Do you put padding under a rubber mat?
I am going to put sound mat in before install.

I've been thinking of installing one on my 68 GMC since it originally came with one. Here's one of my posts with pics of a mats from Brother's that has padding already.

If you get one, post some pics and let us know how it worked out. I'm thinking of doing mine probably in a couple of months.

I just bought a new one from a guy in Washington that decided to go with carpet, paid 50, no padding though. Looks very good quality though, no sure what brand.
How thick of jute?

Both LMC and Brothers sell them with padding if I'm not mistaken.

Not sure how thick the jute is on the Brother's mat. I assume it's probably like original which was maybe 1/2 inch or less. The ones that I've seen were after they'd been installed for years and looked more like 1/4 inch. One that I saw had the jute and a thin foam lining under it also.

I'm not familiar with how the rubber mat would be over the new style sound padding. I suppose it would be just as good as the jute type padding.
