I looked at this stuff when I was shopping for sound deadener. It looks to be the equivalent of Dynamat Original and B-Quiet Original. Its priced around $1.55/sq. ft plus shipping. If you bought two pieces of this at $9.95 each and added shipping of about $5.00, you would end up with 12.9 sq. ft for $24.90. You can get an 18 sq. ft (1' x 18') roll of B-Quiet original for $26.99 delivered ($24.29 using PayPal). That works out to $1.50/sq. ft including shipping. Go to http://www.b-quiet.com/original.html for more info. You get more of a discount on larger rolls. Dynamat costs about 6 times as much as either variety, and its probably the same stuff only with "Dynamat" printed on it. I ended up getting a 50' roll of B-Quiet Extreme for around $65.00, its now $85.00 delivered ($76.49 with PayPal). The Extreme has an aluminum face which looks good and is easy to clean. I finally put some photos of the parts of the van I have done in my Yahoo! Photo Album at http://photos.yahoo.com/tjhannink - Go to the Vanagon Album, then to the B-Quiet Insulation Album to see the photos.

Installed 6 of these sheets last summer and it made a HUGE difference in noise. Self adhesive, cut in to form fitting pieces and stick on. Only thing you will need to do - if you sound deaden the rear hatch with a full sheet or more of this material you will need heavy duty rear hatch struts as the added weight will cause regular struts to compress. Why spend a million dollars for "audiophile" carp when this stuff is so cheap you can layer it two sheets deep? http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Product_ID=7082&CATID=35 and http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showprod.cfm? &DID=7&CATID=35&ObjectGroup_ID=37&OBS=10&Move=Next&Pcount=27&CurrentPage=1 --------------------------------------------- This message was sent using Endymion MailMan. http://www.endymion.com/products/mailman/
