Dynamat extreme vs ???

Gold Member Username: SomedonniedudeIllinois Braaap MX Post Number: 2821 Registered: May-07 | I can get dynamat extreme 12sq ft for $38. has anyone used anything that is comparable or better than this for cheaper? or can I get more/better for my money 12sq isnt a whole lot. I don't have any experience with deader. Is the dynamat extreme good enough to where a single layer of it will do much justice? I want to get what I pay for and do it right the first time. It's going into a 99' ext cab ranger so I don't need as much as say a full car or suv. |

SD is 50 mils thick and Dynamat Xtreme is 44, although it is a supposedly better composition. But it is basically the same stuff and is way cheaper even with shipping. You could also check into Elemental Designs' eDead which is 45 mils but is only a buck a sq ft. You do know that 12 sq ft is pretty much one door right? |

Gold Member Username: SomedonniedudeIllinois Braaap MX Post Number: 2825 Registered: May-07 | How many layers would you guys recommend me to do in my truck and where at? it's a 99 ext cab ranger, will probably be running a single 15/18 on 2-3kw. Gonna be a daily ground pounder, i dont compete. i want to do it right and not skimp, but I don't really need overkill since i don't compete. If I was to use dm extreme or something similar would 1 layer even do me justice? |

Gold Member Username: SomedonniedudeIllinois Braaap MX Post Number: 2827 Registered: May-07 | I was thinking of deadening it before I installed everything, the truck is still stock and for now i will be running 1000w until I get a bigger amp. I should probably just wait to deaden it until I get some real power and play trial and error like you said lol. I sold the grand prix during the summer, the van went to the salvage yard, picked up the ranger over a month ago and was going to trade it for my dads ram but now I'm stickin with the ranger for sure. Hopefully gonna start my false floor tomorrow, maybe a box over the weekend, and hopefully by mid next week I have everything installed and be bumpin'  |
