I have and I like it better than dynamat. It was much easier to shape and it wouldn't crack like dynamat often does. The adhesive is stronger. I've had problems with dynamat coming off after a few years. Not BB. It stays. And then the BB costs half of what dynamat does.

I got a deal on ebay for 32 square feet of dynamat xrteme for $95.00 so I bought it. Haven't seen it yet and it has been 2 weeks. All my emails are sent back trying to check on it.
Hope I didn't get taken.

I wouldn't use their plain Dynamat... but the Extreme version (mentioned above). The Extreme does not use any petroleum based fillers and doesn't have the smell probloem reported with earlier Dynamat products.

I used Brown bread that I got off Ebay. I think 70ft2 for around $100. Made a big difference for both road noise and preventing a lot of rattles when I added the two 10" subs.

How much did you guys find was needed for how much you did? For instance, I will be doing the entire carpetted area, plus doors, firewall behind dash, and top of rear area... may use spray stuff too?

I used a 70 sq.ft roll to do my car. I did all carpeted areas including the cargo area. Double layer under seats and foot wells and triple layer for the cargo area.
