sound deadening
« on: 05 April 2007, 23:17 »
I'm thinking about fitting Second Skin Damplifier or Damplifier Pro in the car (once i get one) was thinking of doing the lot the roof, floor, doors ect not too bothered about cost as i know it will be alot but my questions is. Is it worth the money to fit it in the all of the car mainly is the effect of the mats worth the money and effort to fit hope that makes sence and someone can help.

Cheers Tri

dynamat always helps door spks sound much better as do the door linings but you can get the same stuff as dynamat for much cheaper but without the name, google will help you with that! if you are going to have subs the boot is always worth doing to stop the noise being lost as you move forward ( or at least try too! ). sound deadening can add quiet a bit of weight too and i have never really heared of doing the whole car, give it a go by all means, i wouldnt like to do it though!

It won't be fun but you'll have a nice quiet car roadnoise wise and some nice deep bass as well, most demo cars for Rockford Fosgate, Infinity, Pioneer etc are sound deadened throughout and it does make a big difference.

Probably got lost in the "Great Crash of 08

On all our demo cars we use Dynamat we have used other brands in the past and have always gone back to Dynamat it really good its not the cheapest but its worth every penny forum sponsor Rtuk can provide this for you. :)

ear plugs would do the same thing?

I've used flashing tape on my car, added about 4-5kg in weight I figure eat a few less McD/BKs/KFCs.
Done 2 layers in boot floor, doors, rear bench, rear 3/4 panel, and 3 layers behind speakers. Total cost of £30 for 6 sqr metres (64 sqr feet), in 10m rolls 20cm wide.

Overall effect is reduced volume from road/exhaust noise but still present. Might consider adding a layer of real sound deadening.
