Soundproofing
Hello has anyone soundproofed the back of their van and if so what did they use. I want to do it as cheaply as possible. I know that there might be a thread on here but I don’t have access to all of the site yet.

Re: Soundproofing
Loads of us have done it, with loads of different brands of sound dampening.
I personally prefer Dynamat, and have done the whole interior of my Caddy with it over a period of a year because it is expensive. Worth every penny doing it, though. Does not sound like a van inside any more.

Re: Soundproofing
Just purchased second skin. Expected a big box for the price I paid but no. Freakishly pricey.

Re: Soundproofing
Dodo mat rolls, easy to cut to whatever size you need
I've fully sound deadened, insulated and carpeted the back of mine.... Best thing I ever did

Re: Soundproofing
Did you do it all the way or just certain pieces? I plan to do the roof, floor and 'glass' panels.

Re: Soundproofing
I soundproofed the cab of my Chevy C10 with Dynamst Xtreme when I rebuilt the truck over winter, also sprayed boom mat inside the doors. Can’t speak for other brands, but it made a huge difference, took all the rattles away and exhaust drone too. And that’s on a 1967 pickup with solid engine mounts, poly cab mounts and hooker headers with 2.5” side exit pipes. Very impressed, definitely money well spent

Re: Soundproofing
Hi Skully, is this through experience of using other sound deadening? Or just personal preference?

Re: Soundproofing
Personal preference, Matt.
And here in South Africa we do not get a huge variety of different brands.
Have used Second Skin, Stinger Roadkill and STP products before on my own and others vehicles, but I prefer Dynamat as it just works better, in my opinion.
