Everyone on here hates it, 99% of them have never tried it. For the price, I use it a lot. I used it in my cadillac and gained a TON, close to 3dB when all was said and done. I was putting up close to 150~ and had ZERO flex. With the windows up, you couldn't here my car from 100ft~ away. Before FatMat, you could here me blocks away. I got 300sq.ft. for about $250~ back then. Had it on for 3 years before I got rid of the car, -20* and colder in the winter, 100*f + in the summer.

heres my 147~ run on music... 3 layers in the trunk, one layer on each door, one layer on the roof, 2-3 layers on the floor, single layer pretty much everywhere else. put up a 149~ after I cranked the gains and played a 42hz tone. That song (go to sleep) was around 38-40 hz I believe...

oh yeah, and 3 layers on the license plates. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

i put 2 layers in my xcab d50....did it for my audio but never got around to installing anything. its a 2.6 with header, no cat and a dumped flowmaster under the cab and before the fatmat it resonated really bad and there was a good ammount of road noise. after the 2 layers of fatmat and i stuffed the entire extra cab cabside with poly fill and it cut down alot of the exhuast and road noise. i plan on using it in my single cab mighty max....imo its easy to work with and i like it

You dont have to heat it up if you do it when its 70 degrees. I did mine and heated it all up and mashed it down just for good measure. But i hit 157s and it sticks good

Its easy to work with. Going by the books it is 66% as thick as dynamat and half the price. so you get alot more when you double layer for the same price. i bought 100^ft on ebay and it went a LONG ways

50 sq.ft should give me enough to double up on the doors and trunk

I did it outside in October, it was probably 65*~ and it was easy to work with. Main thing (as with ANY deadener) is to be sure you clean the surface really good before you try to lay it down.
