 Subject: sound proofing?
IP: Logged
Message:
I've got a '97 4x4 Sport 5.2L and was wondering if there are products available that people have had good luck with for soundproofing the cab. It's still, probably, quieter than our POS minivan but I'd like to quiet it down some. Is it possible that the material under the carpet has worn out and isn't as effective anymore? Is there a good location to purchase a good quality underlayment for the carpet?
Thanks for any help,
Mark

Dynomat is good stuff. I have had several freinds use it with good success. I think it comes in big sheets and you just cut it to fit where you need it.

Know any roofers ? I've had good luck with bithethane - adhesive backed rubber material about 1/8" thick, comes in 3' rolls. Similar to the soundproofing found in many older vehicles. A whole roll is much more than you need if you can just get some left over.
Lead, follow, or get out of the way

Dynamat is OK but expensive, and you have to heat it up (pain in the a55). Do a search for FatMat. Its better than dynamat, cheaper, and you just stick it on without heating it up. Comes in 36sq ft or 100. Good stuff.

I have some Dynamat-like material I used throughout the cab of my truck. It is an adhesive backed, fabric-reinforced rubber matting which was used at my company for the manufacture of a now discontinued product. The adhesive is a lower temperature pressure sensitive adhesive that sticks way better than that crap on Dynamat you have to heat up. The trade off is that it doesn't perform well in high temps i.e. over 150F. So basically if you use it on floors, doors, and sides it's fabulous, just not on hot roofs. It dampens better than dynamat and adheres better in cold climates. WARNING: The adhesive is so strong, once it touches a painted metal panel you can't remove it without taking some paint with it unless you heat it up before removal. Even then it's a biatch. The material comes with an easily removed clear polyester liner.
I have two widths: 28" and 40" in whatever lengths desireable. I don't recall the density off the top of my head so I can't give estimates on shipping weights. I would venture to guess it's quite a bit heavier than Dynamat. Thickness of the butyl rubber is about 0.100" if I recall... way heavier than Fat Mat or Dynamat, about twice as thick I think. Thickness of the adhesive is about 0.040" Data sheets on both the rubber and adhesive are available upon request. I can also provide sample squares of the material upon request as well.
Also available is a thicker version of the same stuff with a heavy tread pattern in the rubber material. Base thickness of this rubber is 0.125" with an overal thickness of about 0.250" not including the 0.040" of adhesive. This material is quite heavy and I would recommend using this one for floors only. This one would be the equivalent to about four layers of Dynamat.
For samples or photos shoot me an email. Prices are as follows:
Regular 28" wide material for $3/linear ft.
Regualr 40" wide material for $4/linear ft.
Heavy 28" wide material for $4/linear ft.
Heavy 40" wide material for $5/linear ft.
The weight of the two thicknesses of damping material are as follows:
Regular: 11oz/sq.ft.
Heavy: 17.5oz/sq.ft.
28" Regular = 2.33 sq.ft./linear ft. = 25.6oz/linear ft. = 1.6lb/linear ft.
40" Regular = 3.33 sq.ft./linear ft. = 36.6oz/linear ft. = 2.3lb/linear ft.
28" Heavy = 2.33 sq.ft./linear ft. = 40.8oz/linear ft. = 2.5lb/linear ft.
40" Heavy = 3.33 sq.ft./linear ft. = 58.3oz/linear ft. = 3.6lb/linear ft.
This should allow you to estimate shipping from my zip code 94065. I have 6"x6" samples I am willing to send out to those interested.
Pass on the good word. Thanks.

I have a 2003 Dodge Dakota 4 door 4.7L V8 and a dual exaust that is nice and loud. I went to Best Buy and had Geek Squad pull out the Premium 8 Infinty Speakers, Amp, and Cd player that came factory because the speakers blew to easy. They installed new aftermarket Infinity Amp, speakers and CD player, in stock locations and did not charge to instal 4 sqare feet of Dynamat Extream for only $39.99. This is the peel and stick kind and they covered just the 4 doors and have greatly improved the overal quitness when the CD player is turned off and has also dampend the vibration when the speakers are hitting hard. I am very impressed by the Dynamax Extream and i want to get more installed on the interior wall behind the back seat and add a box with a 12inch sub. Best Buy does a great job if your wanting it too look clean and sound really great without blowing your system.
