Soundproofing advice Volvo

**ziz** · January 6th 07, 04:09 PM posted to uk.rec.audio.car,uk.rec.cars.misc

I have a Volvo S80 saloon with an excellent sound system. I listen to a lot
of music in the car and would like to soundproof the car.
Can anyone offer advice on:
Where to buy materials.
How to go about it.
I am happy to spend the time doing it well if I can get some detailed
advice.
Many thanks.

Dynamat! You should need to much as the car is pretty solid, but its worth
paying a decent in car firm to properly removal the panels, install proofing
and re-assemblle the car.

I'd expect it to be a waste of time in something like an S80. I'm assuming
you're trying to keep out external noise rather than stop the noise getting
out...

I agree that the Volvo is already a quiet car but when I have talked on the
US Volvo forum, they reckon there is a difference which makes it worth
doing. I need to track down the raw materials and method in the UK.
