Performance and Comfort: Soundproofing my 2022 BRZ Cabin! 🔊

We installed some Sound Skins Sound Deadening to help reduce road noise and any exhaust resonance from getting into the cabin. It took some time to tear down Sylvie, but its definitely worth it! From installing the Rockford Fosgate Power Speakers to the Sound deadening, I definitely noticed the music quality difference and overall interior noise levels decrease!
Everything I used is down below:
(Doors) Rockford Fosgate Power 6.5": amzn.to/3mu9Qhq
(Rears) Rockford Fosgate Punch 4" : amzn.to/3mfMqwb
(Dash) Rockford Fosgate Punch 3-1/2" : amzn.to/3Yn8MJx
(Exact One Used) SoundSkins Roll: amzn.to/3L5H0y6

That's the most beautiful BRZ I've seen so far. Nice work

[@Catalyst4k]

Appreciate it!

[@sontruong6373]

Great video. I learned a lot from your video. Great work! Thank you.

[@Catalyst4k]

You’re welcome. Glad I could help!

[@petetherealrelentless6542]

That’s some real effort put in there.. well done!

[@Catalyst4k]

Thanks, I wanted to make sure I was detailed!

[@petetherealrelentless6542]

@@Catalyst4k did you do any before and after in-cab decibel readings?

[@Playboyer670]

Glad to see a Rockford fan. Been running RF in all my vehicles. Currently running RF 1500-1bdcp amp powering a single RF Power T1 10" sub in my GR86. Supposed to run RF speakers but went with OEM Audio + for speakers and Beat-Sonic amp. They don't disappoint.

[@Catalyst4k]

Absolutely! I've been a Rockford fan since I first heard them. You have a mighty nice setup in yours! I bet it really thumps. OEM Audio + is a great choice for the quality and ease of installation. How do you like the Beat-Sonic Amp? I saw it when I was looking for amps but was unsure about the output since the brand was new to me.

[@Playboyer670]

@@Catalyst4k it's great. The speakers play much louder and remains clear. I highly recommend it.

[@felipemonsalve755]

😮 So awesome🙌

[@Catalyst4k]

Thanks!

[@GP-fc7jv]

I did the same for the sound deadener but only from the back seats and doors

[@Bryfye]

Sick video, i know that sound deadening took some time 😭😭

[@Catalyst4k]

1000000%

[@On2thakneppz1]

Thanks a ton for posting this! Going to do this to my 23’ in the near future! Car’s looking great! Can you share impressions on the highway/where it has made a noticeable difference? Anything you’d do differently?

[@Catalyst4k]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching. It definitely helps on the highway. You definitely hear less road noise. I wouldn't necessarily do anything differently.

[@chacaron03]

This is my daily driver. I'm gonna be driving with just one seat and no carpet/headliner for at least 2 days 😂.

[@Catalyst4k]

100% I can't blame you. It took me at least 3 days of driving with a gutted BRZ.

[@garage8614]

Hey bro how did you connect the dash speakers ? Did you get a harness adapter or did you remove the stock harness to the new speakers but I give you props that’s a big job on the sound deadening great job bro

[@garage8614]

Btw You got your self a new subscriber

[@Catalyst4k]

Great question: I used the harness from the stock speakers and soldered them to the new speaker terminals. It took a while but definitely happy that I did it. Thanks for the sub!

[@garage8614]

@@Catalyst4k thanks for the info bro I had a feeling you used the stock one I couldn’t find a adapter harness will be doing it to mines soon keep up the great work bro 🤙🏼

[@Catalyst4k]

Absolutely will! If you plan on doing the full sound deadening, I wish you luck and patience :)

[@PBrooksSawyer]

How much weight did you add to the car? Been considering this. Crazy spec man! Very similar to mine altho I have the gr. Get a carbon ducktail!

[@Catalyst4k]

I would say no more then 60 pounds. Definitely worth it in my opinion. I've been contemplating a carbon wing or a carbon ducktail. :)

[@AngrySkipperGC]

I bought a '24 BRZ which should arrive in May. The idea of ripping out my entire interior to the same extent you did seems wild. What was it like after the sound deadening was installed?

[@Catalyst4k]

Congrats! I'm sure you will love it. The sound deadening did help a bit. Not Audi or Lexus level but it did help.

[@rickogas5199]

When you have the passenger seat up, the video cuts to the driver seat and you remove those connectors which are different. The passenger side isn't shown again. How did you get the grey connector on passenger side to release?

[@mrael6304]

Fantastic how to video.Can you give an estimate on how much square footage of sound deadening you used?

[@Catalyst4k]

Thanks! Check the link in the description, it contains the exact roll I used. Should be all you need

[@mrael6304]

I finished installing sound deadening this last weekend. The road noise is less noticeable. Thank you for showing us how.

[@nate3231]

Damn the headliner too? lol this makes me wanna get a gr86… I just hate how heavy cars are now but instead of waiting 10 years to be able to afford a used cayman I could do this… the noise is the only reason I don’t have one just way too much for a new car imo

[@Catalyst4k]

Thanks for watching, Nate. The BRZ platform is definitely worth it. 100% recommend.

[@mathewg1747]

how much did you spend on the rolls? or how many rolls did you get?

[@Catalyst4k]

Thanks for watching. I spent around $450 on one 64 SQ FT Roll. I used this exact one: amzn.to/3L5H0y6

[@gabrielmarin4593]

How much material did you have to use?

[@Catalyst4k]

(64.5 Sq. Ft.) amzn.to/43EP139

[@andrewperry2569]

Did the deadening make a big difference?

[@Catalyst4k]

It’s not a Mercedes by any means however I did notice a difference. I noticed I didn’t hear my exhaust as much and the bass notes where better.

[@OMGlookitsJeremy]

@@Catalyst4k Can you have a conversation with someone at freeway speeds after sound deadening? I think that's the only thing I don't like about my BRZ....being able to talk to the passenger on the freeway. LOL.

[@Catalyst4k]

@@OMGlookitsJeremy I would say yes. Definitely can have a conversation.

[@keeboyyy]

No before and after?

I know :( I should have done it.

Thanks for sharing this However it's not for me, no thanks!! If I'm gonna do it i would probably only do the doors and the trunk, after all this car isn't about luxury and quitness, ive had several sports cars over the years, i knew what i was getting myself into.

[@Catalyst4k]

Fair enough, glad I could help!

[@Mr99Burns]

Nah I’ll pass. Car this low to the ground is meant to be louder thin layer of insulation won’t change that. Suspension design is the biggest reason Lexus drives like Lexus
