> 3 dayMy 2nd time using this 80 mil kilmat. First was a 2011 Camry (turned a Toyota into a Lexus. LOL). Put a nice system (Focal speakers, etc) in Camry…. Used the Kilmat inside the doors on the doors skins, under the door panels, trunk floor, trunk sides, trunk lid, license plate, behind and under back seat. It did a great job of isolating the interior from outside…. Knock on the door skins and it sounds like a thud instead of a ring; shut the doors with the music cranked and you barely hear it outside the car! And no rattles from the sub hitting. Now I’m doing a 2011 Tundra crewmax with a very high end system…. Focal utopia components, Focal K2 power components rear, focal flax series subs, Kenwood 1037 head,JL vx800i, JL XD600/1v2,etc Used kilmat inside doors, under door panels, behind rear seat, 4 coats of rubberized undercoating spray under cab, then used 1/4” closed cell foam (siless) over the top of all above listed locations (except outside under cab)… WOW! WHAT A DIFFERENCE! The kilmat isolates and dampens while the closed cell foam adds the acoustic deadening I was looking for. The undercoating sprayed under the cab of the truck added the damping and isolation under the truck without having to pull the seats and carpet to install kilmat.. The sound made from just shutting the doors makes it obvious how much better the listening environment is going to be. I have bought (3) boxes of kilmat 80 mil 36 sq ft, (2) boxes of siless closed cell foam, 3 pack of installation “rollers” …. About 300.00 Spend less on your components and do the above process first. You’ll get much more out of your audio equipment! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

> 3 dayIve 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.

> 3 dayInstalled in 2015 Corolla. Applied to doors all the floor rear deck spare tire well, and almost every piece of metal and it’s greatly reduced the rattle from bass now I just have to isolate the small parts around the car. This product is overall 5 stars. Easy to apply take the time to use a heat gun or leave the panels in the rear window during the day and they will peel and stick with ease. The warming up of the panel really helps when you need to rool them down. Do not forget to roll them out there are raised squares that need to be fooled out I forgot that and after it was way better once I rolled them out! My first kilmat sound dampening project and I will be buying some more for a future car or the hood well done Killmat

> 3 dayMy truck is just about as noisey as they come, while I wasnt jumping for joy to do the actual job of installing these, ill tell ya - pretty big difference. After the install i remember my first drive thinking whats wrong with my truck? it sounds... weird - what was weird was that it was quiet! Installing these is a labor of love. Find a nice fair weather day, some shade and put on some tunes and just get it done, if your car is noisy this is your solution. It goes on easy and has so far (1 year+) held up great, I have had to remove my door panels to install new mirrors and took a peek inside and its all held up the same as the day I put it on. I ended up doing nearly my whole SUV, interior, firewall, all 4 doors, the back bed/trunk. Made a huge difference, would do it all over again if I had to. 5/5

> 3 dayI applied this to the roof on the inside of my car. It went on easily and stuck very well with little effort. I liked the pattern in the foil that helps you see how well you have rolled it. This was also priced well - a great value.

> 3 dayThis product is easy to use. Extremely sticky, great adhesion. The bumpy pattern realy helps to let you know where youve rolled it out.
