How much Dynamat

[Jeff06 10+ year member]

I have a 2001 grand am 4 door SE, and I plan on putting dynamat in my trunk. I want to put it all over my trunk not just on the top like most people do. About how many Sq. Feet will i need to do my entire trunk? 12ft 36ft 50ft? or just buy a trunk kit?

Oh, you'll need a whole lot more than 50sq ft to do your whole car. There's pretty much no limit to how much damping mats you can apply onto a car, up until the panels don't fit anymore.

In reasonable terms, a single door can take about 15~20sq ft (inner and outer panels). The floor will take a whole lot more, the roof will not take as much as you'd expect, and the boot would again be quite a bit.

If you want to go all out, buy about 200sq ft of damping mats and see where that takes you. It's always better to have a lil extra to apply double layers elsewhere, rather than to fall short in the middle of working on it.

Lastly, there's no reason for you to choose dynamat, cause there are a whole lot more companies you can choose from that are cheaper and give similar, if not superior performance. unless you're sponsored by Dynamat. In which case, you wouldn't have asked this question, so I'm going out on a limb here to say you're not.

Look into other makers.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

he was actually juzt wanting to do his whole trunk not the whole car. i'm gonna say about 80-100 sq ft to do your trunk, the floor being the biggest area w/the spare tire well and all.

Still.....look into other brands before deciding.

Looks alright. You do realise it's not dynamat, right? The way he phrased the item makes it SEEM like dynamat extreme. THink I heard some people use D-quiet with favourable results.
