dynamat
is replacing the sound insulation (not all, but most) in my car with dynamat worth it for sound and weight savings?
i heard somewhere that the insulation and rubber layers of the carpet r heavy..........any input?

its helpful, but you only shed a couple pounds if you put more deadening in.
I would still add some after removing it.
Second Skin products are much more affordable than dynamat stuff.

I used Dynamat in my doors. They are much quieter now and the Dynamat Extreme was very easy to install. I have always heard that the other brands either didn't stick for crap or smelled horrible. The Dynamat was a very painless operation.

Try to find some "Roadkill". I used it on my last car and it was great; Self-adhesive, easy install, half the weight of Dynamat, make the panels solid as rock, never came off

I noticed a lot better sound quality from the stock door speakers (BOSE system) after using the B-Quiet material as well as decreased road noise. It also helps the doors have a more solid sound when closing them instead of the "tin can" sound.
It's really a win-win with this addition.

DAMN...two 15" ??? Wow. I have two 8" JL w7s and OMG the bass is wayyy too much for the car.
Mahjik, you make good points. I do remember reading in the Dynamat flyer thingy that it improves sound quality. Something I'll think about/consider in the LONG run lol (I'm pretty tapped out right now...)

It was a show car. Way too much power to have on the street. I have an Infinity Kappa Perfect 12 sitting right next to my computer waiting for a new home once my FD sells.

But I'll tell ya this...had I not come across the FD, the ONLY car I would have considered (and would have prob. bought) was a WRX. Too bad the '03 WRX doesn't come as an STI...(i don't like how the '04s look too much)
