It costs less than EVERY other sound deadener on the market. What the hell do you think you're getting for 1/4th of the price? It's like buying a Chevy Aveo and comparing it with a damn Mercedes-Benz!

The reason they didn't give you back any money is because if you know how to install it the **** doesn't come off! I've personally installed over 500sq ft of the v1se into multiple cars and not a single one has pealed off. If you follow the directions (included for a reason) you will get the desired effect from any purchased product. These are not trailer queens either, they are real world cars that are parked out in the hot ass chicago sun all day and the cold ass winters all night! Use denaturated alcohol to clean the substrate before applying, use a hair dryer on high to heat the product to the point that when held by the corner it hangs almost like a sheet of paper, then USE A CORRECT ROLLER (like the one they always include in my orders for free because they have exceptional customer service) to press it down onto the substrate. Use pressure to push it down then use the hair dryer to heat it up once again. After that maybe it'll stick and you all can get off of Dynamat's nuts!

I have used Dynamat and i will admit that it is easier to install for a novice. But if you take the time to install eDead correctly (usually 4-5 hours to do two layers for a full trunk for me and i've been doing this for 4 years) you can get the same results for half of the price of using dynamat. I installed a total of 8 layers of the edead 45 and 2 layers of edead 120 in an 88 cadillac fleetwood brougham and there is no rattle at all from the rear of this car. Mind you that the owner has literally filled the trunk with 6 15 inch Kicker cvxs. The box fills the trunk and back seat area and there is no rattle at all! This cost me approx. 300 bucks worth of product to do. Do the same thing with the other products and tell me how much it costs to get the same results.

one question it's not like the original dynamat where you have to heat it for good adhesion ?

The stuff sucks and I was just letting as many people know not to buy the stuff as I could. I think peal and seal would be a better alternative at this point. Elemental Designs will do nothing for me either no refund no partial credit NOTHING...

The stuff doesn't even stick to itself I was just in the garage and cut to new peices off and stuck them to each other, backed my car over it and then pulled it apart. I know you can't do that with dynamat. If you just touch dynamat to itself yiu can't peel it apart.
