Talking Re: Panel guys, I’d like to quiet down the back…

I talked to a stereo install guy years ago and he clued me in on a cheap Dynamat substitute. Go to Home Depot, Lowes, Roofing supply and buy Ice and water dam. It is made to put on your roof BEFORE anything else, directly on the wood.It is "tar" on one side and rubber on the other. As far as heat effecting the adhesion the hotter it gets the more it will stick. Just make sure where you place it is clean before trying to get it to stick.Also it might be better to install it in a warm place and possibly use a heat gun some as it is winter here in Michigan but next summer and the sun hits it and the temps skyrocket you won't be able to get it off!
All you are trying to do is keep the body panels from resonating.
Styrofoam can squeak if it is put in tight, ask the guys from the 70s 80s in there vans and it can be a pain to keep on the walls unless you put some sort of wall up.
Hope this helps
