Definatly worth it if ur replacing the factory speakers. Dynamat Xtreme is the way to go, if ur gonna go with Dynamat. I know a lot of people are probably gonna say that u can find something cheaper than the Dynamat, but i would recommend the Xtreme to anyone.

imperative for road noise, and even better for sq. make sure u do plenty directly behind the speaker.

edit: dont use dynamat, use cascade or stinger roadkill

djfrestyl....Why shouldn't he use Dynamat Xtreme?? Just wondering ur opinion on it, since it seems like 99% of the ppl on here say the same thing. And don't say price, because i feel that is no excuse to tell someone not to use it. Cause u can get it on eBay all the time for a lot cheaper than u can from a dealer.

yea, price, thats the only reason. i shouldnt have said DONT, but rather, you can get better (and probably more) stuff at a better price.

Anyone have experience with fatmat? This stuff can be found on eBay for $100 for 100sq ft which is a great price. I heard something positive about it somewhere, but I forget where.

I purchased 100 sq. ft. of 'Bquiet' from Ebay, it ws $100. I did all 4 doors with 1/2 of it and sold the other half to another maxima owner. I did 3 layers on all the doors, the difference in road noise is unbelievable!
