Hey, All-
I will quickly be in the spot where I need to start putting together the interior and carpet in my 66 Charger. I am looking for some input on the floor insulation. There are a lot of brands out there...Dynamat, Fatmat, etc.
Price per square foot varies a LOT! I am looking for something that will do the basic job of insulating the floor. My car is gonna be noisy, so sound deadening is secondary. I've done some research and have found the following comparison on items from various spots. I am not endorsing anyone of these products nor vendors...just wanting your opionions on what really works and what is bunk for the money.
Thermo-Tec (O'Reilly Auto) 48" x 72" 2 sided foil, $87.25 (on sale) 24 sq ft = $3.64 per sq ft.
EZ Cool Insulation 4' x 50' roll is $130. Shipping is $30. This is 200 sq ft, and with shipping = $0.80 per sq ft. eBay user ID: lobucrod or www.lobucrod.com
Eastwood Thermo-Coustic $149.99 per 36 sq ft, equals $4.17 per sq ft. www.eastwood.com
fatmat 50 sq ft $79.99 = $1.60 per sq ft. www.fatmat.com
dynamat 18x32 (9 pieces) $152 for 36 sq ft = $4.22 per sq ft. Found at amazon.com
RAAMmat RXT $119 for 62.5 sq ft = $1.90 per sq ft. www.raamaudio.com
fatmat xtreme $130 for 100 sq ft = $1.30 per sq ft eBay user ID: noise-killers
fatmat (no logo) $124.98 for 100 sq ft = $1.25 per sq ft eBay user ID: sounddeadenerdiscounts
These were prices I found a couple of months ago, so they may have changed slightly. But the relative price comparison should still be about the same. Anyone use any of the "more reasonable" items? Worth the money?
