Best to remove bulkhead on new van for sound deadening or not?

[mrbump]

Morning

I’ll be picking up my new panel van soon and will then start on sound deadening the cab and the rear.

I’m having an extended bulkhead fitted - my question is, is it better to not get the dealer to fit that bulkhead before sound deadening or is it no problem to sound deaden with it in place?

appreciate any advice

cheers

Why sound deaden the rear if there's a bulkhead? Sound deadening and carpeting the bulkhead would be the easiest, cheapest and probably most effective approach.

I will start with the cab yes but will use the van to sleep in occasionally. I’ll be having a floor fitted and carpeting the sides for work so it makes sense to do the back as well before that goes in.

so is it best to have the bulkhead in or out before doing it?

In that case probably easier with the bulkhead out.
