Yes, if you want to improve the sound even a little, deadening is a type of installation where you can expect quite a noticeable effect.
However, it’s not something that’s mandatory for everyone; it’s most natural to decide whether it’s necessary based on your current sound concerns and the finish you’re aiming for.

Deadening is an installation that uses specialized materials on the inside of the door, etc., to reduce unwanted vibrations and rattling noises.
As a result, the speaker sound is less likely to scatter, and a major benefit is that the muddiness decreases and the contours of vocals and instruments become easier to hear.

You’ll especially tend to feel the effect around the doors where the front speakers are installed.
Since this is the foundation of the sound, if you get it properly set up, you’re more likely to notice a change where the entire sound becomes calmer and easier to listen to, rather than a flashy, dramatic shift.

At LOGON as well, many customers consult us in combination with a speaker replacement, and it’s chosen by people who want to not only swap the speakers, but also improve the installation environment so you can draw out their original qualities.
Also, even while keeping the factory speakers, depending on the vehicle model and condition, you may find that the distracting flutters and rattling are reduced and everyday music becomes easier to enjoy.

On the other hand, it’s okay not to force an installation if you have situations like the following.

• You want to keep it to the bare minimum
• You’re not really looking for major changes in sound quality
• You want to first see how it sounds with only a speaker replacement

Deadening is not an installation where more layers automatically means better.
The important thing is to do it in the right places with the appropriate content, tailored to the vehicle model, door structure, and your current sound situation.
Even if you add materials indiscriminately, you may not clearly notice a difference for the cost, so how you design the contents is very important.

People who it tends to be a good fit for include those like the following.

• When you turn up the volume, the door rattles or flutters bother you
• Vocals aren’t coming through clearly
• You want to properly bring out the benefits of a speaker replacement
• You want a natural, easy-to-listen-to sound more than a flashy one

Conversely, if your only goal is to increase the bass dramatically or change the sound in a truly dramatic way, deadening alone may not match your expectations.
In those cases, it can be easier to feel satisfied if you consider it together with speakers, amplifiers, and other components.

Deadening is an installation meant to prepare the foundation of the sound, rather than to simply make the sound feel bigger and louder.
So even if it’s not easily noticeable visually, when you actually listen you’re likely to think, “Somehow it’s easier to listen to,” or “The sound is more naturally put together than before,” making it a highly satisfying option.

Whether it’s necessary depends on your vehicle and the current condition of your audio.
If you’re unsure, you don’t have to push forward with everything; based on the points that concern you, you can consult us about what range would be a good fit.
