  • In this video I do a road noise test at different speeds in my VW Caddy to see just how much difference sound deadening, insulation, ply and carpet lining etc really does make.

    Spent about the same and the difference is immense.. Upgraded the door speakers and the sound deadening really makes a difference 👍

      What speakers did you put in

  • @rokadaprliinnysystemyaczno4761

    Excellent, thanks for the before and after test.

  • @forgottenknowledge8917

    My van is stripped and ready to build. I've noticed how much louder it is when there's no carpet and insulation. I like loud. I'm straight piping the van today haha

      Thanks Gordon, got quite a lot in the pipeline 😎

    Nice comparison. Worthwhile to those who are planning their conversions. A decibel reading would have been even better!
    In my T6, when I fully stripped it I could hardly carry on a conversation. Now fully sound deadened and thermally insulated, with furniture, it’s extremely quiet and comfortable.

      Cheers Cameron, yes a decibel meter reading would be cool, but can certainly tell the difference just from the camera mic (and when in the van). And you're right, it makes a big difference having furniture etc too, 😎

    Just completed soundproofing and insulating my T6 Kombi. Thanks for all the tips to get through this. I can’t face carpeting just yet as I have to make new panels. Quieter van and well worth all the skinned knuckles, ceased knees, cut forehead and a sore back.

    You shouldd do the fornt doors and floor so it's even quieter

    Hey, did you ever lift the suspension on your transporter - was looking to put BFGs on 17” rims on my t6.1 - but yours looked really tight on stock suspension- did you ever get any rubbing issues?

    • @tubedarren
      @tubedarren  Před 2 lety

      Hi no I never lifted mine. No rubbing issues it was a t32 4-motion if that helps thanks
