.
I've just done the rear quarter panels and doors of the Oval with one sheet of the 3M sound deadner which I brought from 'The Body Shop" paint
suppliers. It worked out to be $38 and has done the trick really well.
All I wanted is to stop the drumming noise caused by road noise not cover every inch of panel. I cleaned then heated the door and the mat then peeled
off the adhiesive backing paper and applied with a small rubber roller.
Even using just one piece approx 1200 x 900 the weight is very heavy I'm happy with using the standard tar mats then rubber mats on the floor and my
trimmer used some trimmers wading behind the rear seat engine fire wall before laying down the carpet.
recycle, restore, enjoy

The RAAMmat is looking pretty good after reading a fair few articles and forums. Funny also, that a guy that used to work for Dynamat only used it
whilst he worked there due to an 85% employee discount. He said the stuff was WAY over priced otherwise and just as good as most other good names.
As for covering every square inch. Nope, not necessary. Flat panels need at most 50% coverage but really 25% should do the trick. Floorpans it's a
good idea to do the majority of the panel to deaden the low frequency of road noise. contoured panels inheritantly have less vibration due to their
structure.
Anyhow, easiest thing is to pop in 25% coverage and if you think it ain't enough pop some more in but remember people that this stuff deadens panel
vibration and does little to absorb noise. For this you need closed cell foam or a correctly formulated carpet felt but closed cell foam is generally
better.

My research was limited to asking around and quizzing a few people who use it.
They all said they would rather pay the extra for Dynamat.
The RAAMmat seems okay though.

Until recent years there has been little choice in Oz and the yanks got in early with their named brand. As already said Dynamat works just fine but
for the price it lives off it's popularity and isn't worth what you pay for it.
So long as you're happy then I'm glad you like the effects of Dynamat. For others out there and especially these days it pays to shop around
