I am getting some dynomat like material from a friend who installs generators for a living. The material is used on the insides of the generator covers to keep the generators running quietly. I am going to get a box full of this stuff. I am not sure exactly how much. Anyway, I wanted to know if anyone can give me some advice about installing this stuff and if anyone has any advice about where I should start my installation.

pick a spot and start just make sure u have the right tools to do it
a good roller
heat gun
and a case of beer (or pop if your underage)
and alots of time
and also check the heat ratings on the stuff before you put it on, you dont want it falling off during the summer. Anyone know how hot a car actually gets? Wasn't it like 180's or something? Not really sure, don't quote/flame me for that.

whatever it was, i heard it was damn hot....180 sounds about right....when u apply it, use a heatgun, and have a good solid roller. If u have any air bubbles, pop them and keep rolling....
I thought that installing dynomat was simply a process of using some sort of spray adhesive and sticking in inside your door panels, under you carpet, and under the trunk lid. It sounds like it is a more complicated task than I thought. Can anyone explain the proccess required to install dynomat material?

all the dynomat i have in the garage has its own adhesive on the back with a film you remove and then stick the mat to whatever you want to be quiet or cooler. This usually requires everything mentioned above.
THe stuff you're using should be fine as long as it is a tar-based product like Dynamat. As far as placement I'd recommend starting with the trunk, door speaker openings, and the rear shelf where the 6x9s are. Depending on what type of system you're putting in ,that usually does the trick but if you do a system like I did in my SQ/SPL car, you'll likely end up doing the entire car. My entire cabin from floor to roof firewall to rear seat pan is covered with a solid layer of Dynamat (behind B pillars is 2 layers), the inside surface of the outer door skins is covered with Road Kill, and the entire trunk is also covered with Dynamat. I also put Dynamat behind the rear license tag, under the deck spoiler, everywhere there was a rattle.

No, I am not talking about the spray in foam. These are sheets that look like some sort of styrofoam. One side has a shiny, reflective side, and the other side is like matting that looks like a cross between rubber and styrofoam or sponge-like. Anyway I guess I just need to take a heat gun to it to get it to stick to the places I am installing it.

Get the name of it and post it.
