilmatting the car. The really BIG difference in sound reduction will occur when you apply sound deadening to your car’s engine bulkhead, floor & wheel wells since that’s by far where the vast majority of the car’s engine, exhaust & road noise comes from. Have fun!!!

Covering the entire license plate with the Kilmat is overkill. Need only 25% coverage. Closed cell foam would also work and it adds no weight. Bolting in the plate on four corners and filling the gap between the plate and the bodywork will prevent it from vibrating. Save the added weight for the body panels. Very clean job with cutting and placing the mats. Impressive.

If you want to see the most improvements in sound deadening you need to take out the seats and do the floor and head liner you will see the most improvement the doors do a little helps with vibration from the speakers

I got that same stuff in mine and love it. The hatch definitely has solid feel when it shuts. 2 quick things, you covered an access hole for the hatch handle when doing the hatch(you'll see when you do the camera) and I took off the taillights access panel oeices and was able to put sound deadening on the rear quarter panels that way. Love the video, can't wait to see how the camera turns out. I like mine, alot. Helps out so much since the windows are tinted heavly on mine.

I'm about to do this to my 2012 Honda Civic LX. It's a base model Civic and has alot of hard plastic and barely any insulation under the panels so I hope this will make the vehicle a little more quiet.

Beautiful video :) road noise comes from the floor and wheel arches and fire wall mostly.

What tool did you use to remove the back panel?

Great idea!!! How many square feet did you both actually have to use so I know how much to order. Mahalo!

Wait!? Are you doing the floors? I ordered the same kit

Mean bro nice video watching from nz

spandex pants are a must for installations!

Good video, just keep in mind the bottoms of your doors at the shell seam, have slits or holes for water to drain as some water always gets inside the door when it rains or the carwash. Do not cover those. Starting on my car this week!

About to start that soon. She’s hired 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Don't know how I didn't find your channel sooner

You need to Killmat over those big holes in the door. Put some foam on the doorcards and in the door. The speaker will sound mutch better.

How is the Miata? Also, I would be really excited to see a new build series

My Kelly helps me work on my vehicle also. 👍🏾to all kelly’s

I don't think "adhesing" is a word, but you did a good job.

Have you done a temp gauge i want to add one on mine because I don't like not knowing if it's running hot or not.

She is fire 🔥 I wish my girl was active like that let's get it💯

I broke both tabs on each of the door handles as it seems impossible not to. They are solid when you put the panel back on though.

$50 is a great deal. Can't wait for the rear camera, literally waiting till see you do it so I can Install mine 😅

soundproofing a car with huge pipe catback exhaust and roof rack :D it will probably improve audio quality a bit, but it's still annoying to drive it on a longer distances ;)

Just curious, I noticed that you guys didnt remove the black rubber sealant from the plastic cover inside the doors. Is it necessary to even remove them or not really? Thanks for your help!

Your wife is so cute. She made the video. Lucky man!

Did you install on the Prelude?

You only need to cover 1/3 of the surface area to elimate vibration frequency.

Would there be any benefit to do underneath the carpeting? Or would the effort not be worthwhile?

does it smell? reading amazon reviews and worried summer temperatures will create unpleasant scents fume on the interior

If you want to reduce road noise you have to pull the carpet up and do the floor

Can i use it on the top of the car dashboard?

Spray the wheel 🛞 wells with Second Skin spray on deadener and hit the top side of the liners

Should of covered the holes on the hatch back. Also stuff if with rockwool insulation. As well and sound dead we on the inside of the plastic panels with adhesive felt on the contact corners.

Heaven workiing on your ride with the missus. I was convinced the red toyota was going to rear end you. I couildn't look.

You removed the plastic weather proofing sheet and didn’t put it back? Did I see it correctly? Is it wise?

I did the whole interior of my Silverado and I swear it’s quieter but I think it is a placebo effect. Lol

It's sound dampening, not "dynamatting". 🤪 But kudos on doing the improvements. Tire noise can be a factor, as well. Which is why I do not need, nor want a mud tire on my Jeep. Though the AT's do make a bit of noise more than a city/highway tire.

Would the 50mil been any easier?

how much weight does it add?

Was this all from the same box? Sorry for the late question

Does anyone know why they didn’t get a super dampened sound during their drive? They mentioned the road noise hadn’t really changed. What could I do to change the road nice especially during highway drives?

will it come off in the cold?

#1 what you have is not Dynamat. #2 Kelly is hot!!!

#TOASTAATOOSDAYY‼️💪🏼😎 Looks like I need to find a gf first before I do this mod 😂 extra hands looks very helpful lol Bless up guys 🙏🏼
