Default dynamat

anyone here ever dynamat-ed a supercrew?

Im wondering how much just doing doors would cut road noise, make truck a little quieter at highway speeds?

I certainly dont want to do whole cab.

I used peal and seal on mine (doors only) and did not notice much difference overall. The doors have a little more solid sound when closing, but sound wise overall, nothing really different.

I used quick roof on my Ranger, and I thought it did quite a bit to help in several areas like sound of the speakers, less road noise, and the door felt more solid. I plan on doing the same to my F150.... just been lazy.



EDIT: This is what I used, but I got it at Home Depot. If you read the Amazon comments, most are about people using it as a Dynamat alternative, lol.

Peel and seal is $17 for 12.5 sq ft at Lowes ($1.36 sq ft), and they also have a thing called tite seal For $10 for 10.9 sq ft ($0.92/sq ft), but is thinner than peal and seal.
I used the tite seal on 1 door (the one in the pic above is the tite seal one), peel and seal on the others to see which was better. The tite seal is easier to work with since it is thinner, but no sound difference.
I also used the peel and seal on the floor of my wife's scion. This did help with road noise in that.


For big flat spaces, I would use peel and seal, for smaller areas or curves, tite seal is much easier to work with. With tite seal being cheaper though, it may be better to do 2 layers of that instead of 1 of peel and seal?
If I ever take my headliner down for anything, I will use some stuff on it (I have 1 roll left, not sure which one it is), I know I get a lot of noise from the roof.

Yes the best place to put it is on the outer door skin but it's usually tricky to get that area covered so you cram it in there however you can and then cover the inner panel too

The pic shows 2 strips, but I added one more long one with a few smaller ones where I could reach. As said, it is a pain to get it on the outer skin.
Same for the front door, I think I have 2 long strips on the outer skin.

I understand the outer is harder, but thats where all the benefit is suposed to be. Nothing wrong with sticking dozens of smaller pieces on there I don't think?

go ahead and stick your hand in there, then come back and report lol. Yes theoretically smaller strips are fine but it's a moot point since you can't really get your hand in the door

Edit* looking at his picture yes you can probably get more in there but it won't be covering much more

Blupupher: Wondering how long ago you did this, and how its holding up. Some people say it will fall from vertical surfaces over time and with heat.

Thanks .
