Tru2Chevy Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 Are there any sound-deadening materials out there that are relatively lightweight? Standard Dynomat and other things I've seen like it are pretty heavy. - Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritasz34 Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 Well it's not called mass dampening for nothing..There are a few lighter weight materials but they do not work as good as the heavier ones..It all depends on what you are trying to acheive.. If you are just wanting to reduce a particular buzz then only do that area..If you want to totally improve the acoustic enviroment then the best is to completely cover the interior metal surfaces.. I have around 300sq ft of sound deadening material through out my car.. Along with lead septum/foam pad as well as open and closed cell foams.. The best advice is to look into some of the spray type materials for dampening... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTPrix Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 For light wieght get some spray deadener. Not sure how well it works though, but definately the lightest. Drew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tru2Chevy Posted April 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Thanks for the help guys. I got a good deal on a box and pair of 10's to toss in the trunk, and I just want something to help keep the trunk rattle down. Dynomat is heavy and expensive, but this stuff looks pretty good. - Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And twice as cheap as dynamat when figuring cost per sq. feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CougarNut Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Go to your local Lowes and find the roofing section, there's a stuff called Peel and Seal. Works wonders... Same stuff as Dynamat, it really isn't that heavy, and it is 1/4 the price probably. 12 bucks for 12.5 sq/ft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
