[W126 Coupe] [w126 coupe] Sound proofing\deadening

[Yousef nazzal]

Hey All

I need your advice on deadening.. I mentioned earlier that I only found the
Japanese kit.. well its crap... dsnt stick etc.. i looked really hard and
turns out Dynamat is distributed in Dubai!.. i went to the shop and asked
for quote and they said they recommend a two layer job..layer of Extreme and
layer of Dynaliner 1/4" .. for $1000.. it might not sound like much.. but
its costing as much as the sound system itself... so i am thinking of doing
only one layer (half price!).. and try it out if the results are good then i
save $500.. if not ill do a second layer later in life :P..

I tried to purchase alternatives online ( like B-Quiet).. i get really good
prices.. but shipping costs is as much as the item itself.. so its not worth
it..

so is Dynamat Exterem enough for the 560SEC??
