Anyone here use it to sound deaden a C4 cabin? I'm looking to cut down the drone and resonance a little more behind my seats but I don't want to drop the coin on Dynamat.

i have used products called diamplifier-pro, and overkill. they were less expensive that dynamat, and from comparison testing, slightly better. it took 80 sq ft to do the inside of my 85. it did make my 85 seem more solid - less tinny. it did quiet down the car slightly, but i was expecting more. overall, not bad. if you want to look into these sound-deadening materials, try - http://www.secondskinaudio.com/ -

a couple shots of my 85 -



there's a new theory on what i did (to cover the entire interior of my car). i recently read that anything over 25% is a waste of time and money. i don't know, but nowhere does it tell you where the 25% area is, or what part of the car - ???

note - all that stuff did add about 40 lbs to my car.

Jeez, Lowes is down right now. I was on the insulation aisle today and spotted probly what yer talkin about. Didnt have time to look at it, I was loading out for a job. I will look closer when I have time. Thanks for the info.

The SecondSkin looks good but is probly as pricey as the other product. $459 for the "Vette kit"
