it would be in the roofing material section. it's asphalt based and you'll prolly want to heat it before applying it. basically with deadening you are adding mass to the panels to reduce vibration. you may need to use more layers of peel n seel then you would dynamat. it usually runs roughly $1 per sq. ft. maybe more

Peel and Seel *****.

You get it in the roofing department.

Some places have it, some don't. Go to Lowes.

If you want to spend a little more and get something butyl based I would go with this. http://www.edesignaudio.com/edv2/product_info.php?cPath=21&products_id=52

I myself am going to try this product very soon and see how it turns out.

have you checked ebay for dynamat. much cheaper than retail. or other alternatives, rammat, brown bread, things of that nature. go on ebay and search in the consumer electronics section under installation products. youll find alot of alternatives.

not peel n seel but i have used edead (when it was asphalt based) which is the same thing, different name. butyl based mat is easier to use and sticks better, but if you heat up the peel and seel, and maybe spray some adheisive on the panels you want to deaden, that'll help. also with this once you stick it, you can't move it like butyl based mat.

The only thing I would use is damplifier, but that's probably out of your price range.

Join the forum and you can get a discount, but you have to talk there for a bit. When you call and ask about a discount, he will give you one (5%-30% off). I would get that though. If you want to rid your rattles, damplifier is the way to go.

I paid $40 covered 65% of my doors double layered. I never used anything else but its night and day difference on how my mids sound. If you do a search for Hushmat you'll find that everyone who uses it likes it. It was easy to install i didnt use a roller or any thing, just smooths out with your hand, sticks good. Its took me less than an hour to to do both doors. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/goodorbad.gif.fe1f80382c74d93547176ee10a15b645.gif

Hello,

I just ordered *Sound Destroyer* on E/Bay,last night.Never used it/Heard of it.But they offered a "Buy It Now".It is $89.00/Buy It Now,plus $29.99 to S&H.I offered $70.00 and they accepted.It's 50~Mil thick and has Foil I believe a 3~Mil Alum..

It comes in 2/Rolls(18" Wide x33-1/' Long).It's suppose to come w/a Dynamat Roller/Instr. and a Sound Destroyer Utility Knife.

I'm gonna put 2/Layers on the floor of my '98/Saturn~SC2.If there's enuff left...I'll go and do the Inner Door skins w/a layer over the 2 reg.damp mat that's there now.The lady Marissa,is very confident in her products,and her feedback rating is 99%.She also has "80~Mil" Destroyer also. Like most people..I would have liked to have bought Second Skin/Hush Mat/etc..but $$ is Issue,so I went with this.

If you need the Seller ID name...I can reply here with it/ .All the Best w/ your System.

*Regards*

Raymond

The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of money saved is forgotten...

Go with the Dynamat in stead of the P&S

There are a bunch of other materials you can use. Whatever you do, stay away from asphalt.

has anyone every heard of or used FATMAT???? thanks

suxmat.

Dynamat is gay.

Second skin damplifier is the end of all deadeners, and possibly your wallet.

If youre looking for something cheap, eDead can get the job done...but I would recommend using a damplifier and spectrum spray combo.
