Fish Chris Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 First off, I'm not that concerned about the cost of the sound deadening material itself. I know a lot of people often say DynaMat Extreme is over priced, and your paying for the name..... But for the price I can get bulk packages of it, from SonicElectronix {36 sq ft for $134} I'm totally okay with it. I'm thinking about getting two bulk packs, or 72sq ft, for about $300 (with CA sales tax). So, I'm cool with this ^ What I DON'T want to do, is to start ripping panels off of my truck, and messing with stupid ass clips, and crap, that needs special tools, etc, etc. That is just not the part of car stereo building that I'm into. So, what would be a reasonable price to expect to pay for labor, to totally install / deaden the entire roof, and all 4 doors of my F150 Supercab ??? Would $500 do it ? BTW, if anybody here has (plenty of) experience installing this stuff, and would like to give me a price quote for the job, you can always shoot me a PM. If it's in a shop, I might try to stay pretty much out of your hair while you do it.... But other than that, I wouldn't want to part with my baby Thank you, Fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonedeaf Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 I believe for example, Ray charges like $5 per sheet at his shop. As for dyna extreme...id suggest SS over that. Regular damplifier is supposed to be equivalent to dynamat extreme. Theres a guy in the for sales that has 2 boxes of the stuff for $350 shipped I beklive. GREAT price. Its the damplifier pro. Id suggest it > dynamat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Chris Posted September 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 $5 a sheet ? That is like cheaper than dirt ! I heard this stuff was a major PITA to put in..... and most shops charge at least $50 to $75 an hour.... don't they ? (if not, I don't know how they afford groceries). Okay, I've heard of Damplifier Pro. Will look into that. But what is SS ? Fish I believe for example, Ray charges like $5 per sheet at his shop. As for dyna extreme...id suggest SS over that. Regular damplifier is supposed to be equivalent to dynamat extreme. Theres a guy in the for sales that has 2 boxes of the stuff for $350 shipped I beklive. GREAT price. Its the damplifier pro.

Fish Chris Posted September 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Right on. I'll look at that stuff too. But again, I'm more concerned about the cost of getting it installed, than the cost of materials..... Fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Chris Posted September 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 I live about half way between San Francisco, and Sacramento.... an easy shot to pretty much anywhere in the Bay Area, or Sac, and all of its surrounding towns (bombastic location, huh ? ) Fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedball1978 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 just to throw in my 2 cents, last year i've been quoted 300 just to install this stuff in the trunk alone and 1400 for the entire car, its a total rip off when you can spend time doing it yourself and save tons of money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you're a little far from me. The panels and clips on Fords aren't that bad if you decide to save some money and do it yourself. Most of them can be popped off by hand. I can rip out the entire interior of my Mustang in less than an hour. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassrace Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Yes get on youtube it'll show you how to get your panels off. Im with OrionStang with this one just do it yourself. Maybe I should get into installing deadener theres good many to be had there.
