Does anyone have an opinion on using Dynamat as far is worth it to use or not? Does it really make a difference I am installing 6.5 component speakers in the front doors and I saw the other day a precut piece of Dynamat that is made for installing door speakers. Also has anyone used the CL-441 Clean sweep from JL Audio I was wondering the cost and if it works good and does what it says.

i have no experience with the JL equipment but i use a form of dynamat and it makes a helluva difference. when done properly, you reduce the annoying vibration coming from the doors, increase the midbass output, and generally makes the car quieter. i would definitely recommend it if you plan on installing components and amplifying them.

BUT don't buy Dynamat. It is waaay overpriced. There are similar, and better, options for sound deadening available, for less money.

Dynamat works. There are cheaper alternatives that basically do the same thing. If you're gunna be installing components you definitely wanna dampen up those doors. If you wanna dish out the money for Dynamat go for it. I use Peel n' Seal, which some people have a problem with, though it's really the same thing as Dynamat extreme.
As for the JL Clean Sweep..it's pretty much the best option for anyone wanting great sound with their factory unit.

yes, the midbass will improve and the rattles will die...

I think that clean sweep is somewhere around $200+ but well worth it IMHO

i've heard peel n' seal and other asphalt based deadeners can put off dangerous fumes and have lower heat resistance.
http://www.secondskinaudio.com is alot cheaper and i belive slightly better than dynamat.

Sound deadening is the biggest bang for the buck upgrade you can make IMO.

Plus when you have the carpet and seats out you can power wash them and let them sit in the sun for a day while you're laying down the mat... So not own does your car SOUND better, but it LOOKS and SMELLS better too!
That's what I'm going to do here pretty shortly... I'll probably use second skin or that cascade or whatever its called (kiki uses it I think?)
