Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Dynamat

I'm going to get some dynamat and was wondering what the big difference was between the regular and the xtreme dynamat. The Xtreme dynamat is a lot more expensive i know that. Which should i get?

That depends on how much power you will be pushing. I would suggest its a waste in a Celi to get extreeme because if you have enough power to utilitze it you will probably blow your hatch window out.

Myself, I don't use the stuff. I'd rather put the money into getting more power.

well a lot of the time it sounds like i am going to blow my hatch out lol. It rattles. anybody that has dynamat what kind did you use the reg. or the xtreme?

I have xtreme

I used the extreme in my car. Im not sure if there are any sound benefits but i know it can better withstand different temperature ranges and still perform at its peak. If i could do it again i would go to fatmat.com and buy 100 sq. ft. roll of their extreme fatmat for 100 dollars. It is exactly the same stuff as dynamat. Plus its 3 times bigger than the bulk pack from dynamat and wont cost you hardly anything compared to dynamat.

is there any way to re-enforce the rear hatch window???

no but your not gonna break it

DUDE!!! this is what you gotta do to stop a rattling hatch
#1 GO TO HOME DEPOT
#2 find the cabinetry section
#3 get some of those little rubber dot things you put behind drawers to keep them from smashing the wood
#4 get some of those felt things you put on cabinet doors to stop them from smashing and make them silent.
#5 put the felt things on the ledge that the hatch thing sits on
#6 put those dot things behind your license plate

and FINITO! you should have a lot quieter car, now if it's the ACTUAL hatch itself liek the metal shit, i dunno bout that.

The hatch is pretty difficult to bust, but possible with enough power. I put 600watts RMS to it & the center of the glass moves in and out about an inch. The top of the windshield and roof move about a half inch.

yeah well i got 1800 rms pumpin in mine

Right under where the glass ends and the metal begins is always shaking and is visable from teh outside. Ive never had a fear of blowing out the actual hatch. And have never heard of anybody doing it so i would think your pretty safe.

1800 rms you sure you arent talking peak power?

i'm thinkin' he's talkin' peak, 1800 rms will make you deaf bro

im running 1400rms, i only turn my bump up to 5 max,it stops at 50, i went to 15 once and i parked like 2 streets away and listened to it,lol

no for real 1800 rms. i know what im talking about. It gets so fucking loud it's unbelievable. Like i can feel my lips shake and my nose tickle. and when i crank it up real loud on some notes it's like i cant focus.

i never said i ran it that loud constantly. i can't take it too long.

extreme is so much easier to apply...

He's only giving 900W to each sub. not that bad.

In indeed says 1800watts RMS, but I have severe doubts you are actually getting that for $350.

Unless you compete or have REALLY loud systems, regular should be fine. Anything pushing above 1000 watts probably should go xtreme. I don't think you really need it, though. Dynamat does the job.

Class T isn't as efficient, i'm told. Class D is the best. Still gets over 1500 easily. Enough to get a public disturbance notice, probably.

im giving each sub 900 rms
