I realize more then a hand full probably have but i'm looking for a wright-up or something. Or just some picture of it being installed. Where did you put it? How much of a diff does it make speaker wise? Road noise wise? Engine wise? And even closing your door? I'm really looking at doing this because i personally can get this stuff cheap through my friends shop.

I've got a bunch of stuff that's exactly like Dynamat Extreme, but without the Dynamat logo and the outrageous price. I've got about four to five layers on my trunk lid and underneath my rear deck. On top of the rear deck and on the side walls and bottom of the trunk, I've got two layers, and on the back wall of the trunk, I've got about three layers. On the front doors, I've got a layer on the backside of the door panel, and one on the inside of the door. It has made a huge difference in the way my car sounds. No more rattles, and you can hardly hear my system outside my car.

Ahh bro never use dynamat or anything like it, the best thing to use is a bedliner spray.
If you need to fix a rattling quick, stick a towel near that area =P I had to do this when I entered my first competition, the plastic in the hatch rattled against the metal, so we used a towel to eliminate it for the comp Seriously though I would recommend using bedliner to anyone who is planning on building a nice sound system |

i was reading on some of the Audio forums and they were talking about some stuff called Peel and Seal which is used in roofing and they said that it was just as good as Dynamat exept that it cost near to nothing compared with the Dynamat.

I used dynamat and it worked great. First i cleaned my trunk with some cleaner and than layed it all around the wheel well and on the sides of my trunk. I had great results and the rattles went away. I highley suggest you get it or something similar

Like TRDracerGT said clean the area well. Then for best results get some heavy leather work gloves and a heat gun. Dynamat and similar products get soft when you heat them up. I like to get it so hot that it's almost hard to handle with gloves. When it's this hot it sticks better and forms to all of the curves.
Someone said they had problems with Brown Bread. Personally it has worked very well for me. I think the heat gun maybe the trick. This post has been edited by AudioFreak: Dec 18, 2003 - 11:02 AM |

i was in the hardware store and saw some of this thick rubber roofing stuff. it looked like it would work well at blocking sound. it was about 40$ for a huge roll.
