$700 for deadening

[ebrunn 10+ year member]

I have a 99 VW New Beetle and would like to silence the hell out of the thing. Engine noise is a big issue. All comes from the general area of the transmission/firewall. Very loud when driving about 70 on the highway. Also have a stereo of course and would like to deaden and treat for that as well.

Already have a layer of second skin in the trunk area. Truck lid and trim panel are deadened as well.

Guess I would like to spend about $700 on deadening. How far could I go with that? Would like to do doors pretty hardcore(just got these new ID OEM mids). Prolly the floor pretty hardcore as well to cut the noise.

$700 can buy a LOT of sound deadening, especially if you are going to do it yourself.

Just replied to your thread over at the Second Skin Forum

$700 is a good dollar amount for that car.

Most of our beetle customers end up between $500-800 so you are reight in line with the rest of them.
