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.

Was not expecting how big of a difference this would make. Closing the doors feel so solid and satisfying now. Even the vibrations from pushing the key into the key hole feels so buttery and good.
It will make you think you've gone a little insane though because non of my passengers seem to notice the difference. And I just end up slamming the door over and over again to show them how nice it feels.
Even though others may not notice the subtle difference, you as the owner definitely will.
Cleaned up the bass and midrange on my 2023 GT at mid to high volume. Well worth it and easy to install. Recommended.
I'm impressed at what a difference this has made. Installation was relatively easy. It's made the whole driving experience feel more solid. No more rattling in the doors, and my speakers sound better.
Easy to install, reduced NVH from the doors by a noticeable amount. It is admittedly a pain to get enough pressure on the tape through either the woofer hole or the regulator cavity, but once it's on, what a difference it makes.
Man installing this kit to my door not only made it sound stiffer and stronger but the noises from when someone would close my door would grind my gears but after installing it man did I see some changes in noise and for the door sounding less fragile. Installation was simple nothing out the ordinary, however I did lose 1 clip for my door. Be careful when you take them off other than that it was well put together.
