    Caraudiodeals.com had very good prices when I bought some back in the day.

    There are different types of dynamat besides just the extreme version. There is one for use for like floorboards and whatnot, however you can use dynamat extreme as well if you want.

    Personally I put a layer of dynamat extreme on all 4 door panels and 2 layers over my entire trunk, sound gets out, but no rattles.

    The roof gets tricky as you need to take out LOTS of stuff, same with the floor.

    Personally if you REALLY want to do it right you need to line the outside of the door panel (going through the inner door panel) the interior of the inside door panel as well. That will keep the bass from rattling outside your door panels and help with resonance however if you have a nice system and crank it folks will hear it regardless however it will keep down the amount they hear. It also will eliminate lots of rattles.

    I dont mind hearing the bass from a car, but when the trunk goes BUZZZZZZZZZZZ, BUZZZZZZZ it irks me to no end :smile:

    I used to put down a layer and smack it with my hand. If it didnt ting as much, or sounded like a nice dull thud then there was enough material, if it kinda pinged I would add another layer.


    Now keep in mind I have a 125x2 amp and had a 400x1 amp and was pushing out around 120db in my car when I finally maxed out my volume. YMMV depending on how loud you get with how much you need.

    Start with whatever speakers are amped and a sub. If you have 2 speakers off an amp and 2 off the headunit, just do the 2 off an amp. If that makes sense.
    Just depends on how much you want to spend. I used 2 full dynamat extreme kits on all my 4 doors and trunks but I installed myself to save some cost.

    I've done my entire civic (except roof) with raammat. Highly recommend the stuff! Thicker and better than Dynamat Extreme and more flexible to mold it to curved floors and door panels. I did a layer of mat then glued a layer of ensolite on top of that. Mat kills rattles and vibrations, ensolite (closed cell foam) blocks sound. My sub hammers but barely gets outside the car even though my windshield wipers can't work during most rap songs. Haha.
