Does Dynamat really work??

ive never used ot, or even heard a car with it in it, my my MTX T6000's are starting to make my trunk fall apart and sound like i have rocks in my lid...my friend suggested dynamat, but i dunno (he's not all that smart, ran a 4wd explorer into a mud puddle and killed it (theres a ford for ya))

but before i even buy the crap, i would just like some feedback as to its actual ability to make me not sound like a poor white boy, shut up :-P

and i think im gunna install it myself cuz them sleezy rip offs at circuit city want like 35 bucks for installation....

plus, im almost sure its just my lid vib. so thats all i really should cover right?

also, if i do this, its not permanant is it?...i mean, im thinkin of gettin some sweet tail lights in the future also, this would hinder my ability to do that would it?

the more dynamat the better.
stops some body panel vibrations but not anything real big. that you need reinforcement. if you do decide to get a large area done let them do it. 35$ is nothing compared to the amount of hassle it takes to pry everything apart back there and then figure out on your own how to make it all fit right. they more or less know what they are doing... dynamat really isnt hard just annoying.

yeah, i got some good buddies to help me put it on, we'll figure it out....im used to sweating for hours over my car, i think it'd be kinda enjoyable, and i'd gain some much needed experience

plus, they wanted $30 bucks, which doesnt neccessarily flow out of my crack :-P

thanks for the input, we got a good ammount for an even larger amount of $ but hey, its an emergency, my 6000's just wore in and are POUNDING! :-D

I used dynamat Xtreme and loved it. Very easy to install but kinda pricey. Don't pay to have someone else do it. Take some time and plan everything out ahead of time and you should be ok.

Also check out RAAM Audio. It's hard to find, but it's great stuff for a relatively inexpensive price tag, and it's not nearly as heavy as Dynamat.
