i know most of the guys remove trhe sound deaner to improve the weight. i want to increase the comfort in sound. i know about dynamat and such but it's so damn exp$$$. i saw somewhere where someone used some insulation from a hardware store. was wondering what kind it was i can't remember. my car is m ostly a dd and to cruise with. so the drone on the highway sucks .

any help would be appreciated.

I had one of those cheap memory-foam mattress toppers lying around and got an idea the other week. I stripped out the stock sound deadener crap, rigged up my rear seat delete, and lined the underside of the rear shelf and seat-delete sheetmetal panel with some trimmed-to-fit sections of the mattress topper. Weighs less than the stock insulation (according to my trusty bath scale, I shaved 3 lbs. off by switching sound insulating materials), and soaks up the sound way more effectively. Helps stereo acoustics, too - my crappy little 6"x7" speakers suddenly have bass, now!

So, if you've got a mattress topper laying around, there's a freebie. If not, a new one costs about thirty bucks at Wal-Mart, which is still half the cost of that Dynamat stuff...

Check out this thread over on Corral.net, it's been around since 04 and tons of guys on that forum have insulated using that method and all have had awesome results. I plan on doing it this winter myself.
