Default Dynamat Xtreme vs Dynamat Superlite

Is dynamat superlite worth it?

Xtreme is 0.45 lbs per square foot, but I can't find anything about Superlite, it says it's 20% lower..

Which one should I go with?

The selling point is you can do an entire sedan, the whole damn floor, doors ceiling, and trunk and only gain 30lbs. Superlite is a bit more expensive when I've found it. I like buying off amazon.com, got a bulk pack of Xtreme for $134.00 (50% off retail). I'd go with superlite as long as you're not putting some extremely heavy (and hard hitting) subs in there.

There is really no replacement for mass (weight). I found the Hushmat poly-based product to be cheaper than DX and still be of exceptional quality. I have 108 square feet of in in my Z and its incredible.

Here is my understanding of Dynamat Xtreme vs. Dynamat Superlite. Hopefully someone will correct me if my statements are not correct.
  • Dynamat Xtreme is thicker, heavier, and provides the best sound-deadening.

  • Dynamat Superlite is more thin (i.e., easier to install), lighter, but provides slightly less sound deadening. This product depends upon sealing the sheets end-to-end or at the sheet’s terminus to get the best result.

Notice that the Corvette has very thin sound-proofing panels, but the panels are fit precisely and deaden very well. That is the concept for the Dynamat Superlite (lighter, thinner, and better fitment to achieve sound deadening with a lighter weight product).

anywhere from $50 to $200 depending on how many layers and the quality of materials.
