Sound Deadening

[dccc_chap]

What is the most adequate place to sound deaden in the car, is it adequate just to do the boot where most of the speakers are?? what is the best stuff to use and where do u get it from?

Breeny had some kind of insulation tape in his car that was bought from a DIY store for a few quid. Much cheaper than going to Halfords and getting whatever it is they recommend. I don't know exactly what the insulation tape is called, theres quite a few peeps who have it, all I know is you can get stuff from DIY shops that do just as good a job for a lot less.
Not sure if I've helped really, LOL. Now I'm rambling :roll: :lol:

Mate found a huge sponge block thing. He bandsawed it into small layers and then tucked them into his boot space behind the panel. Stopped absoloutely every vibration. But that was a mk2 punto.

could you use SPONGE or FOAM to sound deaden ur car like fill the door cars wiv it and all in the boot? im thinkin of doin this to get rid of all the vibrations and exterior sounds? has anyone tried this?

mmm - the fresh smell of stiltom lining to doors!

Line boot area (rear spare wheel well), inner panels on doors and 1/4 area - under floor and round inner front arches (as inside the car) and if you can get behind the dash to that too.

Itll add weight but will deaden a little.

You can also line roof if you can be arsed removing the lining...
