yeah you dish out hundreds, maybe thousands for dynamat, or search ebay for slightly less expensive stuff that is probably just as good. How to make Sound Deadener? -- posted image.

Basicly consists of asphalt, rubber type material, aluminum cover, or a combination of all of them.  Basicly, you can find a less expensive way that works for you, or spend about 120% of your audio budget on deadening

is your goal to reduce road noise, panel vibrations or both? as a general rule increasing mass lowers resonant frequency, as does increasing rigidity of panels. ensuring your weatherstripping is in good shape will help with road noise.

you can go to your local home depo or lowes. they have this stuff that they use on your air conditioning lines so they reduce moister. its like a tar like matrial. its very cheap and does the job great. i have a 03 durango and i used it on my roof and back panals and it works like a dream. huge difference. i think i paid like 70 bucks for everything. deff try that before spending an arm and leg on dynamat. theres this other stuff called b-quite you can find it on ebay its real cheap to and its the same stuff.

Spray on truck bed lining works very well.

jl_jeep19, if you were capable of manufacturing your own you wouldn't be asking how to do it on an internet forum.  Buy it like everybody else does.
Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

I would agree, people have been using 'peel'n seal' forever. Moat of that stuff will do the trick. Dynamat is nice, but for the money it's a little overboard.
