I was about to order edead myself just to see how it worked, but putting this stuff on ain't easy so i decided not to take a chance. I sure hope it works for the people who have it already though.

Sorry, I died for a couple days! I'm in the middle of finishing up the install as well as adding VHT to my tails. The sound deadening has helped out tremendously. I typically drive to Little Rock from Fayetteville (175 miles) about once a week. I can tell you that it made a HUGE difference on the Highway. The exhaust now has a much more mellow tone from inside the cabin. No drone at all.
It makes it a lot easier to have a conversation, also.
I'm only lacking coverage in the T-top compartment. Everywhere else has been covered. The doors were the most worthwhile IMO. It sounds like thunder when I shut my doors, not like rattles/clanks.
To those of you unsure of eDead: Remember there have been revisions made to ensure the quality is nothing short of superb. Don't let past (old) reviews stray you from an excellent product!

I couldn't stand having 2 boxes in my garage just taking up space. I was a little giddy to get it all installed... Just make sure you start with a plan. It will save sooo much time rather than just ripping everything out at one time. I DD my car, so I couldn't afford to be without it for a week or more. It has taken me basically ALL of 3 weekends to get to the point where I am currently.

Kind of like Sony, a lot of people hate on sony but if they came out with the best speaker in the world people would probably still hate on them because of past bad experiences.

Most opinions posted on said forum are based on an article printed in 2005 which compared the old asphalt-based product. Simply put, the asphalt-based core doesn't have the long-term adhering properties that the new product, which is butyl-based(the same as Dynamat Xtreme) has.

I got my eDead and started installing it today. I only did the trunk area, and didnt even do it completely, but I can tell you that my sub hits significantly harder. I'm happy with it so far. But man is it a bitch!!!

Let's just say my expectations have been far exceeded. More than worth the $ IMO.
It's not that the install is HARD. It's just time consuming, takes planning to get sections cut to proper dimensions, and can lead to headaches, bloodshed & blisters. It's all about taking your time to prep, measure & cut, the application is straight-forward: Peel, stick, roll.

I started at the front and worked myself back. First was doors. Then, I pulled the main-cabin interior & installed under the carpet. Just so you know, the entire passenger-area carpet pulls out without having to disconnect your amps in the T-top compartment. But, don't let a little wiring get in the way of what needs to get done. Just take you time when you disconnect everything & label your wiring if you need to. It makes it a lot easier hooking it back up.

BTW, check out FATMAT. I swear by this stuff. Like everyone says, take your time and do what must be done. Don't let a few wires get in the way of your sound dampening.

Here's my rammat, https://ls1tech.com/forums/stereo-el...ail-panel.html I also have a small piece of second skin damplifier (the best sound deadning company around today)laying around and about 40 sqft of rammat. It'd be interesting to get a hold of a sqft of edead and a couple other companies and do my own test on them.
