Are you installing a new stereo in your car. I've always wondered how not to spend a ton of money on this stuff. Here from the rec.audio.car FAQ is an alternative to Dynamat. http://www.NSMA.Arizona.EDU/~ianbjor/rac.faq/ Are there any alternatives for Dynamat? It's too expensive! In this question, "Dynamat" refers to all commercial products that are marketed expressly for reducing ambient noise in the car. Dynamat, Stinger RoadKill, et al. all have similar pricing, so this question is intended to give non-standard options. There is a material known as "Ice Guard," which is used by roofing contractors. It is similar to Dynamat, both in thickness and density. It is self-adhesive on one side, and seems to work very well. Unfortunately, it is sold only in large quantities (225 ft^2 rolls), and runs about $70 for this much. Perhaps a few people could get together for a roll, or it might be possible to get scraps from a roofing contractor. cheers, Bren ============================================================================ Bren Smith | 4 Orinda Way, Bld.
