anybody use fatmat instead of b-quiet proucts?
In searching for affordable sound deadening, I came across fatmat.
For 50 sq. feet is about 60 bucks and for the b-quiet product that has replaced brown bread it is about 130 bucks for the same 50 square feet. Opinions, experiences with fatmat???- good, bad avoid??? thanks chevybill

Re: anybody use fatmat instead of b-quiet proucts?
I will be using FatMat for my truck due to cost and budget. I used it in a friends car for his stereo install and I would say it's a good product. There is better out there and there is a website somewhere that did a quality/$$ breakdown of about every product out there.
Second Skin is supposed to be the best, but for the price, I will double up the floor with FatMat and call it a day. |

Re: anybody use fatmat instead of b-quiet proucts?
i would throw down some roll on bed liner, then the fat mat. i had a 72 blazer with 3in pipes and no top i painted the whole floor with it and then put the carpet down and it made a big difference. add a closed cab and the mat i think you will be pleased buy the sound and price.

Re: anybody use fatmat instead of b-quiet proucts?
Thanks for the insight, byrd. I think I might use raamat as well. They are just down the road from me (about 20 minutes anyway). It would be nice to pick it up local.

![]() The raamat cost more then double what the fatmat did, but it is better and should last forever here in Ky. I was more concerned with the fatmat melting due to our hot and muggy summers, it usually stays around 88-96 with about 80% humidity.Factor that into a black truck sitting in the sun equals VERY HOT Temps inside the truck ![]() floors per say,but I was worried about the doors

I just like the idea of kicking in a door if I'm "unhappy" with a product

Re: anybody use fatmat instead of b-quiet proucts?
If the weather sucks less this weekend, then I will do a measurement. I am doing the floor starting at the firewall and ending at the rear window. I will also do the inside of both doors. I am guessing I can do the inside with 60 feet, but that's a pure guess.
Turns out RAAMat has moved to Utah a couple months ago, but he said he will still give me a break on the shipping. they are sold out right now and won't get any more in for about a month. |

Re: anybody use fatmat instead of b-quiet proucts?
I bought 2 15"x50' rolls or about 125 sq ft. I was figuring 75-100 for the complete truck and doors, some places double layered. The rest I will use on my wifes 05' Cobalt in the trunk and floor pans to make it a little quieter.
