ResoNix Fiber Mat
Black Edition

       ResoNix Fiber Mat Black Edition features an automotive-grade adhesive to allow for an easy and lifetime-lasting install. ResoNix Fiber Mat is an automotive sound absorber that works via the microscopic fibers that convert the passing acoustic energy into mechanical energy (the moving of the fibers) and thermal energy, from the friction of moving through the scattered fibers.

       It being so soft and plush also offers it to not just being an automotive sound absorbing mat, but also acts as an excellent decoupler that can be used in doors, rear decks, and anywhere else you can fit it.

       It is a better decoupler than any Closed Cell Foam on the market as it is extremely soft and compliant and is highly suggested to be used on any larger panels. Due to the nature of the product, we still offer our CCF Decoupler products to handle the decoupling of small panels and to spot-treat certain areas.

Note: Do not use this inside of a door cavity. Use ResoNix Guardian or ResoNix Lockout for sound absorption purposes that location.

The Ultimate Sound Absorbing Product.

Areas of Use For A Sound Absorber In Cars & Trucks

       ResoNix Fiber Mat Black Edition is a perfect product to use in between door panels and the inner door skin as a decoupler, replacing commonly used closed cell foam to eliminate pesky rattles from the doors. It also acts as a sound absorber here for outside wind/tire/road noise that is entering through the doors, as well as astray midbass frequencies from door-mounted speakers.

       One of the more common locations for a sound absorber, use ResoNix Fiber Mat Black Edition in your headliner to absorb and eliminate the largest source of wind noise, the roof. This will also help improve low-frequency transient response in vehicles being built for high-end sound systems by absorbing sound energy before it can resonate the roof skin. Please note, this is more difficult on vehicles with sunroofs, and you need to be mindful of making sure you do not block or impede the operation of the sunroof.

       Use ResoNix Fiber Mat Black Edition on the inside of your fender liners (hidden side), and/or on the metal body of the wheel well. This will greatly reduce noise that is being generated by your tires smacking the pavement, and from wind noise and turbulence from entering the cabin through this area.

       Use ResoNix Fiber Mat Black Edition in between rear deck panels and the metal portion that is underneath if fitment allows. This achieves two things. First, it serves as an excellent decoupler to eliminate rattles from this area that are caused by sound systems, which result muddy and distracting bass from trunk-installed subwoofers. Second, it reduces external noise that is entering the cabin from the trunk. This is especially important if your vehicle has a louder exhaust, or has an abnormal amount of rear tire noise, or rear wind noise.

       ResoNix Fiber Mat Black Edition is the perfect choice to fit on an interior firewall to absorb noise and reduce heat making their way into the cabin from the engine bay.

       A, B, & C Pillars all benefit from the installation of ResoNix Fiber Mat Black Edition to help with preventing and reducing rattles by decoupling the panels from the body, and will help greatly with absorbing wind noise that are common from these areas.

ResoNix Fiber Mat Specifications

  • Hydrophobic and mold/mildew resistant. Water is of no concern for this product.
  • Cutting the product with heavy duty scissors and will usually create a sealed edge. Open edges are fine, but if agitated, this can cause fibers to pull out of the opening. Do NOT cut with a razor blade or box cutter. It will not cut cleanly. Scissors only. 
  • Use INSIDE of doors on outer door skins at your own risk. 
  • Our automotive sound absorbing mat absorbs sound best when left uncompressed. Having it compressed in certain tight areas is fine, especially for decoupling purposes, but do not try to stuff areas as tight as possible if your goal is acoustic absorption. It wastes product and decreases its overall acoustic absorption performance.
  • Remember, what makes one fibrous acoustic absorber better than others comes down to its construction. The smaller the fibers, and the less they support each other, the easier it is for sound energy to cause them to vibrate. This transfer of energy is the exact event that is required to reduce sound. This means that the product is by nature weak, and easy to tear apart. The peel and stick adhesive that it features is very easy to peel from the base if you are not careful. This is not a defect. This is just the nature of a product where you are designing it to be able to absorb as much sound as possible. Adding any resins to the mix to strengthen the non-woven mat would drastically reduce acoustic absorption performance. Using a weaker adhesive would have no effect on needing to be careful when peeling the paper backing.

How does ResoNix Fiber Mat compare to other sound-deadening materials on the market?

       ResoNix Fiber Mat sets itself apart by being a fibrous sound absorber rather than a traditional sound deadener. Unlike Constrained Layer Damping (CLD) materials that primarily address structural vibrations, and previously popular closed-cell foams that offer ZERO sound absorption, it effectively absorbs and reduces airborne noise inside the vehicle. ResoNix was among the first companies to introduce a proper, automotive-grade sound absorber to the aftermarket, offering a more efficient solution for reducing unwanted cabin noise compared to conventional materials.

Can I remove or reposition the Fiber Mat after installation?

      You can remove or reposition the it as long as you haven’t applied pressure to set the adhesive. Once pressure is applied and the adhesive bonds, removing or repositioning the mat becomes difficult and may risk damaging the product. This is due to the strong automotive-grade adhesive used to ensure a secure bond with zero risk of melting or failure. Therefore, it’s important to plan your installation carefully before pressing the mat into place.

Does the Fiber Mat help improve the performance of my car's audio system?

       Yes, it can greatly enhance your car’s audio system performance. It acts as an excellent decoupler by preventing panels from buzzing and vibrating against each other, which can cause distortion and distractions. Also, by adding some pressure which stabilizes these panels which reduces resonance, leading to lower distortion and clearer sound quality. Additionally, it diminishes road, tire, and wind noise, effectively lowering the noise floor. This reduction in ambient noise allows you to enjoy your music without unwanted interference, providing a more immersive listening experience.

How much do I need for a full vehicle installation?

      It’s difficult to provide an exact amount because every vehicle is different in size and design. To determine how much you’ll need, we recommend reading our ResoNix Buyers Guide. This guide offers detailed suggestions for various parts of the vehicle, helping you calculate the appropriate quantity based on your specific needs.

What is the difference between ResoNix Fiber Mat Black Edition and Fiber Mat Silver?

     The primary difference between Fiber Mat Black Edition and Fiber Mat Silver is the top scrim material. Both products are identical in their sound absorption, decoupling, and thermal insulation properties. However, the Silver version features an aluminum scrim that acts as a radiant heat barrier. This aluminum layer enhances its ability to reflect radiant heat, making it especially effective for reducing heat transfer.

       The Fiber Mat Silver is ideal for applications like the underside of car hoods and the engine side of the firewall, where additional heat reduction is beneficial. By reflecting radiant heat away from the vehicle interior, it adds to its thermal insulation capabilities. The Black Edition lacks this aluminum scrim and is suited for general sound absorption and insulation purposes within the vehicle.

       In summary, while both editions offer the same high-quality performance in sound absorption and thermal insulation, the Fiber Mat Silver’s aluminum scrim provides added radiant heat protection for areas exposed to higher temperatures.
