That part shouldn’t be too expensive, especially if you get an off-brand.
Then you cover over that with a layer of mass loaded vinyl backed by closed cell foam.
The dynamat dampens vibration. The MLV “blocks” a bit of sound, it’s doing the hard work. The closed cell foam isolates the MLV from the body.
MLV is super expensive, but Home Depot has a cheaper product that works.
Is this just a general answer for all panels? When replying to a post it is best to use the quote option.
