emeraldlion Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 I have looked through some builds and haven't seen this so I assume there is a reason to not. I was thinking that maybe welding a firewall behind the seats, maybe just forward of the toolboxes would block off some noise and maybe add some stiffness. I don't know that I will ever have a full rollbar or anything like that. If it was cut to fit the car, and stitch welded around the edges to the body, would this be of any benefit, or have I been eating to late again and having weird Z dreams?

01vincer6 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 You could just run a thick insulator pad to eliminate the noise from the trunk area. Metal is only going to increase the noise alone unless you padded it aswell. I would try some noise barrier insulation and set it back there first to see if it helps and if it does then maybe do both or just the insulation. I am going to try insulation when I get mine done because of the road noise issues. Even padding the toolbox areas would help since noise bounces around in the boxes..

johnc Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Ever driven in a delivery van with a bulkhead behind the seats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emeraldlion Posted December 26, 2012 Author Share Posted December 26, 2012 Guess I should have specified that some insulation and carpeting would go on. Guess it wouldn't add enough support/stiffness to be any more beneficial than a strut bar or roll bar welded in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
