Did it make a big difference > in the noise level? It did lower the overall noise level, but it's still a pretty loud vehicle at 70+ mph. If I can ever get my hands on a dB level meter, I'd love to take a measurement and compare it to the Car & Driver August 1986 road test of the Syncro Camper (non-GL); they measured 80dBA, cruising @ 70 mph. I did the B-Quiet a couple of years ago, I also insulated under the rear floor with some premium wood floor insulation/padding/vapor barrier. The front floorboards and sheet metal in front of the shifter are insulated with Astro-Foil for both thermal and sound control. The B-Quiet under the jumpseat pedestal was to keep it from rattling when I installed my 10" subwoofer under there. With that going, I hear very little road noise, or anything else for that matter while I am on the road. ===== TJ Hannink Goldibox - 1987 Vanagon Camper, Wolfsburg Edition Winter Park, Florida http://home.earthlink.net/~tjhannink/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wolfsburg_campers http://photos.yahoo.com/tjhannink [Vanagon] Album __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
