Convertible trunk mat/sound deadening

Any sound deadening will help but as Kosmickuda said it's a convertible.

When I drive to car shows I have over the ear head phones on that brings the db down to where I can hear when I arrive.


Now with the top up it is not particularly loud inside to the point I hear all kinds of car noises I don't otherwise. Ignorance is bliss!

:rofl:

The sound deadening does 2 things
  1. It stiffins the metal so it can not vibrate like a speaker cone
  2. It adds absorption to stop the sound from transmitting so easily.

A third posable benifit, if installed well, is it will keep water off the metal.

I have not seen any testing to prove this. A void could possibly become a spot where cold metal can come in contact with moist air and condense.

I think the top up in normal driving scenario is what led me to the dynamat question. I see the same thing where noises I don’t hear with the top down seem to creep up and annoy me with the top up. Maybe I have a low bar but I am pretty impressed with how “quiet” the car is with the top down. My dad had a 94 LeBaron convertible and I swear the wind noise was way worse on that. I can have a conversation with people in the back seat and not have to yell. I don’t remember that being the case in the LeBaron.
