    First of all you need to be sure an read up on Don's site.  There's TONS of good information there for the how and why of sound deadening.  Second Skin does make a fine product, there's no question there, but honestly Don's products are truly fantastic AND it's not that much of a hassle to order them.  Each time I've ordered stuff from him he had replied with a quote within 24hrs (two out of the three orders it was only a couple of hours) and after I sent the payment he had them shipped out within a day or two.

     

    For the best results I would highly recommend using all the products (CLD, CCF & MLV) and you won't have to worry about sealing anything.

     

     

     

    I have been reading his site. Its not the hassle of ordering it.  Its the hassle of installing it.

    I have a 2007 ram quad cab.  I bought a set of hertz energy esk 165.5 comps.  I was just thinking about deadening my doors.  I emailed don as sds I really don't want to go to that much hassle.  I know that you can't seal the door and such.  I just was wondering if second skin is any good to put a little deadener on the door.  I have not ever deadened a door did a few trunk lids in my day but have never had this nice of front component set.

    Ok I so I bought this truck a month and ago.  It is a 2007 ram quad cab 1500.  Basic 17" wheels and base stereo with a powerseat.  I bought the 20" wheels and tires that you see on it.  The wheels were $325 for the set.  I work for a car dealership and got the tires for $500.  275/55/20. 

     

    My plans are:

    1. stereo system

    2. lower it

    3. cold air intake

    4. Just in the mean time take the nerf bars off and all the badges are removed. 

     

     

     

     

    Oh yeah the system is in my signature but here ya go.

    Kenwood x998

    Have thought about 2 Dcon first generation 12's in that same box with polly fill. Im running mine in in about .8cuft each with 1/2pound polly fill sealed. Sounds great. I'll sell you mine for a cheap price. Tring to move up to Gcons.

    I'm not buying 12's. I went with jl audio 10w0v3 or 10w1v3. I have the w0's now but can return them and get the w1 which is what I may do.

    Kenwood x998 $199

    jl audio 10w0v3 $75x2

    stinger RCA cables

    Pac dodge interface $65

    Well here they are modeled.  I used one sub per and 150 watts.  Box size based on my .63 minus displacements roughly from my memory. 

     

    Also I have been doing this a long time but never truly understood the T/S parameters of a sub.  Care to explain what you were talking about?

     

    BTW thanks for everyones help and input.  I visit multiple sites and this thread has the best answers of any of them.  Most are like just take out your backseat and put a 15" or why not 2 12's or other stuff im not even gonna consider.   I am using 2 tens sealed with 300 watts for now.  That is subject to change though.  Depending on which subs I buy also

    I am stuck between the jl 10w1v3 and id10 v3.  they are very comparable. 

     

    Not so much when you compare all the specs such as QTS and VAS. You are only looking at Price and RMS values.

     

    The JL woofer requires much less space per woofer. If you have done the work already and the ID modeled the best then go for it. Do you mind posting the graphs from each woofer?

     

    Well i can when i get home.  Ill just screenshot them correct?

    Ok so i have narrowed down my search to JL 10w1v3, sundown e10, or id10v3. They are all very similiar in price. Please don't bash jl saying they overpriced and the such. I would like real opinions on these subs. I have .63ft^3 before displacement for each sub. There is no other box or anything like that. This is what i have and im gonna use. I have a jl xd 500/3 that I can use. That amp would be fine for the id10's or the jl. The sundowns would need a bigger amp i realize that.

     

    All of this is in a 2007 ram 1500 quad cab. I have a prefab atrend bbox under the rear seats. I know this site is very sundown and ssa heavy in recomendations but the dcon is out of my price range and I don't really want to buy a new amp. I will if it comes down to it though. I have modeled them out on win isd and they are all very similar in response curve and spl curve. The id10 modeled out the best of all of them.

    ok well I do a little more looking at the dcon's.  I have a FI X 10" but the basket is too big and FI isn't sell this X anymore.  So 2 is out of the question.  I had it in 1.25ft^3 tuned to 33hz and it was alright.  I didn't have enough power but it did the job.  Im just afraid ill do the same thing with these subs especially if I spend this much on subs.  My amp is $175 if I buy the alpine m500d or something.  The newest alpine.  That would give me more power but im afraid that these dcon's are gonna need more power than that.
