retrodrive can get you a good deal on Raammat that is the same as dynamat but without the expensive name if you want that, or you can get some brown bread sound deading material that is also cheaper and better than dynamat.

>are there any "ghetto" solutions to dynomating ur car?

I picked up a tip on a UK car audio site recently. Some of the guys there have been using roofing flashing as an alternative and claim that it works well. It's probably not called roofing flashing in the US, but it's used where 2 roofs join at an angle. You can buy it anywhere they sell builders' products.

It's bitumen, softer than Dynomat, very flexible and fairly thin. They say it sticks much better than Dynomat and others. It comes in a roll of varying widths. I've just got one about 8 inches wide and forty feet long for about 12 dollars.

It looks OK but I haven't used it yet. Might be worth checking it out.

Ghetto way would be Peel and Seal at Lowes. Can't get better bang for the buck then that.

I can't get into Home Depot without a valid US zip code. Have a look under building materials - roofing. I can confirm that it is called roofing flashing in the US as well as here in the UK.

Bitumen is a heavy, tar-based substance commonly used for making resonance-inhibiting stick-on panels.

I worked at the Good Guys and ordered the Dynamat Xtreme before I quit. About 72 sq ft of it. It's all gone now, but you get an idea of how much mark up there is in this stuff. BTW, at 78% off they are still making a little bit of profit off me.
