Wow... nearly a foot of travel on that MTX... rediculous... I can't believe a rep would actually say something like that. I'd love to see the motor on that, I doubt the thing can actually move more than 2" one way without sounding horribly distorted.

Google doesn't have anything on it yet... I also have issues with rumors of a sub weighing more than 100lbs. I understand its a 24" sub.. but still. Something that they produce, and nobody will buy because its not even realistic to use in anything other than a SPL van.


I really wonder what the benefit of that new dynamat product is. Thinner than the normal stuff? is it half foam half mat? You generally want to add MORE weight, not skimp on it.

The sub was truly ridiculous - I think the premise is simply for them to maintain bragging rights of making the largest one out there.

As for the Dynamat Superlite, its purpose is to achieve a level of sound dampening without adding as much weight. It's all relative, as its 30% reduction in weight comes with about the same percentage reduction in dampening.

That makes a bit of sense.... marketing wise.
When it comes to the physics though, you don't need to mat every square inch in a car to get benefits. putting on 4oz of mat over a 1 sq ft area on a panel will net practically the same amount of dampening as putting 4oz of mat on a 4 sq ft area on that same sized panel (assuming the panel is at least 4sq ft in size).

It would be cool for places that are exposed and you want a nice even looking install (not patchwork quilt style looks), but how many places are there like that? trunk lid?....maybe bottom of hood.... gas cap? I can't think of any more.
