They claim there products are 3X better than Dynamat and Brown Bread. Not to mention they offer more ways to sound proof.

With the exception of the liquids all matt is basically the same. Ashpalt Glue and in some cases aluminum backing. The glue os usually what makes the stuff any good.

The best price I found for Dynamat Extreme was about 125.00 shipping included but for only 36 sq ft. Normal price is usually around 150.00 shippind not included.

And for the the other statement how can you say that all sound dampening materials are the same? Not all brands are manufactured the same some may be denser than others and some may use different materials. Granted the use of any brand will make a difference but some are better than others. That's just my opinion. As for FATMAT they offer there's for a decent price, give you more material,. and claim that it's 3x better than Dynamat, satisfaction garanteeded or your money back.

All asphalt based sound deadeners add mass to reduce resonance. They can have different thincknesses thus making more weight per layer. due to the price of Fat matt that alone makes it 3x better than dynamatt right there. each company may put in some "speacial" ingerdient but its all basically the same.

yes this I know. Sorry if I was mistaken but I thought you were basically saying that this wasn't that good of a deal. Not only do you get more but I belive it's also thicker. FatMat is 80mils I'm not too sure what Dynamat is but I believe it's thinner.
