I ordered some Dynamat X-Treme, only to realize I'm going to need much more. I was able to line both front doors, inner & outer shell, as well as the trunk floor with a single layer. I was hoping it would make a noticeable difference, but not that I could tell from my quick drive around the block.

I was curious if anyone else has done a partial install, and noticed a major difference after lining the rear doors, and the floor. I'd like to get some feedback before I order anymore sound deadening.

Thanks!

 

I have put in 36sq feet so far (front and back doors, hatch the whole floor in theback) It made the stock stereo sound 100 times better and the doors actualy close all the way the first time now. The road noise has faded alot but I still need to do the floor under the driver and pass. seats. i am thinking of doing the roof when I do the head liner. How much did you get the bulk pack of etreme for?

 

I too purchased the 36 square feet kit. Of the 9 sheets, I have a little over 1 sheet left over. How did you manage to do all 4 doors and the trunk with the kit? Did you do inner/outter shell only? Did you only place it on strategic spots? I fully lined both inner and outter shell of the fronts, and only the trunk area under the spare and "cooler". The positives I've seen so far, is no more rattles when driving, and the doors do feel more solid. Please share your expereinces when you get around to lining the floor. I'll do the same if I beat you to it.

Thanks! Anyone else?

 

so far i have 68 sq ft or hat ever 2 of the bulf packs add up to mainly in the back floor behind the seats up in the rear quarter panewls hatch and rear headliner and a sinlge layer in the back doors and also i have used 4 cans of great stuff (wrapped everything in platic wrap first so it would bea alitlle easier to remove if need be and to queen bed foam sheets all in the back and in the rear doors bout the dynamat xtreme bulk pack from etroncis.com for 150 shipped here is the link http://www.etronics.com/product.asp?stk_code=dyn10455 super fst shipping to ordered on monday and had it wendsay night with basic shipping

 

is there any reason you guys went with dynamat over edead? just curious...

sorry it was to bulk packs so 72sq reet I guess.
I did the whole reer floor and the shells of all the doors with and most of the interior sides of the doors.

I went with Dynamat because I have had it for 3 years.(I was going to put it in my old truck but never got around to it.

I got mine for $150/a pack then and that was a super hook up then

 

I went with Dynamat because of its trusted reputation, and I didn't do enough research. By research I mean that I didn't realize how much of this stuff you actually need to thoroughly line the xB. I figured I'd pay a premium on a smaller quantity, not realizing I am going to need at least another 72-144 sq. ft., on top of the original purchase of 36 sq. ft. I am considering using an alternate material for the rest of the box.

 

u went with bynamat because i had some edead originally and ut kept falling off

 

hey question, just how much weight does this stuff add per square foot?

 

I think it is about 1-1.5 lbs. per square foot. The box weighed around 24 lbs. from what I can recall.

 

damn! adding a whole other person to the box's weight haha.

 

dynamat leaves that nice tar smell in your car in the summer though

 

I can not confirm or deny this statement. However, I believe this may not be true for Dynamat X-Treme. There has been zero smell so far, and it was in the 80's today.

 

hmm interesting, the cars that I've been near that were dynamatted here in arkansas, in the middle of summer, you could smell the tar from about 10 feet away with the doors/windows all closed

 

If you got 36 sq ft, and the box weighed 24 lbs, I'm pretty sure that is closer to 2/3 lb per sq ft.

Different deadeners have different weights based on the thickness and material they are made of.

 

You're right...not sure what was going on with my math when I posted. Thanks for correcting.
