Trunk redo, follow up

[dswalterwi at earthlink.net (Don Walter)]

Gordon,
Great job, thanks for all the information on the results.  It looks really professional.

David,
Did you use the spray on or the sheets of Dynomat Xtreme?  I am thinking of pulling out my back seats and building in my stereo amps, computer, and sub woofer.

  Yes, sound-deadening can give you the feeling that you have a new or 
completely different car...

  At the moment, I have my headliner and back seat out while I installed 
Dynamat Xtreme everywhere (ever notice how many things are 'Xtreme' 
nowadays?).  With all that stuff out, the car was undbearable, esp. with my 
ghetto muffler installed...  But, after I installed that dynamat, it made a 
huge difference...  It will be even more obvoius once I re-install the 
headliner and rear seat again.  But, I won't be able to do that until I finish 
the foam...
