It had been awhile since I last ordered Dynamat, and apparently now, Sonic Barrier butyl damping sheets with foil backing are the way to go. Parts Express doesn't even carry Dynamat products at this point.
Today I received my order for a roll of the Sonic Barrier damping sheet material, and it looks good. I cut a test strip and stuck it to a woofer basket frame...works a treat!

I don't recall PE ever carrying Dynamat. You can get a from a zillion places including Amazon, Crutchfield and even directly from Dynamat.Political Correctness'.........defined

You may be right about Parts Express never carrying Dynamat, but it seems options for Dynamat in general have shrunk a bit...at least for the butyl foil-backed sheets/rolls. And when you find it, it's expensive compared to other options. Maybe a patent ran-out for Dynamat?I don't recall PE ever carrying Dynamat.

Parts Express has a 25sq/ft roll of Sonic Barrier for $60.
I found 36sq/ft options for Dynamat on Amazon, and at Crutchfield, for $160.

I've used Nioco 80 mil in cars with very good results. The Dynamat Extreme is probably a little better but us much more expensive. The Noico also works great on speaker baskets.Stan

I used this last time. It's a little thicker and much more tacky. This is way more than you need, but it is an alternative that does the same thing. I was able to buy a few sheets from my local car audio installation shop.

Shoulda thought that one over a little more first. "This may not matter to you, but it does to me for various reasons, many of them illogical or irrational, but the vinyl hobby is not really logical or rational..." - member on Vinyl Engine
