Stage 3 - full cabin soundskins install DIY - huge improvements

Ok yall, time to get super serious about cabin noise reduction and speaker quality improvement!

Here is the 'stage 3' setup with SoundSkins Global into my BMW M2 Competition!

Stage 1 made a noticeable improvement in sound quality from the doors.

Stage 2 further improved door sound quality, and a measurable improvement in road noise reduction.

Stage 3 finishes the job with full matting through the cabin basin and under the back seat and man does it work! Not only does it further reduce road noise, but with underseat subwoofers, it dramatically improves low bass response as well. Man was THAT a surprise when I first turned my music back on! The bass now is just KICKING.

This may seem like a lot of work, but it really isn't that hard and can be done easily in a day. Also this is something that you can do yourself and really make a difference in your car.

Check it out, and see the difference this can make for you too!

I have to say thank you. I took my door kick panel off to run a wire for an aim solo laptimer and I didnt realize the white connector pieces should be pulled up. I was trying to get the panel to snap back into place. I was able to do it on a few connectors and finally gave up. Watching this video was super helpful in figuring that out.

Absolutely worth it, and has made a HUGE difference in all the cars I have done it in thus far.
