This review is from: Elemental Designs eDead 45 Sound Deadening - 20Sq. Ft.

Understand this product, like other similar ones, is the first step to a few other steps in aiming for- 1)less vibration, minimum sound deflection and minimum temperature control ; 2) a thicker material for temperature; and 3) even better sound deflection. I installed this on my floors and it works great. it says you don't have to but you should always heat these kind of products up before installing even with a hair dryer, you will see a HUGE difference. "eDead" is an amazing product for the price it is, but does not compare to the Dynamat i have installed on my doors.

This review is from: Elemental Designs eDead 45 Sound Deadening - 20Sq. Ft.

I'll just break this down into pros and cons to make this easy for myself.

Pros:
Great price. One of the better priced sound deadening mats out there. Plain and simple, Dynamat is just too expensive, it works great, but when a similar product costs well less then half the price for twice as much you really can't go wrong.
It's very flexible and easy to install.
Doesn't need to be heated up.

Cons:
Poor adhesion. I've had to reattach the material in several areas because it has failed to stay adhered to the panel.
Doesn't perform as well as the other products out there. Compared to Dynamat Xtreme, Second Skin's Damplifier, or even Cascade Audio's VB-2 it just doesn't stack up. Didn't see a noticeable reduction in sound or vibrations, I guess it's probably because it's flimsy... which brings me to the next con.
Flimsy. This makes it easy to install, but it also compromises the durability of it. If you have this installed in your trunk and set something the least bit heavy in there it WILL tear right through the silver plastic film.

What little bit I used on the car has since been removed and replaced with one of the other above products.

So don't expect a huge difference in the overall reduction in sound or vibrations. And personally I would highly recommend looking at the other products that are available.
