  • Dynamat?

    I've decided as one of my fall projects among others for my car, will be to dynamat the doors, trunk, and perhaps even the floor. After some research I've decided to go with something called Accumat. Now my question is, does anyone know how heavy this stuff is? Even a general idea?

    I can't say I have heard of that stuff off hand. Try their website. I know I put 4 rolls of normal dynamat in my trunk and they really where not that heavy. I was once quoted about $110 to do the full front doors on my car at mobile concepts for some of their higherend sounddeading material. If you want to go the cheap root check into watertank insulation as I have been told it works just as good as anything out there and is cheap (plus it is silver on the outside )

            Did it work well for this? I am quite interested in doing the same thing and just want to know if it is a waste of time or not.

              I defintely don't want anything that will stink. I heard of this newer stuff from Canada called b-quiet, and looked at their webpage yesterday. Actually looks like really good stuff, and is cheaper than any of the other ones.... plus it leaves no odor, and some people on the vortex have said it's easier to apply. If anyone else is interested in doing this, PM me, and maybe we can order bulk to get a discount.

                I thought b-quiet was just a brown bread distributor?

                I know you used to be able to get brown bread in bulk on eBay. So you could buy like 100 square feet of it or so.

                  After looking around on Ebay, I have found these possible bundles kor:

                  Accumat: 8 Sheets that are 27x24 inches. = $99 U.S. (plus $16 shipping)
                  Bquiet Xtreme: 100sq ft = $99 U.S. (plus $25 shipping and GST)

                    If someone were to order more than they needed, say enough for 2 cars, because its cheaper, I would split it with them.

                      I'll be ordering some this week, so if you would like..... we could split. I'm more inclined to go with the b-quiet, first and foremost because you get alot more. 100sq/ft is a ton of it, and would be more than enough.... plus I believe it is a touch lighter.

                      Let me know what you think

                          It sure did. It didn't quieten things down a whole lot, but it got rid of some of the raspy resonance at certain rpm's within the interior. And, it DID NOT stink. It still doesn't stink. It doesn't stink even with my car out in the sun on a 35C day. It's got a silvery backing on it too, so now my trunk looks kind of space-aged when I pull up the carpetting

                              Often if you call the suppliers you can get a discount on more... I already mentioned im down for 50...
