G'day Alan

Any updates on this project ?

Did you end up measuring the sound before and after ?

Is it worthwhile doing ?

Don't think Al can hear you anymore........  RRS TDV6 Bluetooth, VR, Roof

Good stuff apparently

Well as you might have guessed, I got sidetracked from this job and have only two panels done.

I even bought a digital sound meter but the thing wavered all over the place and I couldn't get a steady or average reading.

So, it is still on my "To do" list and not likely to get attention till the spring. .

top work yet again Alan

in case anyone else is interested in this, I did mine a while back with a canadian company called B-Quiet. Its BETTER, and CHEAPER than any sound proofing company out there. Theya re on Fleabay too for a bit cheaper. I ordered it and two days later it was at my doorstep with a very reasonable price too


I used the Ultimate, whixh is thier best and Vcomp, LComp.

my experience with dynamat was awesome.
the difference was more than i imagined.
but it also added considerable weight.
at least to an extent that i could feel the difference before and after.
other than the weight issue, soundproofing is a very good investment.
(but then again, whats a few kgs on a 2.5MT tank, right? )

Yea depending on your location in the world its best to research the product first. Since I live in a warmer climate the B-Quiet has a higher DB loss at higher temps by far and is equal with Dynomat at lower temps. If you live in a semi mild climate that is warmer than cooler then go with B-Quiet.

any update, I'm in suspense Alan Clones are people two

I'm afraid the RRS soundproofing has been put on hold as I have got involved with another project - at the other end of the scale, you might say. But small things come in good packages.

Don't tell me it has a V8 in it Alan?!

Not a V8, but I am putting in a 1380 engine with fuel injection, electronic ignition and a few other power goodies, so with about 120 hp and very little weight it will take on a RRS supercharged anytime! .

How's the soundproofing on the Moke?  '08 RRS TDV8
I converted my diesel RRS to run on an environmentally friendly mixture of caribou fat and baby seals oil

Funny you should ask: There is an old Indian proverb about not paving all the roads with leather but just wearing shoes...



I actually built a pair of small speakers into them so I can actually hear the radio perfectly - and nowt else!

(OK I can guess at the forthcoming comments) .
