Dynamat

[Zee]

Anyone got experience with Dynamat?

Its a sound dampening product that is used for cars to lower noises and rattles and also gives a better music experience.

It can be installed in doors, floors, roofs, hood, trunk, pretty much everywhere to lessen sounds. (Like shutting a car door: it could help to just have a thud)

I'm thinking of fitting the van inside to muffle down the whole vehicle especially when the truckmount is running.

So is it worth it?? Have you tried it?

Do you think its a worthy expense to cover a van inside with the truckmount being in there making a lot of noise?

In what way? Where did you put it? What type of boat?

Yamaha 212ss - engine hatch and fuel hatch. The biggest difference is the higher pitch reduction, now we can talk while underway. Also "absorbs" vibration is the best way I can describe it.

Zee also keep in mind you will be insulating the van as well so operating temp inside the van will rise, not sure how much but it will rise.

In the engine compartment we have blowers to cycle air in and out.


On the v's we installed 1/2" insulation and carpet covered Masonite on all the walls along with marine grade rubber backed carpeting on the floors and it made a huge difference.

I used fatmat in my street/rod. very similar product but cheaper. can be found on ebay. the jury is still out on the performance. used closed cell foam pad in the butler and that works great. use to get vans spray foamed before instals but impossible with butler.

No question that Dynamat works, but next to Monster wire it is one of the most profitable products sold by car stereo shops. They deserve their profits, but I'd feel better if they were taking advantage of gangstas.

Do a search for "mass loaded barrier sheet" and choose one that won't absorb moisture.
