so yeah i need to dynamat my car yet, i was wondering how hard it is to do yourself, and also if there is any alternatives like any foam type stuff or spray on stuff... and how effective the spray/foam stuff would be compared to dynamatting thanks for your time

you can fill in the voids with expanding foam...like great stuff.
Also Raammat is a cheap alternative that is butyl.
I'm going to be using eDead in my install.

spray/foam will not dampen the metal, only cover it. sound deadening actually dampens panel vibrations and keeps the metal or piece from resonating. using spray deadening is fine, but spray foam wouldnt help much and would be messy. i use Stinger Roadkill with great success. ive used the spray stuff and its good as well, but hard to spray and diffcult to use. most of the material out there works good, but i use what i know and it works great. peace.

seems like you have never used nor seen any installs that required more than just dampening mat. Using expanding foam will work a lot more than you even know...I'd suggest commenting on subjects you know you are right about.
so if you're theory on expanding foam not helping anything than why do plenty of competitors and many others use it to reduce unwanted panel vibrations???
