Well, I already have the wheel wells coated in about 1/2 inch of asphalt undercoating. I plan on doing the rest of my underbody with undercoating as well, so that should act as the low frequency blocker. I dont really want to tear apart my whole interior to cover everything with sticky mat based deadener so right now I'm just ripping open small areas to be able to stuff the jute sound absorber underneat my carpetting.

Is mass loaded vinyl a low frequency absorber? Could I just stick sheets of that in between the jute?

Right now I think most of the noise is from the engine and from the tires vibrating the whole metal frame. Strangely, the car feels more quiet at highway speeds then it does at low speeds.
