Great Product July 9, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
First, I'd like to address Mr. Brady's 1-star review.
Road noise comes through the floor more than the doors! If you plan to leave negative feedback on products, please check that you application is correctly carried out. For road noise, line you floor first. For car audio, line the trunk and doors first. Then once your primary application is finished, move on to a more comprehensive application, i.e. "Dynamating" the remainder of the surfaces.
Second, Dynamat is an industry leader in noise dampening. It does not eliminate noise. With the proper application in mind it will, however, significantly reduce rattles and noise. This is especially true when the application involves eliminating rattles produced by the body once speakers that move more air than the original factory system are installed. Road noise dampening is another application that the product is well suited for. Please dampen the structures through which the noise primarily flows first - the floor.
Both applications dampen the noises perceived by the ear; the difference between the two is a matter of noise generation location. This is to say a car audio application attempts to deaden noise generated within the vehicle so apply the product in those areas with rattles, but the road noise is generated outside and mostly underneath the vehicle so apply the product to the floor and then to the doors is you have enough at the time. A comprehensive application would involve "Dynamating" the floor, doors, entire truck area, and any other noticed points of trouble depending on the vehicle type and age. Remember, nothing will make a VW Thing as quiet as a Cadillac CTS, but Dynamat will get it as quiet as possible for a reasonable price.
Waste of money March 31, 2008 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
I started with the speaker packs. I saw very little result. Then dynamat said, well you really need to do the whole door, so I did. $400 later, I still have as much road noise as before and I covered my entire door frame on all 4 doors.
Don't buy in to the hype. I know it sounds good, but the people who got results are just idiots who believe everything the are told. "Miller lite is good beer, isn't it Johnny? See the pretty women on TV, you'll get them too if you drink Miller Lite." "Duh... Yes... lite beer is good.."
LOT OF WORK NOT MUCH IN RETURN January 13, 2008 The dynamat does stick to everything it touches but that's about it. I used it in my van that I use to travel with my family and it did nothing but ligthen my pocketbook. It was a lot of work with removing door panels and I even lined the floor with it also but to no avail. I WOULD HOLD ON TO YOUR MONEY AND USE IT ON SOMETHING ELSE
Put a damper on it December 24, 2007 This has a lot of uses beyond car applications. I used a sheet of it on the drywall behind in-wall speakers to cut the amount of sound radiating through the back wall and tighten the sound. I used a sheet of it inside a computer case, to eliminate a tinny rattle that came from the case vibration while it was on. You can even put pieces of it on the inside of washing machine or dryer panels to make them quieter.
It does have one drawback, and that's the fact that once you stick it on something, you will not be able to get it off without making a big mess. It is essentially tar with a foil outer cover, and trying to get it off just leaves a bunch of sticky tar behind. So, choose the place you want it carefully before sticking it down!
