Dynamat

[th031300]

Does anyone know of a place where it is cheap or a cheaper alternative?

[djgizmo]

Yep, MCM

[djgizmo]

Correction, Parts Express.

[irupp33]

Ive always gone through wholesalers to get it. As far as an alternative ive heard of people using the rubberized roofing material found at home depot. Supposedly yeild great results, Ive never heard it personaly though.

[scrapin_honda]

i say as long as your doors and roof are shaking,why muffle it??

[irupp33]

Most people "deadin" there car for one of 2 reasons, It improves sq and in some cases spl. And too much rattles just sounds horrable from the out side. If you loud enough you dont need rattles to impress people. Eliminating road noise mightr also be a concern. Now flexing windsheilds thats a whole other story :D

[tphitterlude92]

well i have some and can get it for really cheap but i have to order alot...which i dont need..but if you want to do it a cheap way you can order some stuff or i think best buy has it its called road mat made by some stupid brand its in white plastic...heard it was ok but never heard it personally...

I don't know about you guys, but I dont "deadin" my ride. I do on occasion spell check my posts when I'm passing myself off as a professional box builder (http://www.tamparacing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=278954) just to make sure I dont sound "horrable" ;)

[scrapin_honda]

rattle sounds bad,not at 30hz.plus it scares the shit of people.and apperently you have never watched ur doors flex,or ur roof move enough to have dents in it.

[th031300]

No I have a 1999 Dodge Dakota and i took out the back seat for my sub and there is alot of road noise now so while the car is apart i want to do it right and also the cops seem to like to pull me over enough when i dont have a loud ass stereo. Also how much do you have to buy to get it cheap tphitterlude92?

[tphitterlude92]

well if i buy the wedge packs i can get them for 30, but i can get the "value" at 45 which i like two wedge packs in one big as box...but if you were to want more than that then i would have to call and make sure its been a while since i have ordered itNo I have a 1999 Dodge Dakota and i took out the back seat for my sub and there is alot of road noise now so while the car is apart i want to do it right and also the cops seem to like to pull me over enough when i dont have a loud ass stereo.

Ok so mabee deadin isnt the correct spelling but people slip up every once in a while. Lets also not question my skill as MY car is not the autozone special lookin neon lights, and pre fab crap ok. Stop dissing me and my work and grow freakin up! I have been nice up until now and im getting tired of it. TR is a place to come and talk about anything car related and be friendly. Not a place to come and be a sarcastic little snot nose punk! Sorry to get off track. To those who actually know what they are doing in the car audio world dynamat helps out wonders, No its not cheap but there are other alternatives. Its all about trial and error and a few trips to a hardware store. After all how do ya think people found the alternatives?

Oh i know what rattles can do and yes i have had my share of rattles. My current install does a legal 148.9 on the new termlab. 138 with only a 26hz test tone. I can flex my windsheild almost an inch... Rattles are cool but they do get anoying if theres too much. Like when you hear more rattles than bass. You can never 100% completly get rid of rattles. but you sure can try.

[scrapin_honda]

i think you have rattle and door flex confused.rattle is what most the people on the websites 2 12s n the back of their honda hatch do.door flex,is when you have 2 poweramper Xpower2 18,or 4 volfenhaug 12s(yes i said volfenhaug,a really good sub in a ported box)of an old school earthquake d2 shredder.that is what causes ur doors to flex a couple inches not rattle.

[djgizmo]

He was just trying to play around, jeez, taking things a lil too much to heart. Its just a flippin msg. Dalton is far from a snot nose punk. lol

Anyways, Yea there are altenatives. I prefer the good stuff that you have to heat up to form fit. Weight from dynamat will help prevent vibration and door rattles. Trunk rattle is another beast altogether.

Who ever said rattles are cool should be shot in the foot. Rattles don't prove anything accept how to NOT do it. a nice sounding car has little if any rattle.

Auto Zone?! Discount auto parts biatch. :roll: I do question your skill.. and your spelling.

[scrapin_honda]

just wondering if anyone of here claiming to have skillz can say that they work in a real shop,ie.not cc or bb.

[irupp33]

When your car is hitting high 40's and low 50's then you can question my skill. until then shut it. Go ahead and try to find any little mistakes in my spellin you want. apparantly thats all you have time to do any way.

[TBSpyder]

Nope, no one. :P

[scrapin_honda]

high40s??gee,my truck did a 147.1 playin music on the new meter so,umm yesi know what i am talking about.also,i worked at sound express n tampa where we were at world finals 3 years in a row,and Chris Audio for chris ford,who was a world champion in extreme 1-2,in 93.i have also worked at many local shops near me.so,how many 40 cube boxes for 4 15s have you ever built?? GOT JUGGS????

[irupp33]

Yeah my high 40's score was acieved using bottom of the line lanzar audio subs. were talkin $35 a sub cheap. I wasnt refering to everybody either because i know there are some decent people on here. 40 cubes hmmmm not for my truck personally. Biggest box that has been in there was a 32 cube box for 2 matts juggernaut 15's. Thats pretty much the biggest box to fit in my rodeo comfortably.

[scrapin_honda]

wow,32 cubes is a bout 12 cubes too big,but what would i know?o yea,i am a former member of team mmats.

[irupp33]

No 32 cubes yeilded perfect results, It was a multi chamber ported box. How about people who go with 50 cube walls for 2 beyon audio inhuman 18's? would you tell them there box is too big 2?

[scrapin_honda]

consi9dering i had a box for 2 poweramper xpower2 18s in a 30 cube box,i would.those specs came from ed eason,and there are maybe 2 people in the tampa bay area that can call him wrong.in case no one knows of ed.team earthquake,he used to run neck n neck with the bronco at world finals every year.

[irupp33]

Im just sayin the van i saw it in performed very well with no signs of free air. Ive herd of ed before and are you talking about alma gates bronco or the red one? (forget who owns that one)

[scrapin_honda]

almas bronco.i acutally have a bunch of friends that ended up with sum of almas subs.they are more bad than any other sub ive seen.

[irupp33]

She had the badass jbls right? Never herd em in person but ive seen the bronco close up just dont remember much of it. What ever happened to poweramper?

[GradeA_TireFryer]

just wondering if anyone of here claiming to have skillz can say that they work in a real shop,ie.not cc or bb.
i bet my skillz against any installer in tampa.. and i work at bb
i have done the spl thing with a 164.4 system 16-12's on 1000 watt system
In Colorado i made a great living at $800.00 + a week doing installs - part time

As i have stated before this area does not pay installers for shit - so i changed pofessions.. now do it for fun and $15.00 an hour doing simple stuff - and still get the discount

[scrapin_honda]

id be impressed if we hadnt had a car with 2 15s that used to do consistant 164s.if you were that good,you would work at devine sounds or sound express or e n e car audio,not best buy.

[scrapin_honda]

almas truck had the badass kicker original l7g.the truck is built for sq now under jbl and is less than impressive.

[canyouheminow]

My enitre roof and trunk have 2 layers of dynamat, before I had that done a lot of the pressure was being released in the roof, now my back windows almost push themselves out and my trunk alomst pushes off the latch. There's a little more rattling on the outside now but a lot better clarity on the inside.

[scrapin_honda]

ok,spl is not about clarity,its about being loud.and if u really were doing mid 50s out the trunk,ur trunk wouldnt be rattling.and dynamat absorbs sound too.

OH I'm sorry, I guess I know absolutely nothing about my own car. You obviously know everything there is to know about car audio. So everybody if you have any further questions screw best buy, circuit city, or any other audio shop just come ask this guy, cause whatever you thought you knew was wrong, cause this guy has all the answers about everything audio. I don't care if the head tech for every brand of car audio tells you something, screw'em they're wrong. Just log on here and this guy will tell you every excact answer, and don't dare second guess him either.

[tphitterlude92]

man you guys are getting all out of control with this, simple question about dynamat and everyone loses their temper and argues...this is funny please keep going...LoL

[scrapin_honda]

actually most the guys at ur local cc and bb dont,so that is accuraqte.lol.do i know everything no,but i do have more db drag experience than any bb or cc person.

[93ex]

How did this turn into a dick measuring contest?

[Notladstyle]

my dick is definitely bigger - they are just competing for second place.

[mbanks21]

I wouldnt exactly go to CC or BB for technical advice...

[scrapin_honda]

what kind of fag has that kind of fag dancing on his messages.

Thats ur brother...i think its funny...and so does everyone else...What kind of FAG has a name like Scrapin honda...how fucking cool is that? Why are you thinking about FAgs anyway?? You interested in one...Hit up TF

[Slimnplatinum]

:serious: Is it that damn bad?...I use my brain and you have a piece of shyt Eclipse, think about it...I'll leave it at that

[TBSpyder]

What kind of FAG has a name like Scrapin honda...how fucking cool is that?

Yeah, because a name like "Slimnplatinum" is so much cooler..... :roll:

[Slimnplatinum]

Hey kids your Keyboards are becoming hard asses...why dont we get back on subject here...Gloveman I dont know you and you dont know me, Im glad you do Modifications and you do them well, I guess...let me be me. i think I have a good thing here...if its a knock off and its better...great for me:D

[Slimnplatinum]

by the way thanx for the new sig TB

[Bumpin Expo]

i say as long as your doors and roof are shaking,why muffle it??

WOW Typical newb response, where the fuck have I been all these days?

First off, if you own a honda and have a decent system...I hope do god your deadening it because hondas sound like complete ass with undeaded trunks. ESS. if its "scrappin"

Sound deadening not only increases SQ and spl, it also helps you from looking like a dumbass when driving down the road. What if a car drove by with his system blaring reggaeton and the trunk the going ZzZZzz ZZZzzzZ outta control? Not cool.

My trunk on the other hand has 4 layers of edead on the rear hatch and 2 layers of edead everywhere else. I have little to no rattle and just loud bass. If your gonna do it, do it right

[Bumpin Expo]

actually most the guys at ur local cc and bb dont,so that is accuraqte.lol.do i know everything no,but i do have more db drag experience than any bb or cc person.

I beg to differ

and what are you runnin in your trunk thats so hardcore?

[Bumpin Expo]

Yeah, because a name like "Slimnplatinum" is so much cooler..... :roll:

Cu cu cuz they call him Slim Thugga, platinum ice like no toha

[scrapin_honda]

hey einstein,i have a wall,not a trunk rattle problem.in case you havent learned yet since your an spl expert dynamat absorbs sound,doesnt increase spl.newbie maybe you kould say,but definately more db drag expereince than bb shows.lol.

[93ex]

Really.. This is out of control.
