I took advantage of the Labor Day sale from @Hothead Headliners, and I am SO happy that I did! I bought the full liner package, including the Sound Assassin and the side panels. It was immediately obvious how much of a difference it made with road noise and interior echo. I have the, "Premium", stereo, and I will tell you that I was extremely put off by how boomy and distorted it sounded with my hard top. Hotheads made my stock stereo sound like I had a new sound system installed. Seriously. In stock configuration, I had to turn the bass down 3 notches, and the treble and midrange up 2 and 3 to compensate for the hard top causing echo and reverb. After the Hotheads install, I have everything set back to factory center, and it sounds so much better! I'm not gonna say it sounds, "Good", but a serious improvement. I have over $30K invested into my home sound system, so yeah, I'm a sound snob. However, when it comes to vehicle stereo systems, I understand it's not an ideal environment, so I live with what I have, and don't invest money into making it sound as good as my home system. I will say without hesitation, that the Hotheads made a marked improvement, and I can at least live with it now. It's still not tomb-quiet as my previous F150, but, again, I understood what I was getting into with a Jeep, and manged my expectations. However, the Hotheads, again, really made it much more livable! This is one mod that I would HIGHLY recommend! Thank you Hotheads!

for the hard top causing echo and reverb
Yes, any sound damper will help. @Hothead Headliners has a great product and the strips help fill in the space in the top and you sound very excited for this new addition to your Gladiator.
Add armorlite and you'll find the truck closer to the F-150.

I just purchased the full kit with the sound assign strips and installed yesterday on a 2025 Gladiator rubicon. First off it looks amazing, the cab is 25-30 degrees cooler and the sound decibels dropped by at least 20. One of the best aftermarket investments to date. Plus a great company that supports Military and First Responders on GOVX which saved me a $$$$ off of the price

I also took advantage of the Labor Day sale and am patiently waiting for delivery. I am glad to read the positive comments/reviews.
