The ultimate for sound reduction is going to be dynamat or similar. Before you put the carpet down clean the cab really well and stick it down and it will help out tremendously. With the carpet I would make sure it comes with some good jute backing for some comfyness and a lil sound reduction but not much. I would also purchase a new firewall molding kit and it includes the jute backing on them as well.

But again.. the dynamat is the key. Its cashy but worth the price in my book.

Just my .2 cents worth.
