Question for people who used denisty adding products - Honda Forum / Acura Forum

2000Accord · 04-19-2003, 09:58 PM

Ok everyone out there that has used anything to add density to their car for the purpose of reducing the amount of rattling in your car. I need your help making a decision, I obviously need something to reduce the rattle because the simple dual 8”s are rattling my damn car to pieces. While driving the car it drives me crazy, and from the outside do not even get me started. Anyway, I know there are all different type of products including spray on and then rolls of products. Also from research, I have learned that many companies sell items just like Dynamat but for cheaper. What I would like to know is the following

1. What product/application have you used?

2. What were your results?

3. Would you recommend the product?

4. What did you pay for it and from where?

5. Any other comments about the process

i've used spray one it doesn't do much. get something like raamat or fatmat. I have Raamat it was easy to put on and didn't even stink too bad.

Thanks, anyone else have any experience with breadboard or other products like dynamat but cheaper? If so can you post a link to their site?

Thanks

I use Raammat also. Its really easy to slap on. I had great results with raammat, the rattles completely went away except a few occassions when my sub plays higher notes.

Yes I definetly recommend this product. Its price/value ratio is outstanding.

I payed 100 bux at his site to get this stuff. Or you can check out ebay.. his user idea is Raam.

No other comments besides that this stuff works.

ive got fatmat and purchased it off ebay, but i have yet to see if my rattles went away since my system is still bein put together, i payed like 150 shipped for 100sqf

How was fatmat to apply? Was it hard to work with or get to contour to the skelton of the trunk or other places?

Recommend RAAMmat60. http://www.raamaudio.com
Paid about $87 for 62.5 sq. ft. Self adhesive so no heat gun necessary. Works great. IMO, every bit as well as Dynamat without the outrageous cost. Some pics on page 2 of my sounddomain link (in sig).

Did the raamat get rid of most of the rattles? Did you just cover the entire trunk? How hard was it to install the entire setup?

Thanks for the help

to me, it was hard cuz i put it on in the winter when it was 20 degree's so yea, i had to use a heat gun, should be easier now since its spring and such

go to home depot for some peal and seal... the stuff has a slight smell which goes away on it own...

for $13-$20 a roll... it cant be beat.

I've tried Dynamat extreme... very very good stuff with a high price tag

and I've tried Edead Version2 sound deadener... good stuff.. but needs to be heated when the temp. gets cold..

k67p67 · 04-21-2003, 08:46 AM

The RAAMmat pretty much eliminated all the rattles. I had wanted to do the inside of the rear bumper as well because it still rattles but I'm too lazy. Application was pretty easy. You just need to be patient. That stuff is sticky as hell.

About how many layers of each different product did everyone install?

That's trial and error bro... it depends on your car's internals.. and about how much SPL you're pumping out...

I personally for my front doors on my accord.. which is running Koda6 comp set I needed a good 4 layers on the doors

With the 12 inch sub running only 250 watts I needed just a single layer all inside the trunk and rear deck.

Expect more layers for the bass players in here

k67p67 · 04-21-2003, 11:55 AM

Really depends on the rigidity of the surfaces in your particular car. Hondas in general have pretty flimsy panels. It may take a few layers to add enough mass to reduce the resonant frequency. I put 3 layers on the underside of my trunk lid.
