Default Sound deadening - always heat up?

This is the first time I have used sound deadening on the front door for new speakers, and the stuff I've got has a "sticky" side which does seem pretty damn sticky

I've heard people say that they put theirs on with a heat gun / hair dryer - is this always required or does it depend on the make of sound deadening material

Cheers fellow Scoobies

Depends on the make. Normal dynamat needs heating, dynamat extreme doesn't but I think most types will benefit as it makes the stuff more flexible and able to get in the folds etc.

I like to use Hushmat, which does not need to be pre-heated. What type did you get?

Either way, pre-clean the surface for better adhesion. And if you don't have much to use, it's most efficiently used in strips, rather than huge chunks.
