    Doing a complete sound system upgrade. How much material do I need so things don't rattle and to keep exterior sounds coming in? I want to do all four doors and the back wall. I know I need need two different kinds of material to achieve what I want. Mainly concerned with how many square feet to buy of each.

    Edited: I've got a 2019 TRD OR 4 door

    Buy a Lexus. A truck is obviously not your vehicle.

    Most vendors will have packages with coverage recommendations.

    18 sq feet do the doors inside and out, I dont have a number yet for the floor, but the back wall took 4 sheets or noico (each sheet is 2sq feet) for the wall up to the underseat storage bins




    Why do people say this? Adding sound deadener makes the truck better while retaining everything about being a truck.

    Exactly... $40-50 bucks for a small creature comfort for good sound. I just did the doors and people piss that off for a gas can here.

    I dont have any of the back wall, but this is what I have for when I did the doors. I didnt really get many pictures because its pretty boring.

    I'm currently doing mine but I'm apprehensive about removing the plastic sheet. Am I being crazy, should I just peel it off?

    Its easy to pull off and put back on if you want to. I left mine off, there are foam plugs that cover the big holes anyways.

    Around the speaker and behind. No pic but did the entire flat space inside the door about half way up both front and rear with one $35 box. That foam is Stinger Road Kill kit.

    I also did parts of the door panel itself, I put strips on any place there is a plastic weld, I also put some around the speaker area of the panel to prevent the panel from vibrating too much.

    Maybe this helps. It's info from second skin audio.

    The approximate sqft of your Tacoma is as follows:
    Floor 35-40 sqft
    Doors are a total of 24-28 sqft
    Back Wall 12-15 sqft
    Ceiling 25-30 sqft

    The advice I received was to also get some material on the crash bars inside the doors, as they resonate a lot. I've done my doors, and floor and back panel. Headliner is next.

    EDIT: Mine. 2019 SR5 DCLB

    What does the foam do around the speaker?

    It will absorb some of that back wave and direct the bass forward. Helps the sound not disperse outward so much. Is anyone dying for not having it... no. Ever little bit helps IMO
