ok thanks emporer. would you happen to know how much square feet the trunk is and would i need to do 2 layers or just the one layer

EmperorJJ1

up to you.

think of it this way normal damplifier is similar to dynamat extreme in thickness and the pro is roughly 50% thicker.

100% full coverage on the entire trunk and lid would be the 36sq ft bulk pack (you would have extra but you can double up in the important places like the trunk lid and wheel well and possibly do the top of the rear deck as well as the bottom)

HushMat works pretty good as well (IMO)
Its cheaper and easier to work with (than Dynamat)

rating all the deadeners mentioned

Second skin damp pro
second skin damp
hush mat
dynamat extreme
fatmat
bquiet
dynamat original

(i forget which one is better in terms of the fatmat and b-quiet but supposedly they are both iffy. i thought bquiet was better then it is for a long time due to the brown bread tongue twister they have going on)

dynamat is cheap..... if you work for best buy its like 180sq ft for 50 dollars

EmperorJJ1

iTrader: (5)

well most dont work for bext buy and i sorta doubt that price regardless

2WILD4U

when i work next i will do a price check.. but i am pretty sure thats what the mobile tech said.

agitator

im still debating what to buy.. when i compare everything.. dynamat is cheaper cuz u do get alot more in sq footage.. i forget which one it was but u needed 2 different things.. some liquid stuff then a mat just to install it.. thats to much labor

EmperorJJ1

how is dynamat cheaper? damplifer is comparable to dynamat extreme but has a thicker foil layer and you get 80sqft for 4 dollars over the price you posted for 30sq ft. thats almost tripple the product

damplifer pro is a thicker better product then dynamat extreme that you get 6sqft more for $30 less

best buy discounts in car audio are about 50% of the retail sale price, i worked car audio for about a year. so if you buy car audio from best buy you are getting ripped off unless you get an employee discount.

25sq ft of the fatmat cost me $44.98 shipped ups.

agitator

thats not the one where u need to put down a rubber coating then the foil is it? im goin to check i tout

EmperorJJ1

no what kind of bullshit is that? never herd of it done like that. second skin is just a single mat product that comes with the foil & butyl together

Emp that could be true, BB employees get everything for 5% above cost. my buddy wors there and a 2 amp install kit from rocksford fosgate costed me about 15$ normally is like 140$.

EmperorJJ1

ya normal dealer cost on that kit is like 100+ shipping so figure bby gets it at half off it should cost them 60 bucks. but bby tends to give stuff away as prizes some times and bby employees tend to make things disappear sometimes

i can garantee you that install kit is more then $15
