road noise

[cliffjumper]

meleagant8.. di pa ako naka setup, plano ko talaga sana kaya lang napurnada yung pera ko sa mmg.. ipon muna ulit ako. My main purpose in installing acoustifoam is to reduce road noise. pero i heard na mas gaganda ang output ng set up mo kapag naka acoustifoam. siguro mas rinig mo yung crispness ng sound dahil walang masyadong road noise na kalaban.

boss theveed.. your right. daming bad effects kapag mali tire pressure (either over or underinflated). road noise, bad fuel milage, bumpy ride etc.. kala ko nga dati sira yung shocks, yung pala overinflated lang yung tires ko..

[theveed]

reducing the noise floor of your car will increase your sound system's efficiency on transferring clear sound to your ears...

yun nga lang, bibigat ang kotse mo hehe

[boybitz]

using visual inpection, pag tama ang tire pressure, how much of your tire should be on the floor? Kunwari pag flat d ba halos buong diameter nya nasa sahig. e pag ok, mga ilang inches?

[theveed]

you can't visualize proper tire pressure... there's no way unless your eye is keen enough to see 1mm of lift or whatever... Just get a decent tire gauge...

hey gonna revitalize this thread!

Im planning on dynamatting my 2nd Gen CRV from what I've read. Only all four doors though cause I have no problem with engine noise.

I have set up my sound system and noticed that there is only this thin plastic on the doors with white goo. Do you think dynamat would make a big difference on just the four doors, or at least something noticeable?

anong itsura nung acoustifoam

[Blackbird]

does anyone have any feedback on the Goodyear Ducaro GA tires? they're supposed to be quiet daw...

wala na yata kasi nung Bridgestone Turanza GR-50 SS eh... or if ever, walang available sa size na kelangan ko 185/70/R13

sorry to resurrect this old thread. but the road noise is driving me crazy.

pls tell me if what im doing is right: planning to use flashband on the doors, in case i want to have good sounds later on. maybe only a layer or too. for the floors, acoutifoam.

another question: where do i buy acoustifoam? been too handyman in rob manila pero wala daw. same sa true value shang. or should i specify han gang brand?

thanks all for your inputs.

morrisey, nakabili ka ng flashbands? acoutifoams? san ka nakabili? ako rin, plan ko maglagay.. pero may nabasa ako na dapat hindi asphalt-based un mga ilalagay, kasi daw madali matunaw especially dito sa pinas na super init.. baka bumagsak, specially kung sa ceiling ilagay.. i need to confirm kung asphalt-based ba o hindi ang flashbands..

[simplicity]

asphalt based ang FlashBand. even the one i used - FlashingTape - is
asphalt based. pero hindi naman bumagsak or anuman. mas ok pa nga
daw siya kesa sa FlashBand kasi kelangan mo pang i blower or heat
gun yung FlashBand para dumikit. yung FlashingTape ni-roll ko lang using AA size na battery.
btw, kelangan mo lang linis ng mabuti at patuyuin yung didikitan mo.
what i did was clean the driver side door first then tinutukan ko ng
electric fan while i was cleaning the passenger side door. nung tuyo
na i let it stay for a while pa ra mas sigurado akong tuyo na.
