redtomatoman Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Not sure what forum category this should go under, but whatever. . . Does anyone have any idea what (if any) sound insulation Dodge puts in the DJ? Any Journey owner knows that the interior cabin is pretty damn quiet and relatively devoid of both road and wind noise. The reason I ask is because a neighbor of mine does car audio upgrades as a hobby and has offered to sound deaden (insulate) my DJ for me. Not sure if I really need it, but quieter is always better. I hate the idea of taking off the panels if it is not necessary as this may lead to future creaks and rattles. According to him, under the carpet is a must. I'd hate disassemble the panels and seats only to find that there is already insulation on the floor. Peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcgusto82 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Just about all modern car carpeting has substantial insulation. That's not where I'd add insulation. Look in the rear door panels, on the 3rd row paneling, and the hatch. That's where they would skimp on insulation. Question.. If you yourself say the DJ is pretty quite, why bother "trying" to make it quiter?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtomatoman Posted August 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 It's not that I decidead to do anything yet. My neighbor will have leftover insulation and he offered. I still don't know if I want to take the panels off. I hate rattles. Peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcgusto82 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 I've partially taken the back panels off. Time consuming.. I don't want to do it again. LoL. Do the rear hatch for s#!+ and giggles. Not that difficult to take apart. It shouldn't rattle afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
