All contact will be directly with Rick McCallum (owner of RAAM Audio), as is the same with all business transactions. I merely was a middle man in all of this. Here are the specifics:

Glad to see this, but man is it bad timing for me.

[Rob4x4]

Hmmmm I may be interested in this. What all do you suggest for my reg cab? Just the basic?

[Black Silverado]

Looks like the basic may do it for Regular Cabs, I think I may go with that myself.

Yup try the basic, you will be more than suprised at how quiet your truck becomes after the installation of this stuff, the chit is great!

I'm definitely in on this. What's the deal with the foam? I havent seen that before. How much different will it be to go with or without the foam? Where does the foam go?

The foam goes over the deadener. Its serves an entirely different purpose than the deadener, and because of this, it yields far better results when used in unison with the matting. The matting is used to help control vibrational issues, like a panel rattling from the lower frequency notes (bass). Its a type of mass loading which helps cut down the vibrations. Now the foam, sinces its closed cell structured, it helps reduce unwanted road noise. Its not sound absorber, but rather sound blocker. Its nice and thin and easy to install, but you need adhesive to do so since it does not have an adhesive backing like the matting does. Now you can see why the combo is much more effective than the matting alone.You will see some guys using like 8 layers of matting thinking they are doing more good than say 2 layers...when in fact its a waste. 1 or 2 layers of matte with 1 layer of Ensolite over that will yield better results.

If you ever need any install advice when installing it, shoot Rick and email. He is very knowledgeable and offers great advice within a day.

[denmason]

Woohooo, just ordered the "going all out" goodies from Rick. Maybe I'll have the time to install during Memorial day weekend, got 4 days off.

[denmason]

Oh Yeah.....got the goods today. Looks like a bunch of fun in a box. Gonna start install Memorial day weekend, got friday through monday off. Here's a couple pix of the stuff.

Sorry if I missed it but is rammatt an asphalt based product?
How does it do on the roof and does it "run" when heated?

are there issues with carpeting laying flat after install? Or panels not fitting because now the mounting surface is 'thicker'?

I'm debating doing the vehicle below but never saw any of this stuff 'in action' so don't know what to expect.

[DjLunchbox]

i am very intrested in this, possiblily for both trucks :D do you think htat foam will help keep the exhaust noise down if i double that up on the floor as well as the mat?

[nebraskaz71]

Ive got some of all of this stuff and I can say i've only done front doors and front floor pans and I could notice a diff. Lil off topic but I've got a ton of foam laying here yet.... would it do anything to lay that over the matting I have on front floor pans?

[DSZ71]

RAAm Mat is a butyl based deadener. The closed cell foam will definately improve your sound deadening. As long as you only use 1 or 2 layers of matting and 1 layer of the foam, its not an issure to get the panels back on. Now that doesnt mean to go overboard and use a chit load of layers, you will be fine. I would not hesitate to get this product in your ride, and especially since you are planning on running those RE xxxs back there...

The deadener in my truck is about 3/4" thick. I have no problems.

[nebraskaz71]

i think i'll lay the rest of my foam on my floor

[indiglo5997]

So it's safe to say that the first package will be enough to do everything in a standard cab? I.E. floor, roof, behind seats under sill plates, doors etc???

Any Taker's???

[Rob4x4]

Im sure it would be but I ordered the mid grade level that way if I ever need extra for whatever reason.

good call!

[davecaris]

I have a 03 cc that really needs this, would the "going all out"
be enough for all doors, floor, firewall, side trim panels. i will not be using it on the roof, thanks!

[steve350]

I just got in on the deal. I used dynamat in the past, but this stuff looks a lot better for the $$.

[Rob4x4]

I got my order yesterday. Ordered on fri and got mon great service. Not sure when Im gonna get it put in or if Im gonna have some else do it so we will see.

[DjLunchbox]

[indiglo5997]

[ccreddell]

[Rob4x4]

I think it was only for a month but Im not sure.

[indiglo5997]

I think it was only for a month but Im not sure.

So it's already over???:thud:

[82burb]

That is just not :cool:!

[robzila]

Im sure if you sent Rick an email asking to be included that it would not be a problem. He's a great guy and his products are awesome. I've done both my truck and my car, and cant say enough about how much a difference it makes.

[Joseph K]

Any plans for another one of these this year?

Joseph

[93chevyecsb]

I used B quiet in my old truck, It made me happy.

My doors clunk while closing and were kind of loud, but after the install on doors, they made a nice click ;)

And after I did the rest of the cab my stereo sounded so much better as well as lost the exhaust noise and road noise from the cab, I will be buying more in the spring for my ext cab

[95_Sierra]

someone should organize another one, i would be in...

[GLN305]

So would I

[mabutler]

I'd be in too.

[2005_Silverado]

Im in too

[Low88]

im in.

[95_Sierra]

No one wants to handle setting one up?

[jrod77]

how do we set one up

[mabutler]

how do we set one up
I think you have to call them and do some paperwork and get so many people to buy.

[ZachSB3]

id be in i need some bad :eek:

[Joseph K]

Ask rick if he will still honor it... I wouldn't doubt if he actually did. Great guy :thumbup:

[2005_Silverado]

I contacted RIck asking if we could set something up. I'll keep you guys posted!

[mabutler]

Sounds good.

[2005_Silverado]

So I heard back from Rick...heres the email:
Eddie,
Thanks for your interest in a GB on the forum, I had an email last week
from a member wanting to set one up so I have him a bit of info(very
easy to run on your end since I do everything, most everything at
least:). I also asked him to get permission from the site admin before
we could proceed. You may want to check to see if anything is going on
with it or not, if not then possibly you can ask admin:)

Thanks, have a great new week!
Rick

Looks like someone already contacted him.

[mabutler]

Well i'm still in whoever is running it.

[thekl0wn]

Rick's supposed to be sending me the updated info to post up a new Group Buy thread with the updated info, so look for a new thread in the Group Buy section (probably by me) for a RAAM Mat group buy.
