HushMat
Wave Breaker

Wave Breaker is used to eliminate standing wave or back wave in every speaker in your car, truck, boat, RV, office and home.

When the Wave Breaker is placed behind the speaker, the back waves are absorbed and broken up in the foam’s cellular structure. This prevents the bounce back which eliminates distortion. Therefore, you get all the music you paid for out of that speaker. It is simple to use and cuts with a pair of scissors.

HushMat Wave Breaker pads are adhesive backed and very easy to install. Just peel and stick. HushMat is the only OEM specified and approved sound deadening and thermal insulating material available to the automotive aftermarket.
