Hi,
I had a mate who sound proofed the whole of his AX GT.
He bought some matting which was easily moulded using a hair dryer and stuck onto the floor under the carpets.
It was a bit of work, but had the desired effect.
I don't remember exactly how much it cost, but check out your local accessories store for Dynamat sound proofing.
It's not exactly cheap (£100 a roll-?ish), but nothing ever is.... and I'm sure it weighed a bit too.
Good luck...
:)
way hey a reply! weight thats a bugger, isn't cheap another bugger .answer ear plugs when we go far.lol:cheers:

think brown bread is cheaper, cordypete says somewhere that 2 layers of this stuff is as good as 3 layers of most others!!
is that thick or thin sliced brendy?and won't it go off?or is it long life?:cheers:
A good sound proofing material that you may want to try is Aquaseal Highband Flashing tape from B&Q (available in many different sized rolls - 10m x 100mm for £6.99) this price was from a year ago, so it may have changed by now.
this stuff is much cheaper and just as effective as the Dynamat stuff.

another good sound deading material is Carpet Underlay, the thick heavy duty stuff, £27-00 (carpet-world)

Or go to your local carpet dealer, speak to them nicely... they normally have loads of underlay offcuts which for them are useless but a good size for your boot! :devil:
flash banding ...thats thestuff i was thinking of ,couldn't think what its called ,i've got a couple of squares of some building lining in the boot but it ain't quite enough i'm getting old and the music doesn't sound like it did in my day blah blah etc etc:cheers:
