Celsus ICE Stock SPL Nutter Mat

As if any proof were needed about seriousness of the new distributor for the ex-BBG brands of Mitek (MTX), Dynamat and JL Audio, here’s a doozy.
It transpires that there is a Dynamat product only of any use for competition Sound Pressure Level installations. And I’m not talking about a little bit of Boom Boom Pow. I’m talking Cataclysmic Bleeding-Eared Mayhem Nutter Grade and burps WELL over 150dB. This stuff is meant for the 170 to 180dB plus crew! The complete bonkers, hatstand physicists with a sick soul and a twisted, perverted bass hunger.
My kind of people.
Apparently, it is a very different thing to normal mat of any kind and get this, you use a whole layer over the inside of your stripped out going-to-one-seventy-land vehicle and use it to cover up all holes. THEN you do a full layer of Dynamat as normal. I literally boggled when I read this and wondered what in hell it could be. I concluded that it has to be some sort of super-high viscosity super-fluid like corn flour in water, or ‘Silly Putty’ also once called ‘Potty Putty’ (UK meaning as in daft, for our American readers – Hi y’all.) or even Blu-Tak.
Squidgy under soft stress and will ooze and stretch. But give it a big energy input and it resists. Squidgy putty that bounces violently or even shatters under a hammer. Coat all holes in your chassis and when the insane pressure loads of momentary biff hit the stuff, it would resist if it’s what I think it is and you’d keep tenths of decibels.
That’s my theory and I want badly to know if it’s piffle or not!
Either way, all Dynamat products are known performers (as used in McLaren cars by the way) so this has to be of some use. Quite how I don’t yet know for fact but one thing’s for sure. The UK is ready for the next generation of the truly hardcore SPL installs. Minority nutter product alongside the sane stuff. You gotta love ’em for their commitment! Here’s a snap of some geezer with no head……
