SoundProofing

Post by Gary57 »

I am looking at soundproofing my sx. Was looking at DynaMat but quite expensive. Found this SA stuff called RoadKill, not a bad price at all, just wonder if its going to work??

Roadkill, remember these you put inside a car to keep sound in, if you wanna keep sound ou you gonna have to take the petrol tank out the soundproof the bottom of boot and so forth, I suppose it could help to keep noise out if you just lay it upside down under carpeting or maybe enven right side up, but don't know how effective it will be then.

No Gary, it is still in it's packiging in my garage, i have decided not to install music so the sound detoning is useless exept if you want to block out road noise....that does not bother me at the moment...

How expensive is the roadkill and where do you buy it?

I've been wanting to put that stuff in the entire rear section of my car. Mainly to keep road/exhaust noise out of the cabin. An possibly make my deafening bass even louder.

It will definately make a difference to the sound inside and out, that is what it is desighned to do.

I can not remember where I baught it, I ordered over the net and they delivered, I think I paid around a R1000 for 2 packs of 25 sheets, 1 sheet is about 50cm x 20cm.
