    Rubber truck bed mat

    I took a rubber truck bed mat and cut it in. It was a pain but it worked out pretty good. It did take some heat to lay down. I see them on Craig's List about every so often.

    It might work ok iif you glue it to something stiff, or glue it to the floor itself. It has no sound insulation qualities, its basically a hillbilly floormat. for 12.00.
    That stuff is only good for .....speaker boxes???
    I guess, whatever your wallet allows...............
