Who uses dynamat and how much do I need?

[audioholic 5,000+ posts]

thats the whole thing though.. it really depends on how many layers of the higher stuff it would take to get the dampening you want then you would have to do like 2 times that with the cheaper.. Like i said.. I wouldn't use it but if you are looking for a cheap flooring go for it.. If you can deal with the curing smell be my guest.. that reason alone is enough for me to say no thank you.. I use dynamat extreme but that can get expensive.. Luckily my new setup will fire forward so all the trunk lid mat is getting moved forward.. ya thats right.. I recycle!! cut my hands up pulling it off it didn't want to come off..

From the research ive read, it would take more than 4 layers of asphalt mat like fatmat to equal one layer of a good butyl mat like damp or damp pro. Knowing this, the cheaper stuff doesn't seem like such a good value, does it?

So butyl>asphat?

Butyl is far superior to asphalt. Someone else already posted it, but I guess you didnt read it... check this out: http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com

No I did read it. Just I didn't read it all before I posted that.

I think I'm going to get second skin.

80 square feet should do it right?

How much depends on alot of factors. Break out the measuring tape and you should be able to get a pretty good idea how much you want.

Time to get the measuring tape out.

Rattles
I can hear shit rattling in my truck, for example the sheet metal on the back of my cab rattles and I can hear it inside of my truck.

I'd the Firewall, possibly spectrum first and use some of the foam products. Best thing to do is call Ant from Second Skin and ask for his advice. Great guy and he will help you out and will not oversell anything.

I wouldn't use it.. I have seen it in action.. chill your roll forum pimp.. acting like the know all.. It adds weight and holds on the floor just fine as it has no where to fall from and it doesn't have to hold its weight up.. and if you can get it for pennies on the dollar to other stuff then do for your floor.. and get the goods when you want it for doors roof etc etc

Forum pimp? Haha. Acting like the know all? Actually, I do know what I'm talking about. I'm talking about direct experience with several different kinds of deadener. I go off RESEARCH as well, not opinions. When I speak and provide input it is because I know for a fact what I am talking about.

I'm not claiming to be a know it all, but it comes to this subject, I do know quite a bit. Let that settle for a bit.

I don't think I'm going to do the hood yet. I was thinking roof, floor, doors, and the back of the cab below the window.

Yeah I was just giving a reference point. The hood itself will take up about 10 sq. ft. And if you plan on doing the rest of the vehicle you could get a general idea how much you need.

If you plan to go with Second Skin as you stated, just call up Ant.
