    I have used that stuff. It seems to work for the application I used it in. (Chevy truck audio instal). I was worried about the smell but none present. Been in the truck for 3 years now.

    Had a friend use it snd on hot days he says he can smell it pretty good and it didn't seem to give him the thermo break he was looking for. I don't know about the DynaMat but the wirez is 2.3mm thick and the difference in the doors and all the plastic I've stuck it to is nothing short of amazing. I'm really glad I spent the extra.

    I believe the stuff we used was Stinger Road Kill. I remember that after we pulled the headliner and did the roof, you could throw a set of keys on top of that Civic and it sounded like you dropped em on the concrete or something. It worked well, but it was very heavy. Couldn't really smell it that I remember.

    Finished cabinet install, A pillars done, kick panels and thresholds, started the dash. Did lots of sound deadner and foam on back of the panels where it would fit. Took awhile but I don't want to miss anything. It's apart might as well do it all.
    Also Installed Bluetooth microphone.

    Forgot take pics after the finishing touches. To excited to take it for a ride. Still need to find a couple seats I like and the cash to buy them.

    The difference in sound is AMAZING. I still have a few rattles from the cabinets over bumps but the difference in engine and road noise is 1000% better. The truck actually feels like it rides smoother, I know it doesn't, but the lack of noise and all the rattling made it seem so. No more earplugs required for sure and I'm sure it's quieter than my Volvo 780 was and that's saying something. In the future the cabinets will be dealt with. Overall, definetly worth all the hard work and $$$.
