[QUOTE="GoldCountryCA, post: 8865931, member: 690466"] I’m very far from a car audio expert; one only has to see my recent posts around here to know that. I am, however, pretty knowledgeable on cars and physics. I’ve restored and rebuilt quite a few vehicles. If you put something as thick as 3/4” mdf on your roof and floor, your carpet and headliner will not go back on the same. They are pretty tightly molded in most modern vehicles. You may be able to put it where the inner skin of sheet metal recesses towards the outer skin of sheet metal. Another issue would be mdf being outside of the insulated envelope. It may absorb condensation over time and swell or be subject to microbial growth. The biggest downside for someone like me, is the increased COG putting something as heavy as mdf up on the roof. Although, people are putting 400lb roof top tents on just about everything now, so that may not matter to you. I too, am a newb to sound deadening and don’t have facebook account, so I can’t see what the gentleman on that page is talking about with the mdf, only what I can picture in my head… [/QUOTE]
