How effective was the Dynamat at canceling road noise?

Randy, It's been a while since we talked to Alan, but we've always been impressed by Dynamat when we've used it in our own installations. Give us a call and talk to one of our advisors. We can help you find what you need and give you the right advice on how to install it.

Harry, Depends on the options in question, but we'll certainly try to help you find something that'll work. With questions like that, it's always better to have a conversation with a real live human, so give us a call and talk to one of our advisors.

How well does that Dynamat sound deadening work? Seems like most of the loud noise comes from behind the seats in the convertible.

Mark, We hear a lot of good things about Dynamat in Corvettes, so it might be a nice addition to your car. Give us a call and talk to one of our advisors. We'll help you get what you need for your convertible.

Todd, the subwoofer enclosure is available through JL Audio and they may have one that is designed specifically for your car.

Hello Sir I love your set up!! But I have a question about your stealth speakers.. I have a 1998 Vett, and would like to set up the subs like that as well.. Where did you buy them or were they made for you?? Thanks...

Bill, Rear-view cameras for easier parking and reversing have become a popular choice for drivers these days. The same is true of dash cams mounted on a windshield or dash, which loop-record the road in front of you to document unexpected incidents. Installing a rear-view camera can be a bit of work depending on the system you choose, but there are wireless options as well. Installing a dash cam can be as simple as suction-mounting it and plugging into your car's 12V power source. Check out our wide selection of car video options.

Exclusive Crutchfield technology

How it works

SpeakerCompare^™ simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you're using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that's why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Listening kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield's SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. We've carefully chosen the components of this kit to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience. It's available for a nominal rental fee, and includes a $25 Crutchfield merchandise credit.

Color:

Scorecard by

Sound profile:

Warm

Ideal for extended fatigue-free listening, because they emphasize bass and roll off the highest treble, for smooth, relaxed sound.

Neutral

A solid choice for most applications, because they prioritize accuracy, without emphasizing bass or treble.

Bright

Perfect for listeners who want to hear every detail, because they accentuate higher frequencies for a crisp, energetic sound.
