Treeri Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 The performance of the BOSE speakers installed in my 2007 Toyota RAV 4 was unsatisfactory. The BOSE speakers installed in my 2019 CX 5 GT Reserve exhibit exceptional audio quality, surpassing the performance of the bespoke speakers I previously had for my Maxima. I express my gratitude to MAZDA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doncaster34 Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 The BOSE system exhibits exceptional design qualities for MAZDA vehicles in the years 2018, 2019, and 2020. Unfortunately, the MAZDA vehicle in question lacks substantial soundproofing materials. One might perhaps enhance the BOSE sound experience significantly by implementing a weekend dedicated to the use of do-it-yourself sound deadening materials. Furthermore, it is important to note that the aforementioned action will not result in the nullification of any existing guarantee provided by MAZDA. I am sorry, but your text is incomplete. Could you please provide more information or context Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treeri Posted September 12, 2023 Author Share Posted September 12, 2023 In which location would you suggest placing a product such as DynaMator KillMat? The term "wheel wells" refers to the recessed areas in a vehicle's body structure that accommodate the wheels. The user inquires about the concepts of a firewall and a trunk. Is the selection of options mentioned above inclusive of all possibilities? I have performed this modification on the doors and trunk of a customized 1998 Nissan Maxima. In the past, I engaged in the activity of autocrossing. Provided assistance to a certain extent. The trunk lid had to be detached due to its excessive weight.

Doncaster34 Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 The recommended sequence for inspection and assessment of various vehicle components is as follows: doors, trunk (or hatch), full floor pan, roof below the headliner, under the hood, and finally the wheel wells (with priority given to the front wheel wells). The last step involves wrapping the exhaust system and thoroughly addressing the undercarriage. The additional weight would range from around 75 to 150 pounds. This would only have a marginal impact on 1/4 mile timings, resulting in a decrease of around 1-2/10. The lateral acceleration experienced by your vehicle may be around 0.7 Gs. Regarding the advice of which material to use... I have extensively used and examined a wide range of soundproofing materials, and I have found that FAT MAT has superior adhesive properties compared to other options, including Dyno mat. It is well acknowledged that individuals own unique particular preferences. After thoroughly examining a multitude of tests and top 10 evaluations, I consistently find that my preferred pick consistently yields the most favorable outcomes for my specific needs.

Treeri Posted September 12, 2023 Author Share Posted September 12, 2023 Photographs were seen on an online forum dedicated to the Prius v model, depicting a scenario in which the proprietor had extensively applied DynaMat insulation material to the inside surfaces of their Prius v wagon. According to his statement, the additional weight was less than 50 pounds. The removal of the seats, carpets, and roof liner was undertaken. The roof, trunk, all four wheel wells, and the doors were equipped with lining. The individual has a strong interest in high-quality audio and sought the services of a specialized establishment to get the task completed. The total expenditure amounted to $2,000, with the majority of the costs attributed to labor expenses. The individual has previously undertaken the installation of their own head unit and speakers. The CX 5 GT Reserve is equipped with laminated front side windows, which effectively reduce external noise levels. Additionally, the use of a turbocharger serves to mitigate exhaust noise, a characteristic often seen across many turbocharged systems. The noise produced by the turbocharger during the process of spooling up seems to be dampened by the presence of firewall insulation and heat baffles. In recent years, MAZDA has made significant improvements in mitigating noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) in its cars. QUESTION: Does the sheet metal enclosure on the "cold" side of the turbo primarily serve as a heat shield? Regrettably, the limited space on the "hot" side precludes the installation of a thermal turbo blanket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doncaster34 Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 I am disinclined to engage in a debate based on second-hand information obtained from a member's report of the payment made to a store for the completion of a task, as discussed on another online forum. The user's text "LOL" can be rewritten as "The user expressed amusement through I completed the aforementioned task during the previous calendar year, and afterwards conducted a Certified weighing procedure on my Mazda vehicle. The user's text "LOL" can be rewritten as "The user expressed amusement or The use of basic mathematical principles is evident when using minimal coverage, utilizing the thinnest material available, and refraining from overlapping or duplicating areas that generate excessive noise. I am certain that allocating sufficient time, effort, and financial resources will provide favorable outcomes in terms of mitigating road and ambient noise levels. The user expresses amusement through the acronym "LOL." The weight of the product and fundamental coverage information may be seen on reputable providers of sound deadening material, such as Fat Mat. Remove the door panels and proceed to visually inspect the inside components. Alternatively, one may do a physical examination of their MAZDA vehicle by walking around it and gently tapping on the panels with their knuckle, while attentively listening for any audible indications. Mazda is often regarded as one of the least proficient automobile manufacturers when it comes to using noise-reducing materials in the majority of their vehicle models. It seems that you possess a strong desire to enhance your MAZDA vehicle and possess a certain level of do-it-yourself abilities. However, I find it perplexing that you seek assistance and guidance, only to engage in arguments and debates with a few individuals who possess knowledge in this domain, and who are attempting to provide you with advice to facilitate better decision-making on modifications, parts, and processes. The user expressed amusement through the acronym "LOL." I acknowledge your inclination to see your GT as distinct; yet, it is essential to note that there exists enough potential for enhancements.

Treeri Posted September 12, 2023 Author Share Posted September 12, 2023 I just conveyed the statements made by the owner of the Prius v vehicle. It is probable that the weight in question exceeded the value that he had first disclosed. It was evident that the application of a full trunk lid covering on my 1998 Nissan Maxima exceeded its capacity to remain in an elevated position, necessitating the removal of a portion of the covering material. The weight of the material is inherently substantial. Indeed, it is evident that there exists potential for enhancing the noise component of noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) in my CX 5 GT Reserve. Once I have assessed the level of ease or difficulty involved in accessing the front floor, particularly the front wheel wells and firewall, I may proceed with the task. However, I will begin by focusing on doors since it is a more convenient spot to apply DynaMat. This will be done after the temperatures in the Las Vegas valley drop below 90°F.

Doncaster34 Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 It is advisable to install the material on days with warmer to hot temperatures. The material exhibits enhanced ease of manipulation and adaptability to conform to irregular shapes. The front fender wells provide a significant issue. It is important to acknowledge that the panels of sedans are composed of plastic material, necessitating the use of additional fasteners to enhance their structural strength. If the CS Catch Can had been fitted, it would have provided the opportunity to see the appearance under the wheel liner. Apologies for the obstruction caused by the flash, which obscured the measurement of square footage (SF). The mentioned SF pertains to the additional FAT MAT being used for my independent hood project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
