cost of a quiet interior

[Slow Ride 10+ year member]

how much have you guys spent for a daily driver to have a quiet enough interior that a small stereo can sound decent? I used to compete a long time ago and all we had back then was peel n seal. Times have certainly changed.

I've gotten 2 quotes so far and both were around $500 for materials. I was not expecting to pay that much. I also do not have the time to tear my truck apart twice if my small system can not over power the road noise. So I'd like to do it right the first time even if that is the price to pay for a half way quiet interior.

you will need deadener foam and mass loaded vinyl

just go with peel and seal and spend some money on a gas mask for when it's hot out.

i have spent about 250 and mine still has some noise

 

[Slow Ride 10+ year member]

it is an '05 GMC Sierra regular cab truck. I have a small system with only 75W on the ID CXS62 v.2's in the doors and a pair of older Memphis Power Reference 10's with 250W. I don't want it to smell like freshly paved raod every time it gets warm.

Just get some second skin and call it good.

I have a G35 and its pretty quiet when it comes to road noise, not the best but pretty good

I have used second skins damplifier and it worked good, best bet is to get some good deadednig material and use mass loaded vinyl.

Also, alot of road noise comes from the floor board and wheel wells, might wanna hit those spots also

Thanks for all the Second Skin suggestions guys!

For quieting down your car it is best to use at least 2 different products.

Vibration Damper

Noise Barrier

Dampers like Dynamat Extreme, hushmat and the Damplifier series we sell will handle the vibrations and structure borne noise, while barriers like our Luxury Liner Pro will block the transmission of airborne noise.

Feel free too call me with any questions

I am always happy to help, even if you do not decide to use Second Skin!

If you want a quiet environment with a low noise floor for good audio get out of you car and go into your house.
