I just wanted to know what everyone is using for sound deadening material. I know the big brand dynamat that a lot of people use, but Im on a budget right now.

Here is a product almost identical to dina mat but at half the cost. I used it on my 300 and loved it. I found it on ebay..... free shipping. It took 50 sr ft to do the floor boards front to rear, A knife and roller is included, all you will need is a good heat gun.

For the top and inside of door skins you can use a foil backed bubblewrap product that can be found cheap at most big building supply stores.

That looks really good. I've seen the rattletrap and fatmat stuff on eBay before and didn't know if anybody had any good results with it.
 
How did it turn out for you? Did you notice a difference?[/QUOTE

I'm very happy with it. Sound deadining is diffacult in a convertible but I get no road or exhaust noise through the floor pans and it gave the car a more solid feel. Also improved the heating and cooling.


I used Rammat and Ensolite (http://www.raamaudio.com). It made a world of difference.

How long did it take to install?
 
Here is the stuff I am currently installing and have used it in the past also. Very easy to install. http://www.b-quiet.com/extreme.html

Hey Mike, I've used tons & tons of "rubberized" asphalt & it sticks 1,000 times better if you use an asphalt primer. Maybe these guys have enough solvent right in the product but then it would have a pretty short shelf life, I think.

I was a roofer for 2 years when I was in college. This stuff is different, it has some forgiveness unlike the roofing material, which I never was able to install myself. It is easy to install because I just cut it up to fit and not have to worry whether it is going to leak in my living room. I don't know about the shelf life, I have always used it right up.
 
I used hushmat on my Vette. It really made the car quieter and gave it a more solid feel. I put reflectix insulation from Lowes on top of that. I held the reflectix down with aluminum tape.

Reflectix is basically bubble wrap with an aluminum foil on both sides. Great stuff.
