I used Dynamat Extreme throughout my interior and it made a huge difference in making my mid-bass come alive.

I just got threw ordering my RAAMAT. I spoke to the owner on the phone, told him what i was planning on and the size of my truck and this is what he recommended...

1/2 roll BXT 31.25 sqft
1.25 packs BXT II 46.875 sqft
4.5 yards PS Ensolite


he said it was not absolutely necessary to cover every square inch... he said us the BXT II on everything besides the floor. He said to focus mainly on the big panels that dont have bracing around them... meaning if a panel has bracing on all 4 side, put a piece in the middle of that panel, then knock on it with your fist to see if it resonates... If it doesn't then your good, if it does then add more...

Should be an interesting experience.

yeah its not mandantory that every inch is covered. You can definately get by with some missed spots but like he said just knock it with your finger and you can hear when its made its difference.

The amp you bought is expensive but its one of the nicest ones that you can buy. JL is really in a relm of their own. You love that amp!

sure, but it won't be a bass machine, it should just be a nice full range of sound which is what i was after.

ya, when i started planning this months ago, i was expecting to spend a lot less... But I only want to do this once, so i am buying the good stuff. And the exhaust and road noise are REALLY getting on my nerves... I don't have any more room to add mufflers (allready have 3 feet of mufflers under my truck)...
