    G'day All,

    Recent discussions on sounds proofing caught my eye...

    Dynamat -- not sure if we get it here, but its sounds effective. What
    have people tried as sounds proofing material. Obviously we cant make
    these vehicles whispers quiet, but it would be nice to at least be able
    to hear your navigator.

    Currently I'm playing around with sleeping mat foam, and a roll of
    rubber carpet underlay that fell of the back of a truck. Any other
    suggestions...

    The way I see it, the main issue appears to be achieved decent sound
    damping but without putting down a non removable layer that will absorb
    water contribute to rust etc. I'm trying to figuire out how to make mine
    easily removeable. Also, If you want to be able to remove it, then it
    needs to be reasonable durable. I dont think the carpet underly
    qualifies here. What I'd love would be some really think rubber...

    Thoughts anyone???

    Regards,
