Q-MAT features a thickness of 75mil (2mm) flexible butyl self adhesive sound deadener backed with a silver aluminum layer. Its flexibility allows Q-MAT to form to the contours of your customers vehicle. Since butyl does not require a separate adhesive layer that can degrade, expect Q-MAT to stay put for the long haul.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen your customer is driving their vehicle’s engine and tires create vibrations. These vibrations reach the body panels which move air as they vibrate. Butyl sound deadener works mostly by limiting, or dampening, how much the body panels can vibrate. By getting rid of some of the noise, they’ll hear more music without pushing the system. Installing Q-MAT also reduces the sound that dissipates into those same body panels. As a result of these factors, they’ll enjoy greater dynamic range, and an enhanced listening experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrunks, door panels, and floorboards are common areas where self adhesive sound deadener can have a noticeable impact. Q-MAT is shipped as a kit of 8 panels for a total of about 16 square feet of coverage. To figure out how much your customer will need, measure the surfaces as best you can. Once there's a good estimate, round up to account for the material that will be wasted when trimming panels for the best fit. Even though they’ll have to do some disassembly or remove carpet, Q-MAT is thin enough that they’ll be able to replace their factory interior on top of it without issue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdding Q-MAT will definitely help with noise in their vehicle, but don’t expect to get rid of it altogether. Without somehow completely stabilizing body panels on the vehicle, they’re going to vibrate to an extent. Even so, still expect a vastly improved listening experience due to the reduced body resonance and greater dynamic range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatures\u003cbr\u003eTotal Square feet: 16\u003cbr\u003eTotal sheets: 8 @ 1.6sq ft each\u003cbr\u003eTop Layer: Silver Color Aluminum overlay\u003cbr\u003eThickness: 2mm (75 mil) Butyl Deadener\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SoundQubed","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47640282562722,"sku":"Q-MAT16","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0455\/3526\/4930\/files\/Q-MAT16-1_lg.png?v=1789044863","url":"https:\/\/tdscaraudio.com\/products\/soundqubed-q-mat16","provider":"TDS Car Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
