It all started when I chose to upgrade the sound system of my Volkswagen
Vanagon camper with more powerful and better sounding components. After
everything was finally in place, I unfortunately noticed that I had to
pump the music quite loud just to hear it... and even there, I was still
missing much of the lower harmonics. On long trips, loud music, engine,
road and wind noises were making the driving experience less pleasurable
than it should have been.
I've only done the font portion of the van
so far, but I can already confirm that B-Quiet products are making a huge difference. I can now
actually hear my co-pilot when she's suggesting I should take the next exit!
I used the original sound deadening mat of the Vanagon as a guide for the
Vcomp pattern. I would suggest cutting larger than the OEM sound mat, so
you can put the Vcomp in place, and then make the final adjustments, trying
to keep the Vcomp coverage to its maximum (but stay clear of the pedals). I
used the door trim the same way with Brown Bread. Adding a slice of Brown
Bread to the inner door is good for you. It forms an additional sound
barrier, and thus, it is more efficient than simply applying one layer to
the outer face of the door. After doing so, you should hear the doors
closing with a low "Thud" instead of resonant "Boing".
