Right i've got a shed load of sound deadedning from the roadkill GB & am just looking 4 tips on best way 2 attach it mainly in the boot. My main query is like on the boot lid where it's sorta in squares & lines is it best 2 cut the sound deadening to the various different shapes & then stick extra bits so it's totally covered or just try & stick an entire pad on & shove it into the dip & troughs etc which wood strike me as being less than flat perfick finish Just wondered wot techniques u fine experianced peaps had used?
Any cunning plans 4 doing & or getting to side panels above rear wheel etc & hell any other tips wood b gr8fully received
Just wanted 2 do as much as possible b4 gettin all da goodies fitted next Saturday & thus remove need 2 have2 get sub etc out again just 2 stick sum deadening in, although also which bit wood i need 2 leave bear in order 4 'em 2 get all da wiring or wothave u thru?

PS just about last question (can but hope)

In my experience, you don't need to fully cover a panel to deaden it - for the boot lid, I put bits in between the criss-cross thingies...

Not played with boots, but in doors I have always fitted it to the flat bits only - i.e between the cross braces in this case. My theory is that the bits which have pre-formed creases, welds etc aren't going to flex about and resonate like a flat panel anyway, so put the sound deadening where it makes the most difference.

Admittedly I sometimes go to excess, and cover everything I can see that is flat.

I'd prolly just go for the flat bits too

I'd also recomend heating the pad up with a hot air gun, it makes it stick better and also makes it more flexible.

Doing the roof made the biggest difference to my Fiesta btw

Roof should be a seriously good place to stick the stuff - biggest unsupported sheet of metal in the car! But a big enough £"$%&£%&£" to get at that I haven't bothered even trying... waiting for someone else to try first . Easier & more effective to just change the exhaust manifold . Has some good side effects as well
