Under Carpet Under Pad

Since I'm in no rush to get the interior done and want to do it right.. in a budget -- I'm gonna go ahead and pull the carpet and see what's what.. https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/inte...lots-pics.html

Just can't get my head around why dynamat is so expensive. With a new carpet, I'll get a new padding.. anyone tried anything else under that more affordable than dynamat? Thx!

Get the carpet with the Mass Backing(car came from factory with it),it has the SAME effect as all that other stuff.

Below is a side by side comparison of all the dampening products around. Very interesting and well worth the read.

Raamat is a good budget choice as well.
