Installation

Hello all,
I have a simple question. I am replaceing my carpet in my '89 Bird. I need to know what kind of installation I can install before I install the carpet. I would like some type of materail (colth/rubber or what ever) that will dampen noise and keep heat out. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Brad

After I replaced the floorpans in my 91 I went to Lowe's and bought some roofing mat'l,it was about a 1/16 of rubber with alum backing(self-stick),looked a lot like dynamat,4" wide by 33 feet long if I remember correctly,iI did a single layer everywhere,double under seats and in trunk/cargo area
It made the car sound and feel like a Cadillac(almost..hehe)
Stuff was 6 bucks a roll or so
A few other board members have used it,I saw links on it B4
Later
Steve

Here is a link to my Stereo Site where I outlined what I did to sound proof the car.

I got thermoshield rolls from PEP BOYS for under the carpet, after I soundproofed the metal...

Check the site, did alot more then that and it payed off! That is mostly what the site is about!
