Soundproofing

(1/3) > >>

90sam:
Well now its getting closer to me driving and i have some money! I need to soundproof my 90 cause i wanna hear the radio! It's got a tdi fitted and its on mud tyres. Where shall i soundproof and whats best to use? I was thinking rubber matting cause then its good for mud, but is it good at absorbing sound? What have you people all used? Where is the best place to get it from and what glue to use? I've got no soundproofing at all not even on the rear roof!
Kind Regards
Sam

AbyssDJ:
is it a hardtop?

extreme90:
sound proofing
peh
how u think i feel with simex and the drone of the 200  :shock: , ive got nuffin anywhere

but..

you can get soundproofing to go onto the bonnet
rubber floor+ trans mat's get rid of the transmission and some of the engine drone
pointless in putting anything in the roof  :roll:
you can also buy gearbox jackets if your that concerned about noise  :roll:
but id say stop being a woman and just turn the radio up, doesnt bother me at all  :P

90sam:
I've got a 200 and its a hardtop but i may put windows in. I've got sags which roar abit on the road!
Thats the thing i've got like 4 terrible speakers out some mondeo or something which start cracking when you turn them up so want to just quiet it down a lil bit, im not expecting it to be totally silent tho just some improvement! Wouldnt the bonnet stuff melt on the turbo as on mine its pretty high up, i may buy some rubber and try it out.

AbyssDJ:
windows in the back will quieten it down. failing that, use some spray adhesive and stick some tough carpet to em, it will dull down the noise they make a bit.

cover the gearbox tunnel and footwells with rubber, and shove some soundproofing on the underneath of the bonnet... get some off a broken defender or something. probably isnt that much anyway. i've got some you could have maybe, but its kinda falling apart.
