It would be quieter but Dynamat adds a lot of weigh to the car. If that matters to you.

I wonder how many extra parts he ended up with after he put everything back together.

I have decided to go with the polk sr6500's for my front speakers (i am not having rears) powered by the polk c300.2.

I have two jl 8w7's that will be housed in custome fiberglass enclosures in my trunk right next to each wheel well closest to the back of the trunk. Each of these will be powered by it's own polk c500.1.

As for my head unit, here is the great part. I am not going to have one. Since i like computers and work them alot i have decided to put a computer in my car that would handle everything a head unit normally would and a whole lot more. (MP3, DVD, Wi-fi, Gps Nav, Phone hands free, even things like nes and sega emulators courtesy of two wireless game pads in the glove box ) All of this will be controlled by a 7" touch screen monitor that will be put in my front dash along with a lite-on dvd-rom drive.
I don't think that he's too worried about weight. Sounds like there's going to be a lot of stuff in that car. A little dynamat won't even be noticed.

gotta be careful with dynamat, once its down there, it's a bitch to get off. so if you accidentally put it over something that will go bad in the future...you're going to be scraping that stuff off for hours

I wish I had the balls/skill to do that. I'd end up with a sack full of extra nuts and bolts.

Great job! The 06' Civic Sedans could use a nice slathering of DynaMat. The 1.8 is just too loud for my taste.

I'm surprised at how quiet mine is. Road noise and wind noise aren't the best, but the engine itself is rather silent unless I'm gunning it to get onto the interstate.

I test drove a Sonata GLS V6 a few days ago and I was blown away at how quiet it was; even on the highway.
I realize that the LX is relatively quiet for a small car but I still don't like how loud it gets when I first take off and I find myself having to speak up much louder on the expressway in order to be heard.
Maybe I'm just a little too sensitive to noise.
I test drove an EX as the Honda and Hyundai dealerships are not too far from each other and I found the EX to be just as loud as my LX. I did this cause I wanted to make sure thatI did not have a problem with my car.

Hope he didn't need the gas mileage. That's over 110lbs added to the car. Then when you add the driver on top of that. lol...who said that about the car pool lane? Cuz that's a whole person and a half. lol

Personally, I don't think it's really worth it to Dynamat the entire car. However, it's obvious he's into heavy bass, and that Dynamat will be worth every penny to him. Sure, he's going to rattle all the bolts loose in the Civic, but at least he's going to do it with kick-ass bass!

The Dynamat weighs only 46 lbs; assuming he used all of it.
