Sound insulation

[kdixey]

Any creative solutions to adding some sound insulation to the doors of an 86 Gl Wagon? The dynamat kits are EXPENSIVE! There has to be a better option than that. I just installed some decent speakers and I figured now that I'm getting goodd at taking the door panels off...

 

Any ideas?

Look on eBay... they have it pretty cheap sometimes. They also sell it at home depot and Lowes. Good luck!

if you go to home depot or lowes, look for the same kinda insulation that the dynamat crap looks like, its pretty much the same thing, it has 1/2'' of some kinda insulating material, and a foil backer, comes in 4ftx about 10-15 ft. lengths or someting like that.....i think i need to do it to my legacy....might quiet those highway noises down a bit. and use some sort of spray adhesive or something to keep it in place in your doors, you dont want it moving around and bunching up at the bottom of your doors where it doesnt do anything for you.

Some different ideas I got from a car audio board.

The only problem with this one is that he doesn't always have it on ebay.

That's a good idea. I went to the local hardware store and thye only had this foil backed material that looked suspiciously like bubble wrap. It probably would have worked, but it was a bit spendy.

 

I'll zip over to the chain stores see what they have.

 

Thanks

I like the look of the rattle trap extreme.
