Sound Deadener Mat

Hello all,

What are your thoughts on dynamat, or similar products? What is the best bang for the buck? Looking to lessen road noise in my first gen regular cab.

literally searched for the words "sound deadening" i hate forum search functions... works like 50% of the time lol

 

The only actual unbiased testing I know of: http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum...ns/146403-sound-deadening-cld-testing-69.html

For the Cliff's Notes version, just read the last post. I personally use SDS CLD tiles for damping (also their velcro & butyl rope), TMSoundproofing MLV (barrier layer), and neoprene from Foam by Mail (for decoupling, high-frequency & thermal insulation).

 

Read through almost that entire thread yesterday. Crazy detail

I used that^ looks, feels, and behaves just like dynamat but was way more affordable.

 

Indeed. Sucks that all the pictures got photobucketitis.

 

Amen, a large number of my build thread stuff was subject to that BS

 

I wrote a DIY for deadening the Tacoma years ago. It's for a 2nd gen but still applicable.

excellent, thanks!

 

Looks like i'll be picking up some CLD tiles, MLV and CCF from SDS to knock down noise in my truck. I may replace the carpet and headliner while i'm at it. Mine are old and dirty.

 

RAAMAudio is the best stuff out there. Even make a kit for 1st gens.

 

Do you have any info on the kit? Doesn't look listed on their site

 

hmm i don't see it either. @Madjik_Man would know more. This was a winter project for me and haven't done it. But been in two trucks with it. Huge difference.

 

Awesome, ive been thinking about it and i don't need the very best, i just need good. It'd be nice to talk on the phone and not have to shout lol

 

yeah i noticed the reg was a lot louder roadnoise. Probably because the back wall is RIGHT there and i know that never came very sealed off.

I know if you call the guys at Raam and mention TW and you have a tacoma they will hook you up.

 

Ah wait. Get this: http://www.raamaudio.com/package-1-...s-ofensolite-iuo-peel-and-stick-41-625-sq-ft/

Be more then enough for the whole truck.

 

On my phone so I don't know how it'll work but package #1 is what you want for an xtra cab: http://www.raamaudio.com/package-1-...s-ofensolite-iuo-peel-and-stick-41-625-sq-ft/

 

Perfect. I'll order that now.

 

does your single cab have a vinyl or fabric headliner?
