what does the foam do?

Click to expand...

The foam blocks road noise and insulates the car. I think I used like 4 yards and 4 rolls of BXT but it might have been more, I had to order more when the first order was not enough... I still need more to do the ceiling eventualy maybe I'm so tired of doing that **** I don't know if I will ever go through it again.

I did 2 layers of BXT on the outer door panel and 3 right behind the speaker and in a few other places. Also put some foam behind the speaker to help with standing waves.

I put 2 layers on the inner panel as well which may have been overkill and also compleatly sealed the door up with it then a layer of foam as well (not the best way but you wills ee why I got lazy once you got started. Don't deaden over the door pop holes it will be a PITA later. I even put a layer of deadening on the door panels themselves because when I was done the stupid panels themselves were still vibrating. My doors will not stay open on really steep hills now due to the weight. They are easier for me to close now though, but harder for some people lol.

I used a layer on floor + foam, and doubled up on about 1/2 of it. Also used 2 layers on the back wall + foam again. I ended up removing my door panels like 3 times and the rear wall a bunch of times as well to add foam later and then wiring later and then an amprack still later.

Needless to say I added alot of weight to the truck and I'm not so motivated to do the roof and overhead conole which are now my main source of fixable rattles. I'm not sure how to get my light covers (all 3) to stop ratteling like crazy maybe if I add enough weight to the roof the covers themselves will receive less vibration.
