Description
Miata doors aren't big relative to most car doors, but they're still big expanses of mostly flat sheet metal, which makes them very prone to resonance and rattling - knock on the outside metal and take note of how loud and rattly it is. This kit, like our sound damping kit, uses pre-cut pieces of DEI's Boom Mat sound damping material to absorb those vibrations and quiet down your interior. They also make a big difference to how good your music sounds (since your speakers won't rattle the doors anymore), and give a solid "thunk" when you close the door, as opposed to the normal rattle. Easy install, just remove the door panel and the plastic sheet behind it (watch that black goo, it gets on everything), firmly press the pieces into place, re-assemble, and enjoy your quieter car. Includes enough pieces for both doors (one kit = one car).
This kit is designed for the NA and NB, but will work for the NC and ND as well with a little trimming (it's not too bad to cut with a razor blade or good scissors).
Boom Mat is a premium quality sound damping material that keeps interior panels from vibrating and generating noise by trapping that noise between an asphalt-free butyl lower layer and a 40 mil (.004" / .1mm) thick aluminum top skin (.080" / 2mm thick in total). Since Boom Mat doesn't need to cover the entire area to do its job, you spend less money and add less weight to get the job done.
While this kit doesn't make a huge difference to the decibel measurement, it's in the right range, and keeps the metal panels from acting as transducers. Which makes the car much more livable an improves the sound of the stereo.

This is a 2022 RF, so there's no information available that I could find about how to put them on. I knew how to get the card off the door. I'd not remembered that the plastic sheet held on by tar has been replaced with a plastic bolt-on part, that was a pleasant surprise - that tar is nasty.
The inside of the door is quite different from what's shown in the instructions, so I spent quite a bit of time on the first door figuring out where to put the pieces, and how to get them there. I ended up putting them where they would fit and where I could reach. The image attached shows approximately where I put them, with the blue overlays. Note the word "approximately"! While the left door took a bit over an hour, with problem-solving, etc., the right door took maybe 20 minutes. If you do this on an ND you'll likely spend a bit of time figuring it out, too.
I took it for a test to 80 MPH on the highway when finished. I really didn't expect much, but the result is very noticeable. I sort of wish I had a Db meter for before/after levels; I know there would be a measurable reduction. At $25 it's probably the best bang-per-buck mod I've done.
this kit is great works very well worth every sent littel work but most good things take a littel work what a differance love it
Shutting the door with a solid sound to it. Ride with the hardtop on is exceptionally quiet.
Made a noticeable difference in interior sound level with minimal effort. Well worth the money.
Great way to boost your sound system
