Dynmat CAN short a speaker connection if it is touch both positive and negative correct?

I believe the foil covering can be conductive...

Mac, Cody ?

Ya know, Ive never thought about it but it is an but it is an aluminum backing so I would say yes it could be possible.

[eloplayspolo]

well i mean its on my rear deck, and my speaker is pushed through the hole Tight as a virgin on prom night, which is a good thing of course, just the speaker doesnt play music when i connect it to the head unit, so im thinking thats what it is.

Clean out the area around the speaker connections...

[eloplayspolo]

lol thats what i was planning on doing, dont sass me. BUt i wanted to make sure that it WAS possible for dynamat to short out a speaker.

[1996blackmax]

I did not want to take a chance, so I always made sure that the area around the connections were clear of at least the foil part.

YES! It is absolutely conductive.

YES! It is absolutely conductive.

word to your mother.

Thought of the day kids:
Yes, metal is conductive...yay!

and on a side note, it is also a bad idea to put it in the microwave to heat it up, just in case you were wondering.

So much for my plans of dynamatting this winter :p

[eloplayspolo]

hahahaha thanks. Too bad Southern California Sunshine > than winter when it comes to dynamating.

When I was doing my floor in the winter, I would start the truck and put my damplifier under the hood to heat it up.

I've used my heatgun before.

[najahaja]

a heatgun will be fine, as it will make the mat more malleable. However, I think what exalted512 was getting at is that the alluminium in the microwave would cause that arcing seen when putting metallic items in :)

anyone ever dry the dish washer on the pots and pans cycle
