    Sound Dampening

    Ok. I have my rear seat removed and love it. Now I am thinking of quieting the VX down a bit in the back only and on the floor. I have read about Dynamat, Brown Bead, Foam. What does the group here recommend?

    I'm not planning on taking anything else out of the back, except the carpet, so I think about 20 sf should get the job done. Thanks for the recomendation.

    oh.

    I just mentioned the rear wheel well humps because when I dynamatted my VX I originally did just the entire driver/passenger area (bottom, top, door, door) and the rear floor of the VX.

    Turned out that most of my road noise was coming from the wheel wells (really bad). Especially with the seats removed, it just resonated. Kind of defeated the purpose if I still had noise, so I had to buy more to cover those... It helped immensely.

    Best of luck.

    Dynamat Extreme topped with 1/2" Dynaliner or Extremeliner. I'm a DM dealer - let me know what you can get it for and I'll see if I can beat it.

    I personally prefer Brown Bread by BQuiet. The name is not as well known over here as Dynamat, but if you do your research you'll find that it's a superior product for a better price.

    20 sq ft is hardly anything - probably enough to do both doors. To do it right, you'll need 50-100 sq ft minimum.

    Can't wait to read the sound deadener showdown. In the mean time, here is another site to look at. M sure that Dynamat is good stuff, but wonder if there is some more affordable stuff out there, I hate paying for a name.

    So I'm cheap

    here is that site:
