Default has anyone Dynomatted their trunk in an A4 or S4 Sedan themself?

any pictures? is it really that hard to do yourself. local stereo shop said 250$ for the dynomat and 250$ for installation. i figure it cant be that hard to do yourself.

Default It's not hard to do...buy GOOD dynamat...spend the money...(more)

shouldn't run you 250 unless you're doing the entire trunk compartment...meaning sidepanels and all...

dynamating the trunk is cake..unscrew the inside carpet cover..dynamat...put the cover back on..done....the side panels are a pain in the ***...

if I was you, i'd just find a day you have free and do it yourself...

The largest problem that I've ran into with my systems is not panels rattling.....it's the whole undercarriage =)....

Default well...

You can get bulk rolls of xtreme of ebay. Xtreme is VERY good stuff. It is best applied with heat as it sticks the best. Most shops will do this as part of the install. Also, as said before, don't expect it to EVER come off. This means even if you want/need it to. So be careful and make sure you don't cover up anything you don't want to.

Try www.b-quiet.com instead (half the price of Dynamat), and install most of it yourself.

yea probobly going with the xtreme, so should i not even really worry about mating the side pannels? will i be ok with just the trunk lid, and spare tire well/and the surounding floor? they had mentioned something about the tail lights????

i have two JL 12 w4 and a jl 500/1 if that helps any.

Default depends on how ambitious you are I guess. =)...I usually just..

turn the system up to max...close everything..and then listen to where the vibration is coming from....hit the other side with some dynamat...xtreme is good stuff..like aluminium with tar on the back..

Default thanx Neoh, your help is appreciated.....

i guess it doesn't matter if when doing the spare tire well if pieces of the dynomat overlapp??? i guess its better to do the curved areas in smaller pieces instead of trying to use 2-3 larger pieces???? do you have pics from your install?
