Anyone have any experiences in improving the sound proofing in the 914 ?... I have a 74 1.8 liter that is my semi daily driver and the Engine Bay Insulation peice as well as the insulation panel behind the backpanel is missing.

I am looking at replacing the engine insulation panel with one of those foil types that is avail on ebay !

George at AA recomended the stock stuff.... I saw in the October VW Trends mag they are "soundproofing" a bug using a multi-layer foil product called Dyanamat. www.dynamat.com.

The stuff has a neoprene rubber base layer a 8 mil lead sound deadening layer and a foil outer layer..

My plan was to use this stuff on the backpanel/firewall as well as the floor and on the inside of the doors glued to the inside of the steel door panels. I was hoping to get the car quiet enough to be able to install a CD Player/satellite radio with Amp and Speakers in door panels.

The car handles like all get out... just trying to make it more comfortable to drive and be able to enjoy a modern sound system.

any thoughts or ideas on the soundproofing or the sound sytem / speakers ?

If you're thinking of cutting your door panels, please don't. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif)

One of our members, morphenspectra, makes a replacement for the stock speaker pod which will accommodate a 6.5" speaker.
