Installing Stinger sound deadener

[B E N]

You really only need 25% coverage on the deadener. Use the rest of the budget for decoupled MLV, dedicated heat insulation or hydrophobic melamine... you will get a lot more out of it.

Yep I looked at various options, did use the butyl rope in the doors, and did consider the MLV and HMF. This page has some really good info and resources if you go that route:

MLV - Had to look that one up. but it was helpful to read this site.

Thanks, ether method has to be better than stock. I will work on this from both aspects.

Just did my rear back wall. It's definitely a tedious job. Will test drive it today. I wish I had used a dB meter to measure difference.
The sad part is that it took me 30 mins to figure out how to pull out my rear seat back. I was looking for a latch and a release cable, while all along it just a hook that slides into a slot.

Heads up, if you want it to be way easier to fold those back seats get the Built Right Industries rear seat releases. It beats trying to dig back in there to release them.

Just finished my doors yesterday. Geared more towards stereo vibration than road noise so I have a good bit of sound deadening. I did about 80% on the interior door, blocking plates on the exterior hole and then full exterior door. The plate and exterior were from https://soundsgoodstereo.com and Sound Skinz but the interior was from Down for Sound. Installed new mids in the rear with new adaptor plates. I'll get to the rear wall eventually....gotta finish this build first.

The rear seat of the scab doesn't have the folding rear seat like the screw so we don't have the cool release pull cable things, all we can do is sand down the plastic clip a little bit to make it easier to disengage from the floor bracket

Ah ok, I didn't know the scab had a different bracket setup. I just know without those cable pull things it sucks to fold the screw seats.
