Sound insulation
Has anyone ever used the thinner dense carpet insulation as a sound deadening along with Reflectix for heat barrier underneath there carpet? I'm having a hard time finding the sound deadener in Ontario Canada. I was hoping it was easily available at one the Home Depot or Rona Building Stores, but it seems it not available local that I am aware of. I would have to order it.
Thanks

I didn't use the thinner sound deadening fabric material. You could try www.b-quiet.com and get the B-quiet Ultimate it works great and it thinner than the fabric type.

I tell you what, that cheep chrome bubble insulation from the hardware store is awsome. My carpet and insulation is almost nonexistant and I could hardly stand to cruise. I recently put some of that stuff in when I converted my pedals to clutch and the difference is incredible. I think with regular floor insulation the heat will be complete gone.

I put down some stuff called Peel and Seal that I got from a local hardware store - it's some sort of rubberized mat with aluminum flashing on the outside and then put the reflectix on top of that - we'll see how it works, my vette isn't driveable yet.
Edit: The general idea of sound proofing a car is by using some sort of padding such as foam or rubberized asphault or some other rubberized spray to lessen the vibrations while driving.

Mine isn't drivable yet either. I have purchased Cool-it, which Corvette Fever used in their Shark Attack series. It aint' cheap so it better deliver.

I'm not looking for anything to eliminate heat since I already have Reflectix. I now only want sound deadening, and I was hoping to purchase it right from a local Canadian Store.
Any help would be appreciated.

Peel & Seel is more of a sound deadener (very much like Dynamat-type products) than a heat insulator. I'm going with a layer of Reflectix on top of the Peel & Seel - my Ace Harware now sells Reflectix packaged for automotive purposes.

Try an automotive body supply shop..(paint,etc) I found some sound deadening material that came in 12" squares....you can put your reflectix over it....Dynomat is one type...about 1/8" thick,but heavy and self adhesive...Evercoat is another..you don't need 100% coverage with these pads...they change the natural freqency of the vette (panel) applied to,reducing noise....good for bottom/slope part of footwells and rear cargo deck for exhaust resonance...

If you use the 12" mats,think maybe four would do flat of footwell/under seat including one on the slope part at firewall,not assuming full coverage.......use a tape measure and check your vette to be sure....if you use Peel & Seal, it would take at least 10 sq ft to do 100% of footwell,side to side,and back under seat...say 20 sq ft for both sides of cabin...and tunnel sides....

I did some more research and have read that Brown Bread is suppost to be cheaper and better than dynomax and b-quiet.

Brown Bread...A viscoelastic deadener with a supercharged bitumen based adhesive. With an aluminum constraining layer and an unique composition with suspended mineral particles it has been proven to be extremely efficient at the conversion of vibration to thermal energy. Brown Bread is extremely flexible which is very important as it allows it to properly adhere to a contoured panel.
About $2.25 sq ft.....
