Last time i went on it, it was so informative. Am I on the wrong site? What did they determine was the BEST edead/dynamat/etc? Was it fatmat or one of the like 20 others i forget their names? |
Gold Member Username: BernymacPhnom PenhCambodia Post Number: 4650 Registered: Sep-04 | Yeah the site did change from the last time i visited it as well. From what I remember, raamat was the best in terms of price/performance. But this was years ago. Some products have changed. More companies using butyl instead of the asphalt based material. |

Gold Member Username: Skibum12189Cleveland Post Number: 3189 Registered: Mar-06 | is there a "best" deadener right now? I am only buying a little so I don't mind paying a lot for it. raammat is still real good stuff right? |

The price of SDS products are very good and so far, every customer I have talked to has loved it. |

Gold Member Username: Skibum12189Cleveland Post Number: 3190 Registered: Mar-06 | very cool write up jacob. I have a 2000 cherokee so that was perfect. was the hatch hard to deaden? how much did you use? does it still stay open with the stock liftgate holders. |
Bronze Member Username: SundownzMooresville, NC USA Post Number: 54 Registered: Nov-06 | Yes - the hatch stays open fine. It was not incredibly difficult to do either. I only used one layer - just a couple of sheets of Damplifier Pro. Honestly - I didn't gain any SPL so I quit with one layer BUT it did take down the rattles alot in that area! |

Gold Member Username: Basebalz13Moneta, Va Usa Post Number: 1587 Registered: Aug-07 | he concluded that raamat was the bst for the money, but the best hands down, price doesnt matter was Second Skin Damp pro jacob has seen a large DB gain for such a little thing to do and so have I. I saw a 1+ DB gain just from sound deading not to mention having a rattle proof 150+ |
Gold Member Username: HdubbTeam Revolution Post Number: 4147 Registered: Nov-04 | ive played with a few deadeners....edead ue,edead v.1^2,dynamat extreme,damplifier pro, older raamat stuff (not bxt) asphault based. the edead stuff was usless in my install. the ue was just as bad as the v1^2. dynamat extreme is a very good deadener. if gotten at a good price well worth it. second skin damplifier pro IS the BEST deadener i have used. ive gained roughly 1.9 db from installing it on my roof,doors and ext cab area. the raamat actually suprised me. it seemed thin and maluable, but when i layed it down it did much better then i thought. if i had to choose, it would be damp pro, or dynamat extreme. |
