Sound Deadening

I am very interested in this topic and after a google search I kept being redirected here, so i signed up. i read don's forst pinned post ashphalt vs sound deadener. i must say my opinion was the same as the examples "well it worked good till it fell off on the second hot day" and i was "that guy" saying stuff like "hey you can get that stuff from home depot" well i am willing to conceed and try a different aproach for this new project. my vehicle is a commercial truck, a 5 ton like a moving truck you probably see making deliveries in your city. i have no hood, it is a tilt cab so i sit directly overtop the engine and cooling fan. after a HP upgrade and a 2nd turbo charge…

So i was curious on some of the responses of the murder mat. The MDK and the BL series. I am really gonna need deadener after i get my seccond gcon in my van coz it already rattles enough hahahaha.

Hey Guys, So I have a 93 Honda Civic Sedan and Im looking to achieve some modern age luxury car silence out of this thing. Now, you might think that isnt too hard but I have swapped out the standard 1.6 engine for a new JDM Type R 2.0 liter engine with a fat exhaust. I've got solid engine mounts that send vibrations throughout the car to make matters much worse. Now, Ive gone with good ol' Second Skin for my brand of choice and getting it locally via the Second Skin representation since I am from South Africa. Now, Ive plastered Damplifier Pro throughout the interior of the vehicle (1 layer, with a 2nd layer in the boot area and outter layer of the doors) (but have nothin…

I have a 03 ford explorer that I'm planning on doing a full build on soon hopefully over the winter. I have a seasonal job so I'm free all winter. I want to do this the right way so I figured I would start with sound deadening. I think I'm going to go with second skin damplifier but I'm unsure about how much I will need to order. I think I will do the roof and the doors rear hatch included. Does anyone know approximately how many sq. feet I would need?

Got a 4 door, but only plan on running two speakers in the front. Is it going to make a difference if I deaden the rear doors?

Okay here directly i am going to be ordering some cdl tiles and perhaps a roll of MLV but my question is, if i put the mvl on to block engine noise would peeling the firewall off the center console insert and puting it behind there and then under my carpet on my floor work to block the engine noise. and in my van would it be easier/cheaper to use dynamat on the back walls and just cdl the doors just need a little extra tips on what i can do. thanks fellas

I have a jeep liberty 2009. The picture is of the door which has aa solid plastic liner. Where do I need to put sound deadening material on the plastic or the metal of the door?

heys guys, so i just finished installing 36 sq feet of deadner in my car and it helped out tremendously. the anoying rattles i heard before are gone and even the ones on the outside for the most part. after installing it though it seems my subs do not hit as hard as they had before and i was wondering if anyone has had the same results as i did. i have a 2003 celica and i installed the deadner on the inside and outer door skins and did this all the way back into the trunk

I was wondering what you guys have heard about Secondskins Damplifier Pro? I plan on ordering the door kit this weekend

I upgraded speakers in Challenger and with better bass comes a little vibration in the rear package tray. It's installed correctly, just rattling/vibrating over and behind the sub. I placed a small piece of rubber between the tray and the rear window and that helped some but on some notes still getting the rattle. Any easy fixes here?

For the past month i sent 4 emails to [email protected] for more information on his products and what I should use for my trailblazer. He hasn't emailed me back. Is there another way I can contact him? I dont know if he's out of town or if his email changed, I just want to deaden my vehicle lol.

So ive got several rolls of this, and im considering selling it on the forums, but I figured Id try and post here to see if its something people would be interested in buying. Ive already used it in several places in my car, and I use it daily at work, its a quality product. http://www.kasonind.com/index.php/products/fabrication_supplies/7513_tacky_tape/ http://www.schneemorehead.com/pdf-sm/SM5227TDS.pdf

I am running 2 SA-12's of an SAX-1200D in a 2001 Ford Expedition. My back hatch and doors were rattling pretty bad. Got a hold of Don for 40 CLD tiles. From ordering to getting it to my house took about 5 days. I did the back hatch and two front doors, did 25% coverage and the difference is really noticable. Great product and easy guy to deal with. I will definitely buy from him again!!!! I used only 14 of the tiles and my truck sounds a lot better, I will do the other two doors next weekend.

This is a dumb question I'm sure. I've searched here and on the web and still haven't found an answer. Even looked at the Mazda install pics. I'm happy to have a big box here in front of me from a Mr Don. I've seen pics of the cod tiles installed on the outer door skin and other pics of it on the inner. By inner I am refering to where the door panel mounts. Which is correct? My goal is to block road noise and help improve the sound quality of my mids. I do have MLV to mount on as well. And I didi figure out where that goes lol. Thanks!

Alright.. Along with using CLD tiles for deadening, Im thinking im actually going to need to brace my trunk? Im just looking to talk to someone who has actually done this before, Obviously the CLD tiles are going to do a fair amount of work but the fact that i already have the trunk covered in Dynamat I really think im going to need to do more.. The rattle is intolerable, I can actually hear it over the noise in the base when im sitting in the drivers seat and all the windows up. I really hope someone can help, or give some input.

Alright, obviously this isnt very possible but i want to cut out as much rattle as possible. I already have a single layer of Dynamat and its not working. My rear bumper is rattling like crazy, trunk is rattling, rear-quarter panel basically everything from the C-Panel back. Iv been looking into SDS, a good cost effective choice. Im guessing my best bet is MLV tile but im not really sure if ill need anything else? Also, iv heard to eliminate quarter panel rattle is to use a shaped piece of MDF and spray foam. Tell me what you think. Total noob when it comes to deadening. Help me out.

I have a question on what i could possibly do to get rid of the rattling in my e-150 van?

Well on the hunt for sound damping material I came across a ton of manufactures and I am not sure which ones are good these days. Please let me know who makes a good one. Dynamat Hushmat Rockford Fosgate [not sure if they still make their own] Second Skin Stinger Roadkill That is the only ones I heard of. Thank you.

I want to deaden the doors in my Escape so you can't hear the door speakers outside. Currently there is a factory deadener/insulation behind the plastic door panel, so that would come out and be replaced. What should I use to replace that and then what should I use to cancel noise from leaving the cabin? And how much of each for four doors.

i'm about to buy some sds. Should i put CLD Tiles on the door then cover them up with the MLV? And how many cld tiles will i need to door 4 doors and the hatch lid? I need help ASAP!!!

I want to completely deaden the inside of my vehicle with SSD's CLD, CCF, and MLV. Vehicle is a 2-door Jeep Wrangler 04' hardtop, the interior of a jeep has less plastic trim than most other vehicles... from the floor to the window line is sheet metal covered in a layer of carpet.... Will that make any difference in the approach I should take? The door panels have been glassed on the bottom to house 2 6.5's and a tweeter, and there is about 3/4" gap between the sheet metal and the inside of the door panel. I think 3/4" will be enough to get a layer of CLD, CCF, and MLV in there? One of my concerns is if I will be able to install the MLV and CCF on the ceiling, I don't wa…

hi everyone have a question. i just spent last weekend installing dynamate extreme in my 01 kia sportage to get rid of my rattles due to a small budget which made a big difference but i am still getting rattle in my doors and my hatch. and i was wondering if using some spray on sound deadening help even more.

I'm ordering new carpet. Will soon be outfitting the truck with SDS, but want to know if I should buy the mass-backed carpet for an extra $50 or not?

I will be gettin 50sq ft of deadner, I have a 2000gmc sierra ext cab. How much would that do me for? Has anyone ever deadened this body style? I will be doing the roof, back wall, and floor. Also the doors if I have any left over.
