Next I used a piece of the 1" SSP that fit perfect on the front of the bed. Don't forget the holes where the seat belts come through as well. Then I put the seats back in and used the 1" SSP to fill every void in between the seat frames and over the tool storage area.and used 2" SSP over the top of the air cleaner box. Then I pulled the side panels off and used a large piece of the 2" SSP and ran it front to back along the inside square frame from under the drivers seat and used the same stuff around the outside seat belt holes and gas tank. This was all done with the MLV SSP and contact cement. You need to take your time with this as there are many different shapes and stuff. Then I cut individual pieces and covered all of the plastic (on top the outside) under the seats. I did this on the back side (inside) so it was not visible. I removed the seats and covered all of the plastic from where your heals touch on up to the front of the seats. This stuff is a closed cell foam that is water proof - mold, mildew, gas and oil resistant. 3 LF of 1/8" MLV and 1/4" SSP bonded (MLV = Mass Loaded Vinyl) 3 LF of 1" SSP foam mat (SSP = Super Sound Proof) I can honestly say that noise is no longer an issue for me! I'm not saying it's a golf cart quiet.but it is no louder than anything else I tried.and quieter than some. I can have a normal conversation with the person next to me and have to raise my voice just a bit to talk to the person in the far seat. What I can tell you is this.Between the Hushpower muffler and the installed soundproof material, I now have the quietest Viking out there. We tried several products that seemed promising.so I took a bunch of it home and gave it a shot. I took my Viking to a local shop, that specializes in soundproofing, and challenged them to come up with a solution. However, I just finished my soundproofing project, and I am MORE than pleased with the results. I have tried a few things, and all have worked to varying degrees. I would say, and most would agree, that the number one complaint about the Viking is the amount of noise you hear in the cab.
