RAAMmat soundproofing install thread
My RAAMmat soundproofing stuff showed up today. I ordered it on April 30th, so it came pretty quickly. Kudos to Ray and crew for fast shipment.
I ordered enough to do a "small car going all out" as stated on the raammat site, which is 2 rolls of mat, 6 yards of foam, and 3 cans of adhesive (see pic). For anyone interested, the shipping weight of all of it was 57 lbs, so I will be adding at most 57 lbs to the car.
I'm planning on doing the full install over Memorial Day weekend. I'll be gutting the interior and doing the doors, floor, roof, trunk, and however much of the firewall I can reach. I've never taken out an entire interior before, wish me luck!
I will be doing a guide with pics for anyone interested in soundproofing their WRX. I'll post that up after the install is done. I'm thinking of doing a word doc or pdf for the guide so that the pictures don't disappear in a couple of years.
I'd really like to do some sort of before and after measurement of sound levels inside the car under various conditions. Anyone have a good (cheap) way of doing this? I don't want to buy any equipment, but I'd like to get some quantitative data on it.
