Question Sound Deading

Just pulled the interior out of my 2002 trans am. I plan of useing dynamat
and dynaliner. Does anyone know how much i should get of both?

I'm trying to ride the line of not to much and not to little. This is my first time doing this to a F-body.
Any help, tips or tricks? Would be very helpful!

Thanks, Mark.

You shouldnt pay more than $350 bucks, could be less though.

Buying Dynamat is like buying Apple, you are paying for the name when there are many FAR cheaper options that work just as good, if not better.

~75sqft of deadener and about the same for closed cell foam and mass-loaded vinyl is plenty. checkout sounddeadenershowdown (mlv) and raammat (deadener) + ensolite ps (ccf).

personally, i have 75sqft raammat and 98sqft ensolite ps installed already. this summer tho, ill be adding ~ 100sqft of mlv to finish off deadening my interior. i hate rattles from all my bass so im going the distance wit my sound deadening

Thanks for the help guys. Im useing dynamat because i've learned from my pickups
that dynamat works the best in the south texas heat.

I just got 64 sqft of light weight dynamat, 42sqft of basic dynamat, and 88sqft of
dynaliner. What is mlv?

Not really into mega bass drops lol Would like to drive my car for more than few hours
with out gettin a headache. Really just want to enjoy my car again. Weight really isnt
that big of a deal, it's not a drag car. Had a car just like this in high school so i'm
just driving around reliving the old glory days lol

Thanks, Mark.

MLV is mass loaded vinyl. It creates a very good boundary layer.

From my experience hushmat has worked best with heat, I've tried dynamat and every other major company you could name.

raammat has worked great in heat for me. even installed on the roof it hasnt peeled the slightest bit.

whatever you decide to buy, make sure the adhesive is butyl and NOT asphalt
