Default Foam as sound insulator

Austin / Brandon,

I did go over to Home depot, and picked up the felt padding instead. It's
much denser and neater to work with. The problem I have now is what should I
use for the trunk lid? I can't (actually don't want to use because of dust
and ugliness) use the felt there. I guess my only choice is dynamat, but I
don't care for the super shiny metallic look. It screams "steal me, I have a
cool car stereo system".


When I checked last, The Home Depot also had thick rubber padding.
Very thick. Much mre effective than Dynamat. This stuff was on one of
those big rug rolls. The trunk will not stay open.

I think he's talking about the foam rubber undercarpet padding, not the
expanding foam.

Well, be careful with that stuff because the rapid expanding foam that
swells can create alot of pressure on the inside of the metal panels and
can
misshape your panels you spray into. Just be cautious of how much you
use.
