I found a buch of dynomat look alike stuff on Ebay. Ive seen it some shops around here as well cant remember the name , but its cheaper and might be better than roofing mats. Fatmat is the name of it.

 

I can understand wanting to save money, but for christ sake, do it once and do it right. You can't expect to have a good performing system with sub-par system components. Such as roofing material for deadening. Just save and do it right with dynamat. Did you read the sound deadener test in the FAQ???

 

i've read other forums looking for opinions and i came across a couple of experiments with big name sound deadening products (dynamat, brownbread,edead, raamat, fatmat, etc). the same amount of people have problems with these as the people using peel and seal. also i know a couple friends who used peel and seal on their cars with great success. and when i say i cant save up for any more luxuries, i really cant because i'm starting college in the fall.

 

Not to sound like an ass but a car is a luxury, if you can't afford something, hold off, don't half ass stuff. I'm 20, in the same boat as you, and I pay for everything I have, save your money and do it right. Say you screw it up by using roofing material, are you going to have the money to fix the damage? Something else to ponder....

 

Amen brother.

 

Well if you really feel that way then go for it. It sounds like you already have made up your mind so good luck on whatever you try. I hope it works out for you.

 

Roofing material works fine for deadening floors. The adhesive isn't important in that application. Don't use it on doors or walls; you'll regret it when it falls off and gets tar all over your speakers and door panels. If you want to get rid of rattles on a budget, check where the rattles come from and just work on them, rather than deadening an entire door.

 

yeah i think i'm just gonna do my trunk for now since there is not as much possible damage the dripping tar can do. i'll go through the summer and see how it works... in the mean time, i think i'm gonna put some car undercoating on my door panels and possibly buy a baffle for the speakers.

 

One thing that will help a bit is to cut a 3/4 mdf baffel using the stock plactic as a template. It will help cut down resonance and give the speaker something more solid to mount to. Just be sure to seal it so water doesnt make it come apart. Quick easy and cheap.
