KILMAT 80 mil 36 sqft Car Sound Deadening Mat, Butyl Automotive Sound Deadener, Audio Noise Insulation and dampening

Love the thickness for the price . Way cheaper than the top brands,and in my opinion better sound canceling.

Ive done all sorts of upgrades/enhancements to my cars over the years, and installing sound deadener has been the most transformative. Sure, upgrading the stereo/amp/speakers all at once is hugely transformative, but its also expected to make a huge difference. The reason I say sound deadener is more transformative is that it improved things in many unexpected ways, on top of the expected reduction in road & mechanical noise. Background on my vehicle: - Medium sized pickup truck with extended cab - 2006 but only 40,000 miles, so enough miles to develop some rattles - 4 doors (2 normal, 2 smaller) - Smaller doors provide access to extended area for storage or jump seats I took the driver/passenger and jump seats out but only moved the carpeting out of the way vs fully removing. This, and because I didnt remove the center console, meant that I was able to cover the sides of the drivetrain well but not the top . In my truck, most of the mechanical noise comes from the engine, not the drivetrain. What I covered with 72 sq ft of 80 mil mats (i.e. purchased 2 boxes of 36 sq ft): - 4 doors - Rear of extended cab (area facing bed) down to the floor - Ceiling - Driver/passenger footwell up thru firewall - 3-4 wide area running between seats and doors from front to back - 2/3 of area below drivers seat (was too lazy to remove passenger seat again just to apply a single sheet) - 1 sheet of mat leftover I was very thorough. I removed the speakers in the doors and covered the area behind them (I also installed speaker baffles, which improve the sound quality and provide some sound deadening qualities). The rear doors have built-in pocket storage areas so I ended up covering the exterior metal panels of the doors and the some of the interior metal panels. Maybe overkill, but those doors were also the source for a lot of road noise. Expected improvement: significant reduction of road and engine noise. This stuff delivered the goods. My 9 y/o immediately noticed the difference and said something before I could tell her I was done. And this was on city streets, so not even highway. Its that noticeable. Hands-free phone calls, music, talk radio, you name it, all sound much cleaner, crisper and without having to crank it up as much. Unexpected improvements: - Doors close with a more solid feel - Near silence when going over potholes and changes in pavement - Sensation of that I installed a new, more sophisticated suspension because everything feels tighter and smoother All in all, money well and one weekend well spent. Installation tips: - Run a small heater if installing in temps below 60 degrees. The mats will adhere better. - Buy the metal rollers to make sure the mats are completely flat and fully adhered. - Before removing the paper backing, put the mat into the desired location and press hard on the areas that need to be accessible (screw holes, wiring, etc) to create an impression. Then use exacto knife or razor blade to make the opening marked by the impression. Be sure to double check all access points twice so you dont find yourself all ready to put everything back together and you have to find the one you covered. For rubber gasket access points, I cut a path around the edges so you can remove the gasket, but theres still mat on the bulk (center) of the gasket.

Works as advertised!

Ive been aware of products like this, but never personally used any of them... Until now. This in combination with the Noico 315 Red did great things for a 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 4wd SLT. I covered the inside of all four of my doors with a layer of Kilmat 80 plus a layer of the Noico 315 insulation covering that. The interior side of all doors were completely covered with Kilmat 80, then finally the door panel got a layer of Kilmat 50 over about 60% of its surface. The roof and back wall got a layer of Kilmat 80 plus a layer of Noico 315. I live in the desert and highs in the 110s are a given during the summer. I know these products have improved the cabin environment substantially. Nothing but the sun blasting bare metal then various trim panels on that metal was stock fare in my truck. Im guessing a 10 to 15 degree decrease over stock. Right after I finished the doors I was waiting at a stop light. A trash truck was backing up about 100 away from me. Everyone knows the piercing backup warning beeper. That tone was muffled quite a bit. I havent done the firewall or floor yet. That can wait until the weather cools. My Focal Flax 6.5 components have always been enjoyable, but they sound much more lively than before. The sound system performance has been improved on every level. Highs, lows, mids...everything is better. Doors have a solid feel when closing now. These products are a system multiplier when used correctly. I believe its important as upgrading the various components in any system. A couple other things, I had zero issues with adhesion. This stuff sticks on a 100 degree day just fine! As far as odor. Yes there is a mild tar smell during installation. It dissipates after a couple days. A small, temporary price to pay, for the overall benefits.

Works great if installed properly. USE A ROLLER

Made a huge difference. A little bit of music can now go a long way. And i have a lot of music. Installed in my trunk and under my trunk mat where my spare goes. Put some in the door too. The shaking went down to a huge minumum and also my sound stays more in my car than before. When I open my doors its a huge difference now. Makes road noise less as well. When i get the time im going to install in my wheel wells

Used it for my 1971 vw beetle. The engine noises reduced by so much using this! I can’t believe I drove without sound deadening. This stuff sticks on everything. It’s like tar. So even rust it’ll hold to. Even some greasy surfaces it held! I’m very happy to say this is great stuff.

Easy to Use.

I used this on the rear deck of a 2019 acura tlx with a kicker 8 inch sub driven by 200 watts rms. The metal was flexing very badly and the noise from vibration was horrendous. One layer of killmat completely silenced it.

there is a asfalt smell in it, is it a butyl rubber or asfalt? i seal it with alimunium tape to stop the smell, and always i keep windows open , about noise concellation, i do the four doors, i didnot see any difference until now, the product is easy to cut, the adhesion is good, but i cant juge adhesion now. it need some time. the product is from russian federation, the manufacturer says that for thickness 80 mil ,the weight is 2.44 Kg/m², the weight of the small sheet 15.7inch x 9.8 inch =0.1 m² is 0.224kg => so the product that i receive is 2.24 kg/m² 200g less.
