    i started to put a lil something together in my mazda 626 but never got around to doing much but i got a pioneer deck, alpine 6x8's in the front doors and and pioneer 6x9's in the back and it sounds decent but i want more voice and a lil bass in there, i want to subs but i dont want my shyt rattling.. thinking bout getting these polk 6x9's i saw at circuit city that sounded good and adding them on top of the back but idk if that should do it

    dynamat is that particular brand's name.
    you can shop online and find other brands that cost less.
    if you choose to go with dynamat be prepared to spend some cash
    (5 sheets or so, i forget) cost $114 at best buys. + even more cash to install it. (install it your self though. if you can peel a sticker and use a roller you can do it) be sure to wear thick gloves when installing, i got some pretty good cuts from the aluminum.

    it doesn't really make it louder, it just dampens the rattle. but its worth it.
