Acoustic Mat
Hi All,
I've decided that I don't want to spend £450 on acoustic matting!
Has anyone found / fitted any other readily available products that can be cut by hand and will do the job instead of the £450 version?
Tom

i dont rate acoustic matting if its cut to fit, so i used a roll of rubber matting and cut that to fit my last 4x4. the thicker teh better yet the thin stuf hugs shape better, get some good quality spray glue and your sorted

Another vote for MPS and the Dynamat system Thumbs Up

You don't have to cover 100% of the panels, give Simon at MPS a ring for advice

As I have a Dcab im not too worried about rear tub.It would be for interior of cab, probably not roof and doors though..
I have had look at the link you sent to the previous post on Dynamat....Everyone seems to be buying it!
Not cheap stuff though....but then maybe I wont need to much of it.....
Can carpets go back down on top of it does anyone know?

It's pretty thin stuff, so carpets shouldn't be a problem.

Silent coat is the same sutff, but a lot cheaper.

I have just done the front of mine in dynamat with the wright off road mat on top. Reduced the sound by 8db (iPhone app) big diffrence. Such a diffrence I want to do the rear seats as well. I bought a 8x4 sheet of matting from wright off road to put over the dynamat in the rear just need to find some cash for the dynamat think it was around £125 guess you could do that for the front. Defentaly dynamat though Thumbs Up

I used the moulded matting for the front. Expensive but worth it as gives a tidy finish with no carpets to get wet and muddy. I got my moulded stuff off ebay but the flat sheet from drew at wright off road (he does the molded as well) very helpful guy and gave me a copy of a land rover monthly article on fitting.

I ended up using a bulk pack for the front with one sheet left over thinking I will need another for the rear
