Alright guys, I decided to tackle a project similar to what a member on here did by getting rid of some noise with a carpeting material. I'm attempting the same thing, except with my door panels and rear panels. I went to Home Depot and bought a 6'x9' roll of carpet padding for $30, along with a can of 3M rubber and vinyl spray adhesive. I already tried to deaden the sound a bit by using some extra Dynamat I had, but it didn't help much at all. Spray the door panel on the areas where you will be placing the padding, then rip pieces to the size of your choice and place accordingly. WARNING: You might want to let these panels sit overnight, because the smell isn't too pleasant.
Pics of the materials: Starting door panel: Door panel finished: After I get everything finished I'll let you guys know how well this worked. I spent $40 in materials with tax, so it would be a pretty cheap solution to getting rid of some exterior road noise. Not the prettiest solution, but I feel it should help out greatly. -Matt |

Alright,
I'm going to use the insulation material this weekend (along with replacing some speakers). I'll be getting the driver and passenger doors, quarter panels, and the whole trunk done. I'll post another comment here saying whether it was worth the money or not. As it stands right now, It's a pain to even talk to someone when pulling 70+ on the freeway. The resonator hits a sweet spot where you just can't talk that well, though 90% of the noise is just road noise. I'll let you guys know. -TC -------------------- Live your life for yourself.
