my old friend was a audiophile and his chevy s10 had some extreme bass..well it rattled and sounded shitty, til he put on a nice layer of dynamat on the inside..no vibration just nice boom. I'm sure it would work just as well for your hatch as it did for his truck so i say go for it.

i was thinking of doing dynamat (well not necessarily 'dynamat'.. i was thinking brown bread or fat mat or something) under my door panels and in my hatch cuz im gonna be getting my sub in soon.

i think i may just skip it and see how bad it rattles. i think my sub will pound so hard that i wont be able to hear much. my car rattles like crazy with just upgraded speakers...

the less road noise you have the louder you speakers will seem. only on the inside though.

has anyone here put some sound deadening material in their 4gen? results?

i just ordered 120 sq ft. of edead (developed by elemental designs) and also a gallon of secondskin audio's new sludge. once i get this installed i'll let you know how much of a difference it makes..........

sounds good.

i got 40 foot of edead and after 3 months it came off just one hot day and dynamatt is wroth the money it stay's up and its easy stuff and i think it works way better to. i have been doing systems for 5 years and building box's soo i know about the car audio world.

thats scary, but i am almost positive that with proper preperation and a heat gun it will not come off..........

Hey all I have an 1988 CRX Si I bought a Dynamat trunk kit $60.00 well worth it, installed it about 2 1/2 years ago. applied it over the entire bottom of the car in the back, 60% percent of the walls & some of the rear part were the storage bins are.

Im running 2 punch power dvc's about 1000rms 2 each sub, the only rattle I get is a little from my license plate.

So to sum it up it is worth it.
I still have to do the doors & the roof & the firewall.

After that It should be as quite as a church & should be able to hear a mouse fart!

i agree 1000 percent.. noise dissapeared after i put some dynamax around my trunk. the only thing is that its heavy..adds up weight to your car.

I've been told by two dealers around here that they wont sell dynamat because when the weather changes alot of the time it fall off. So basically if you put it on during summer it falls on in the winter vice versa

use an adhesive, you should use one anyways

[smokeymicpoter56]

what you think is going to keep that stuff on edead is just not as good as every one thinks i have used half and half. the dynamat didn't come off i can't even pull it off the edead just comes off and yes i put it on right i heat'd the hole car and the stuff i had 4 2500 watt heater's.

My father used Dynamat in his S15 when he was big into car audio. He swears by it. I'm kinda not sure if I'm going to keep my car yet, but I just got a sound system in it and may dynamat the entire thing. (Thinking about a hatchie, if I go that route I'll do everything to the hatchie and sell the sedan)
