The truth
I don't have no high end system in my 71 chevy truck but I want to know if putting this stuff inside the doors would be worth it. I have the floor already done with some insulation + jut + carpet. I think the floor is OK. What about the doors and the back wall of the cab?

Re: The truth
Any added sound deadening will help. Why exactly are you thinking about putting more in your truck? Is it because the noise level of your interior is too high, are you trying to make your sound system perform better, or ?

Re: The truth
I have sound deadening on my floor, and in my doors. Reduces exterior road noise very nicely when cruising. I do have a high end stereo system in my '69, so I wanted the extra sound reduction.
Honestly, the floor is good enough. Most people do the doors and back of the cab because they want to, but it's really not needed.

Re: The truth
Just for the roadnoise I guess. I don't have door speaker's any more so I was just thinking it may help some with the outside noise and cooling & heating also.

Re: The truth
I have the stuff everywhere you can imagine. It's only real use is for sound deadening. Thermal insulation is minimal at best.

Re: The truth
...you can use a lead mat on the floors to stop airborne noise.

Re: The truth
i put the home depot house siding stuff on my floors, back wall, and kicks. i later added it to the doors, and it did make the truck quieter and you get a nice solid thud when you shut the door.
