This Amazon Basics sound deadening mat is a thin butyl foil sheet that works best for reducing rattles and higher frequency noise in cars, cabinets, and other metal enclosures. It can make a trunk, NAS, or metal cabinet noticeably quieter, and the 10 square feet is enough for many smaller jobs. The main tradeoffs are heavy labor to install, careful surface prep, and limited help for subwoofer vibration or permanent door installs. It is also described as less robust than premium damping products, though still useful for extra soundproofing.
Common Questions (5)
It can reduce trunk rattle and exhaust drone, especially on the trunk floor and spare-tire area. It is better at high-frequency noise and general panel damping than at low-frequency subwoofer vibration.
The pack provides 10 square feet total, which is enough for many smaller jobs like a trunk, cabinet, or a few NAS panels. It is less economical per square foot than larger 36-sq-ft packs, but the smaller amount can still be a good buy if you only need limited coverage.
It is not a good choice for a permanent door install, and it will not do much for subwoofer vibration. It works better for sealing gaps and damping thinner panels, while door seals or thicker rubber materials are better for low-frequency problems.
It can smell initially, but the odor may fade over time and some installs report no noticeable smell in the trunk. Using it inside enclosed areas can raise drive temperatures, so it is better suited to exterior panel damping than heat-sensitive internal installs.
Installation is labor-intensive, and prep matters as much as the install itself. Clean the surface well, apply it evenly, then use a roller or firm pressure to remove air and improve adhesion.

For your subwoofer, this is not thick and dense enough. This is designed to be thin and flexible enough to install in cars. For a subwoofer, you'd want something more like those interlocking rubber floor tiles you see in weight rooms
and no it doesnt smell like asphalt or some kinda toxin......it DID initially but its been years and to this day if i pop my trunk i dont go OMG ROOFERS ARE HERE lol....
