does anyone know if there is enough in a bulk kit of dynamat extreme to do 2 layers if i do from behind the front doors back,minus the roof? also that dynamat roof liner
( its like a 1/2 inch thick 2' x 3' mat) won't that be impossible to use on my car with a sun roof?
should i just do dynamat extreme? and would anyone recommend doing 2 layers on the roof?

It takes about 150 Sq. ft. to do two layers over the whole car...the dynamat extreme kit comes with 36 Sq. ft. You are probably looking at 75 Sq. ft. to do from the b pillar back.

Try www.fatmat.com it works just about as well, and it's much less expensive.

how much of a difference will 2 layers do than 1?

is fatmat as good or better than dynamat?

and how hard is it to do for a first timer? the shop i went to said there is an art to it... im assuming they just want to rape me for the cost of labor and the dynamat. they want $250 for the bulk kit.

onlinecarstereo.com has it for $170 or something for a dynamat bulk kit. i've heard they have an imitation dynamat... has anyone bought dynamat or anyting from this place and have any problems?

FatMat is as good as dynamat. And it's $99 for 100 sq. ft versus $250 for 36 sq. ft.

It's not hard to install...you peel off the backing, put it on the metal, and roll/cut out any air bubbles.

Go to www.fatmat.com and read up on it!

100 sq. ft of fatmat is only 34 lbs. I have 3 layers in my car...you dont even feel the weigh, it's the subs and amps and wires that weigh you down. Not like it matters....it's a slow civic no matter how much it weighs.

im not doing the whole car only the back half and i cant see it weighing any more than another person in the back seat...besides if i was going for a fast car i wouldn't have bought a civic

Dynamat is your best friend. ha, and it's really not that hard as Mystic said.. peel it, stick it, heat it, roll it.

It won't make your car THAT heavy, if you are into quarter mile times and what not chances are you would be just as worried about subs, box, and amps adding weight to your car. That's like saying to some chick, hey baby, my quarter mile time is a low 14 as long as your not in the car.....i don't think she'd appreciate it much. If you are looking to improve stereo sound/quality adding 2 layers of sound deadoner is no big deal, if you want something for the strip, you're better off not having ANY stereo in your car, or seats for that matter, or carpets, or panelling, etc....

Mystic is right, fatmats $99 for 100 square, it's about $124 shipped i think i paid last summer.
And two layers of fatmat is just as good as dynamat most have said and i'd agree from personal use of the two. I don't think dynamat is as hig priced as $250 for 35 sq feet, i think it's more like $150 for the 36 sq, i could be wrong though, but even if, fatmat is $99 for 100 sq, two layers being as good as dynamat means you pay $99 plus ship for 50 square compared to paying $50 more or so for 36 sq. Ok this is confusing so it must end.

check out b-quiet.com for more stuff. I like dynamat best because there is no smell and it sticks forever. It is heavy, though. I did one layer all around the car (everything) and noticed a difference. I bet I've got around 100lbs of extra weight in dynamat and audio stuff. It's like having another person in your car all the time.

I used about 3-4 boxes of 36sq ft Dynamat Exteme to do my complete trunk, quarter panels, rear deck and front doors.
