Did my speaker install and Brown Bread!

I installed my Polk EX602A for the front doors yesterday and also did Brown Bread sound insulation (thanks for the recommendation Mohawkboom). The combo is great, as there is so much more clarity and definition to my music now. Without a lot of the background noises, the music is just that much better... This is probably the best money I have spent on my car (aside from tires) so far! Thanks to all the guys here who gave me advice and help... it wasn't so bad, this is my first car stereo upgrade and it was well worth it.

70 sq.feet is enough for the trunk lid, sidepanels in the trunk and the doors..

but if your in the US. Raam60 is cheaper and works just as well and is less messy.

Cheers

That stuff looks Idenatical to Brown Bread..which is the same as Resisto Roofing matt..but with a MUCH better adhesive.. Going by the price.. FatMat is probably regular resisto roofing mat renamed without the great adhesive that Brown Bread has...

the adhesive has to bond well with the mat and surface your sticking it to as well as stay sticky under immense heat...$99+ Shipping +duty +excise tax and brockerage fees [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG].. Go for it if you want..maybe it's just as good or better. I just don't have an info on it so it's gamble..I can't vouch for it or knock it..
