“I had the opportunity to test-drive these mats at the 2021 Steel Valley Regional competition. Shortly after placing them on the amplifiers, I could hear a noticeable difference in the audio sound in my vehicle. Everything was crisper and more detailed. I took some time after the competition to do my own research on the process Dennis explained. I consulted faculty who specialize in electromagnetic engineering. The final consensus was that the mats are the real deal. Any time electricity is introduced to a metal surface it creates an electromagnetic field. This field dampens the ability of speaker wires from sending their true potential – detailed and accurate sound signals.

After consulting with my installation team at Custom Audio in Erie, PA, we decided to give the mats a full go and install into the current system. I am in constant awe of how much more detail I’m hearing in the vehicle. Drums are snappier. Transitions are smoother. Overall, this is a great investment into my current system. I cannot wait to fine tune it more and blow people away on the competition circuit. Well done, Dennis, well done!”
