Talking

Just been doing a little bit of Soundprooofing this week .. both front dorros, rear parcel shelf (and also all the boot area since these were taken), also added a good 1/2" of felt to boot bottom to quiet down the full SS system
One thing i must say though is that even though the car is alot more quieter and less noisy, i know feel somewhat isolated, be fore it was all roar and road noise, now that all thats gone, its kinda taking some geting used to, though i have to say i`ve never had such a good sounding stereo in a car before





Still got the rear doors and rear panels to do, just waiting to get across for some more sheeting ..... 9 rolls used so far

i`ll take some of the boot area tomorrow when i get up, any advice as to what to do next kindly appreciated.Soundproofing on the front doors doubled up (apparently 3 times better sound deadening) seen as thats the most important area )

Believe it or not house underlay under your carpets works well.

I'd have to concur with David - especially for some forms of noise. Dynamat stops resonances well, but for some noises (such as Scoobysport backbox) then underlay seems to work well in combination with Dynamat...

Give it a try - it shocked me!
