Default Sound insulation

I would like to remove the carpet and install additional sound installation in my '92.
Where can I buy sheets or rolls of sound deadening material that are about 1/8" thick?

The best known sound deadener is Dynamat Extreme. But expensive. I found a Canadian manufacturer that makes an equivalent product, called B-quiet Extreme, that is much cheaper.

See my web site below for a couple pictures, and the web link to the company. Click on the 'and in goes the new...' link.

It was well worth it, but a lot of work. I'll give you installation tips. The biggest tip - do it on a hot sunny day. The sun will help you install it. Reply in the thread or email me if you want more info.

Tom,

Check out the site http://www.b-quiet.com They sell the B-Quiet and Dynamat sound deadener materials. They also sell Brown Bread. They have a link on their site that shows a review of several sound deadener materials. The Brown Bread was hands down the quietest. It's about 1/2 the price of Dynamat too. I sent away for the samples for $1.99. You can really see the difference with the samples.

There is another manufacturer site at http://www.fatmat.com that says their product is as good or better than Dynamat at a lower price.
