A bit excessive, ya maybe BUT I really like to hear my stereo - funny I say that and if you see the stereo... ya nothing will be louder but I just like to hear and talk to passenger and not need to talk over road noise.

Anyways, just an added thought.
Thanks for the suggestions. I saw some of your sound deadening in your build thread and I agree with your approach. My stereo won't be nearly as high-end as yours, but I would like the cab to be quiet.

I'm looking at using these two products in addition to jute and carpet.

Kilmat 80 mil butyl sound deadening mat:

Gosche 394 mil sound insulation mat:

I've used the Kilmat before and it does a good job of dampening the metal surfaces, but I've never used the thicker Gosche sound insulation. I'm hoping it will help block more of the road/wind noise and tone down the heat too.

Thoughts?

Thanks.
John
