Not everyone has the balls to accept his mistake. This shows you are a genuine youtuber!!

Thank you :)

[@scgaming007]

This is indeed a very good and honest video which most people fail to tell

[@ArkaChoudhury]

I’m glad you liked it!

[@brahmeshtripathi4100]

Appreciate the honesty brother. But does the road bump sound that travels inside if damped on the car's floor reduce?

[@vivekanandapradhan9067]

Bhai, if you just close the door holes by a dampening sheet just like whats being done in tata nexon, you will see the difference, no need to do inner wall dampening, only cover the door cavities, thats all

[@ripn3x]

hello sir i have kia carens top line and bose speckers give door vibrations so i decided to damp my doors for vibration reduction is it worth cuz door switches vibrate a lot and some amount of rattling noise also come and i love bass that's why

[@explorer8741]

Very valuable information. Thanks for the video.

[@turborevv]

Very nicely explained 👍🏻

[@ArkaChoudhury]

Thanks bro!

[@krsajith22]

Fully agree with you. If you really nead it, you can do it if there is annoying vibration and you are not able to resolve it from service station.

[@ArkaChoudhury]

What you said is true. Thanks.

[@anirudhcarani735]

I disagree. OEM doesn't give speakers according to doors. There are many cars in which the door panels, power window switches rattle when you increase the volume. Damping helps avoid that rattling. Bose in Hyundai gives a separate subwoofer on the dashboard. That's why your doors may be fine. Not all brands/cars have that advantage. Damping on doors make huge difference if you don't have a sub woofer and trying to get bass only using door speakers. Which is a case in most of the cars. So please don't generalize. They'll get misguided.

[@maverick_vsb]

What you have mentioned is partly true about stock speakers not requiring sound damping. But, 1. I or any sound quality enthusiast will not agree that the company provided speakers sound good (even Bose, Harman, etc.). The company provided flimsy sub standard speakers even in top variants do not produce the original sound range we hear in songs as they are physically incapable of doing so. The so called branding of premium audio is a marketing gimmick or more like a placebo affect. 2. Damping in doors is necessary for Mid Bass not Bass (do not confuse between those two terms, they are under completely different frequency ranges). Also to hear a difference in after door damping there is no need for extremely priced speakers, you can hear difference with any speaker which has larger voice coils that are capable of reproducing mid bass. 3. Also what you have depicted about car vibrating sound is not a sound quality build. For a SQ build the bass needs to be very accurate, too much bass and vibration is what SQ builds avoid the most. 4. Reg companies doing R&D for sound quality. This is a COMPLETE JOKE. I agree companies do R&D to modulate the sound coming out of the cheap low spec speakers (even those in top variants like Bose or Harman) they provide with the car to sound at their best. But no amount of audio modulation can make up for the lack of physical features of those speakers (Did you even see the size of the magnets of the OEM Bose speakers, at best for their size they are like paper weights). Finally my advice to people is if you are sticking with stock speakers then door damping is not necessary for you as no amount of damping can help you if the speaker is not capable of reproducing mid-bass, even upgrading to Bose speakers is a complete waste of money. Also if you are thinking of upgrading to aftermarket speakers then do not expect them to sound good as the company modulates the sound signal coming out of the head unit to make the cheap speakers they provide sound at their best. You will need an audio processor (DSP) to correct the sound signal coming out of the stock HU so the full range of frequencies are fed to the after market speakers. FYI, I am no car accessory store owner or related to this field. I am an audiophile and I own a 2023 Seltos GTX+ (8 Bose speakers) and the very first thing I did on my car was replace the speakers (Although it took 2 months of research to decide on the setup). I have successfully build quality audio systems in my previous 3 cars as well (within budget), so I am saying this with experience. Also do not listen to words of Car Accessory Shop salespersons as most of them do not even have knowledge to make you car audio sound better. Take your time, do not rush. Do research online at car audio forums (www.diymobileaudio.com), Crutchfiled (website), CarAudioFabrication (YT channel) to understand how car audio can be upgraded to sound best for a given budget before taking any decisions.

[@ArtsbyDhairya]

Very well explained Brother

[@nithishsorock]

You are the only person who said what I have im my mind… cheers. Damping is hyped, it can compliment to a good speaker for an audiophile….

[@motivation-24X7]

Thank God You were here to explain all this properly about frequencies and sound dampening. Some people listen to songs while leaving their side windows open who don't have knowledge of sound insulation. Stock headunit or speakers don't cover all the frequencies always gonna miss out some notes💯

Bro I am having new GV and i wanted to place steg Leo 650 front and stock units of GV to back. Do I need to damp or use amp?I don't need both but I fear about vibrations, and other stuffs. Generally speaking I just upgraded from my 13yr old Swift desire. YOUR HELP MATTERS A LOT. PLZ PING ME SOON BRO I WANT TO HEAR YOUR OPINION AND SAVE MONEY.

किसने कहा था नयी गाड़ी मे कराने के लिए. ये उन गाड़ियों मे ज़्यादा उपयोगी होगा जो पुरानी हो चुकी है, कैबिन मे आवाज आ रही हो, ज़्यादा vibration महसूस हो रहा हो, मेरी 12 साल पुरानी i10 मे जब 50% आवाज़ मे गाना बजता है तभी दरवाजे खड़ खड़ करने लगते हैं. बाहर की आवाज बहुत ही ज़्यादा अंदर आती है. मेरे लिए ये अधिक उपयोगी होगा. आपके लिए अगर ये काम नहीं किया इसका मतलब यह नहीं है कि किसी के लिया काम नहीं करेगा

[@lokanathmishra6512]

very true!!

[@kumaranvv3555]

There are 4 types of insulation, sound , thermal, vibration, wind noise, one should use all the 4 types of insulation with different thickness in different areas of car to reduce the cabin noise. Just sticking same sound damping sheet to whole car is just waste of money and useless, sound damping is only for doors. I done my damping in RM Cardecors, Coimbatore, TamilNadu. They use Russian brand Dr.Artex

[@nithishsorock]

They are super over priced

[@user-xw6gr1dq2f]

Bro I have a doubt can you please solve it?

[@prashantgor]

Bose ke spekar muje lene hai but 2 model hai ek apka vala or ek creta vala jo 5800 hai to konsa sa sahi hai dono ke part num alag hai apka 5 inch hai ya 6 inch

[@ArkaChoudhury]

Meri wali 5 inchi hai

[@prashantgor]

@@ArkaChoudhury to sound output kaisi hai apke vale ka maine hyundai se order to kar diya but muje laga 6 inch hoga kyu ki creta vale to mahnge hai

[@ArkaChoudhury]

@@prashantgor 5 inch wali ki sound achhi hai but 6 inchi ki aur bhi better hai. Agar budget issue na ho then go for 6 inch

[@prashantgor]

@@ArkaChoudhury but front ke hai to 6inch ho hoge na box pe mantion nahi hai kuch b apne jo part num dikhya vahi

[@needhustle]

​@@ArkaChoudhurycan you also suggest if components speakers really needed over coaxial or its not necessary if you don't care sound staging?

[@ArkaChoudhury]

@@needhustle it totally depends on the preference of a person. If you ask me, I wouldn’t go for component speakers tbh.

[@needhustle]

@@ArkaChoudhury Okay and what coaxial do you suggest for smooth sound and good mid bass?

[@Knowledge_center21]

Damping is just used for absorption of some frequency noice ...

[@ArkaChoudhury]

Yes

[@arpit20one]

Misleading information....I have got Blaupunkt Gold sheet damping installed on my XUV7OO with stock speakers...huge improvement...and also road noise is almost reduced by 70%...I got single layer damping

[@gauravgandhi1925]

Did you do it on all 4 doors ?

[@lucid804]

kia seltos already has good cabin insulation so damping it won't make a big difference entry level cars on the other hand has big difference

[@outboxfpv4360]

True

I did door damping on the outer part of the doors of my Ford Freestyle with stock speakers and it did help in boosting the sound and bass. Your video it not factually correct. Maybe the intensity of sound effect will vary from car to car but it's not useless.

[@ArkaChoudhury]

Maybe it depends from car to car. You might be right.
