The dynamat on the inside of the rear cup is a very minor mod that reduces some plastic resonances from the rear cup. Though I could hear a minor difference, I'd chock that up to optional. If done, you must cover the interior dynamat with paxmate for the mod.
Silverstone probably is somewhat different from Paxmate, so I can't comment on the effect on bass. The bass on mine is quite powerful. Did you remove the stock felt, and how open are the vents? Also, which pads are you using?
I haven't used dynamat on the ear-side of the cup. That's actually my next experiment, where I will be to do a mod which is reversible and will use dyanmat on the ear side without any internal clay.
1) Stock felt is in place over the bass vents.
2) None of the vents are closed off, yet.
3) Stock pads, for now. However, for my head / ears, the stock pad has a very good fit. I find it adapts quite well in my situation. Though, I'm not opposed to trying alternatives, that could be better.
I'm at least trying to best my HE-400 and finally my HE-5LE to convince myself that these can be modified to those levels.
