How to improve car audio and hifi
Quick and simple! The parts that you need to soundproof with sound deadener are all the parts where loudspeakers or subwoofers are mounted or place at. Remove all panelling and upholstery from doors and side panels. Clean all bodywork very thoroughly. Loudspeakers are mostly mounted in the doors and side panels. Insulate and soundproof the inside of the doors and the frames, on which the upholstery is attached, and also the inside of the door.

To insulate a subwoofer in the boot is recommend to dampen the floor with Vibraflex Extreme bitumen damping sheets. If you experience vibrations from the sub, you best place the subwoofer on Regufoam Pads, these pads reduce vibrations to the car and improves the car hifi experience in general.

How use Vibraflex sound deadener
Warm the Vibraflex sheets up to just above room temperature, this makes the product supple and easy to apply. It's important to avoid air bubbles between the Vibraflex sheets and the surface. Anti-drumming works on the principle that it holds the surface, this insulates vibrations, and thus the gong effect. Air bubbles can also cause rust. With our pressure roller you can avoid this.
