I still don't understand people. Just because it's magically sticking, means it's doing what it's supposed to.
Plain and simple, it is NOT as effective. Fact.

So I guess I shouldn't have used any deadener then on my front doors is what you are saying?

I should do a test with my mids in my front doors and then a test in my back doors since they are the same speaker size and my back doors are yet to be deadened.

Just closing them is night and day difference. They are heavier, and is more a thunk sound instead of a tin can sound in my back doors.

I may do this if I can find time, probably not. Not worth it really, but the fatmat works in my case, I don't care what you say.

Get Damplifier pro and call it a day.
Less layers = less work. I'm am still impressed EVERY time I install only 1 layer of Damplifier Pro on a customer's car... and how much of a difference it makes.

Other brands may be cheaper, but you will need to double up to make the equivalent of the Damplifier Pro...

Dynamat Extreme is just as effective as Damp Pro. Also just as easy to work with. Yes, Damp pro has a slightly thicker foil layer and slightly (not much) thicker butyl layer but I can guarantee your ears wouldn't tell the difference. Those 2 products are very close.

Our regular vibration damper , Damplifier is on par with the Dynamat Extreme sound deadening.

Second Skin Damplifier Pro absolutely destroys it.

Damplifier

.45 lbs psf

4 mil foil

Dynamat Extreme

.45 lbs psf

4 mil foil

Damplifier Pro

.65 lbs psf

6 mil foil

The "slightly thicker foil layer " you mention is actually 50% thicker. This makes a huge difference in performance. So does the exta 30% adhesive Damplifier Pro has.

I still don't see where the average person would hear a difference. Fact is, any deadening on a vehicle is better than NONE at all. So someone going from a new car to deadened new car wouldn't tell the difference between mediocre or GREAT deadening.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Dynamat fanboi. I actually wished I had gone with Damp but I got such a GREAT deal on the Dyna EXt that I couldn't pass it up. And I have to say I'm pleased with the results.

Yah i totally agree with you dynamat is an awesome product and it works perfect for my setup....Im sure damp. pro is even better at reducing heavy rattles.....like heavy bass....which means you wouldnt have to double up on deadener.....hence why its 30% heavier......Im sure second skin did their HW. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

What exactly is your point? You say your ears probably wont hear the difference, yet the Damp Pro is a better product, for less money. Regular Damp is on par with Dynamat Extreme for ALOT less money. Your ears may not notice the improved performance, but your wallet WILL notice the difference in price.

Nobody is suggesting DE is a bad product, but we are suggesting is far from a good value. I dont see anything you've said, factually, that refutes this.

Exactly as I stated in my other post. It was a value to me because I got it at a GREAT price. Therefore it WAS a good value to me. However, I also said that I was going to go with Damp Pro if hadn't got such a good deal. Now, what is your point??

I have used DP and xtreme with similiar results, the biggest difference for me is packaging. Xtreme bulk packs come in large sheets that are double folded, the resulting "wrinkles" are VERY difficult to roll out. DP comes in much smaller flat sheets and honestly you could rarely place an uncut sheet from a DP bulk pack because of the way the mats ae applied (what I mean here is because you are typically putting it on the inside skin of door panrels, curved areas, support areas, etc .. you will usually end up cutting it in 4-6" X 10-12" sheets anyway).

My point is you say its just effective, when even you admit its lacking. Even your follow-up reply to Ant is about the 'average person' not hearing the difference. Uhm... even if you think people wont hear the difference, say it with me.... its still cheaper.

That is my point... that yours makes no sense, as your super great deal on an inferior product really means nothing to the 'average person' or what they should buy. But thanks for your input.

What are you dense.?? I said that the avg person wouldn't notice a difference. Then I said don't get me wrong I'm not a hater on Damp Pro but I got such a good deal on Dyna Ext that it was actually cheaper for me at the time or otherwise I would have went with Damp. Not really sure where you got all confused or why you're dragging it out but just let it go.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

I also fail to see how Dyna is inferior. It's not as good of a value but is in fact a good product. It's kinda like the JL Audio of deadening. Sure you can find just as good for cheaper but JL still makes good stuff. Same applies. Thank you and good night.

 

[DDeitz 10+ year member]

Why not use Edead a ton cheaper and only slightly thinner then dynamat extreme your ears will never hear the differcence.

 

[oldschoolboomer 10+ year member]

I use dynamat xtreme. my ears think it is a good product however expensive.

Even after Dyna's inferiority has been explained to you, more than once, you still 'fail to see how its inferior'.... and you are asking me if Im dense? lol! Let me spell this out for you and any other extremely slow individuals who might be reading.... thinner foil AND thinner butyl equals.... inferior product... for more money.
I asked you this in my previous reply and you never responded... Why do you think your one-time 'good deal' on an inferior product has any relevance to what the OP, or any of us for that matter, should buy? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif lol Maybe you just dont understand what inferior means?

I also fail to see how Dyna is inferior. It's not as good of a value but is in fact a good product.

This is you: "Dyna is thinner and has less foil, but I fail to see how its inferior. I got a super duper deal on Dyna, lets go tell everyone!"

Get a clue.
