Dynamat's good stuff!

[Spook50]

This stuff is AMAZING. I have no rattles, and my cheapy stereo system feels much more powerful (thanks to the fact that I'm not losing bass through all the sheet metal). the sound quality is improved overall a great deal. The LyTherm is outstanding for absorbing sound too. Sitting in it with the doors and windows closed is like having a conversation in a sound proof studio. I have yet to drive it (going back to Spokane tonight ), but I have a feeling this stuff is gonna be great on the road.

More to come...

Did you put it in all doors/tailgate/1/4 panels?

I was thinking of just the 1/4s for stereo improvement, but I did notice when on the freeway I have to crank the stereo more just to hear it over the road noise...............so maybe in the doors is a great idea..........

Put it on the inside of the doors. Put it on the floors. Put it everywhere.

Dont buy Dynamat. Go to the roofing supply store and dscribe it. You can do the whole truck for $100 with the bulk stuff.

Yeah it went everywhere but the floors. For that I had new carpet padding from LyTherm (LyTherm Max) that helps to block sound as well as insulate.

Just took it for a quick spin and it is amazingly quite. Only noise I could hear was a bit of the exhaust. No more hum of tires on wet pavement, no more wind buffeting the doors and mirrors, nothing. Along with doing that I installed a new head unit from Kenwood along with their iPod interface. My iPod sounds amazing with this stuff. I'll take pics once I get back to Spokane and upload 'em when I get a net connection figured out (I have no internet in the dorms I'm living in yet). This was well for the 800 bucks I spent (500 for sound deadener, 200 for the stereo and just under 100 for the iPod interface). Next up: Either the fuel pump or the steering knuckles on Halloween weekend.

What is this stuff your talking about? Came up with nothing while searching.

How are you guys putting the dynamat in the doors? Behind the window regulators? This sounds like a PITA given there's not much room to work with.

Spook- I was looking through the dynamat site and noticed they had a lot of different products. Which one did you use? It sounds like you had some nice results..

TIA-

Spook, what ever happened to the pics??? I want to do this to my 62 but I want to see how you did it first. Feel like writing a detailed process we can put in the sticky thread?

I'm waiting until the project is completely done before doing a writeup with the final sound level readings. I still have to spray more stuff in the wheel wells and install their Hoodliner that I ordered once my hood gets repainted next week. I think that'll help absorb the engine noise quite a bit for when I have my windows open.

I've still got all the pics I took, but haven't had a chance to sort through them and get 'em all organized.

PAFJ, I used Dynamat Xtreme and sprayed Dynashield in the wheel wells. That Dynaplate is for SPL competitions and not really for improving the sound inside your vehicle. SPL stuff is a completely different world then just quieting down our rides so we can hear the stereos better.

Thanks, I figured that was the best choice. You didn't by chance use the dynaliner on top of the dynamat did you? I'm curious because they claim that dynaliner doesn't absorb water, where as the dynamat doesn't say whether or not it does.

Neither one does, but you need to make sure you're applying the Dynamat over a clean dry surface so that it seals out contaminates like dirt, water, etc.

not hijacking, just offering more info...

i've been doing some research on different brands of deadener now for a while. i don't want to pay the premium for what dynamat charges as i think it's BS. just my opinion, of course.

i did find this site and it's been a good resource to someone like me and thought i'd pass it on:

anyone interested should look around and learn for themselves what people find after installing the different options.
