Sound Deadening

Hey, I sent an email around octoberish about deadening my 08 scion xb but never received a reply. I don't know if the email got lost or what. I rechecked the address and it was the same as what everyone says to reach you at. If there is a better way to contact you about sds products just let me know. Hope to hear from you as these xcons are doing some work on my car.

I recently primered my chevy nova's hatchback trunk lid with one coat of primer just so it wouldnt have a yellow trunk and primered body. I was wondering how would I prep the underside of the lid with acetone if it removes paint/primer? I hope this isnt a stupid question haha i just couldnt find the answer anywhere else.

hey guys. i have a 99 dodge durango and i cant seem to stop the rattle from it. i now have heavy duty foam inside the gate and still rattles over the top of the bass

Some weeks ago I bought a sheet of Dynamat Extreme (4sq feet) to check out if it really helped about the rattling. I knew 4sq feet was pretty much small, i couldn't even fill half of my trunk lid, but I just wanted to know if it really does a difference. (Im short on my budget haha) I thought it did, because at this time I was using my sealed box, but when I put back my ported box, rattling was horrible. When I say horrible, I mean that I set my sound as little as 5-6 (there is little to no bass inside my car, even if the rear seat is opened) and my trunk lid actually rattle... I know ported box causes air displacement because of the port, which causes more rattling, but…

Hello just wanted some feedback on this product. Also wanted to see If anybody was running it in there vehicle. Bought the bulk box from Darvex which had a really good deal with free shipping. Just really tired of my whole car rattling terrible on the outside.

I haven't done any sounddeading yet. the only really bad rattle you hear on my car are the sides mirrors. when i open the door they stop. would CLD on the doors stop this(i guess by preventing the vibration from reaching the mirrors) or is there any way to deaden the mirrors without seeing anything extra on them. they are the foldable mirrors by the way

So I just popped off the door panel for the front right door of my fusion and I realized that there is a metal piece that covers the actual inside door part. Should I take off the metal piece and do the inside door or should I just put it around where you can see in the pic. I'm using the SDS CLD tiles now and possibly later doing the other 2. Just want to do what's best. Thanks!

what can i do or use to reduce road noise i have a 2000 silverado single cab, and has a lowered suspension, so i hear everything from the road, also installed a flowmaster, and when going at 60, it bothers me enough that i sometimes cant hear the music thanks

After fixing the trunk , had some leftover MLV and I suddenly had an idea of putting it in the rear wheel arch. If I can block the noise at the source, then it would be more efficient right? Removed the wheel arch liner and placed the MLV around 1/3 all the way from the bottom(see pics). What surprises me is that there is more drone than before. Help me understand this , how does placing a sound barrier on the wheel arch increase the drone, I can't wrap my head around that. It seems totally unrelated.

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

what are peoples go to's for damping exhaust noise and engine/valve train noise? i have already done the firewall and trans tunnel but I'm also looking to mute things at the source a bit. the high temp of the engine bay is the hurdle i think. id also like to do something to keep the heat from the manifolds, turbos, and exaust from anything else.

is it any good and what is it comparable too?

Is there any benifit do deadening an enclosure? I have thought about using a product called "green glue" sandwiched between two layers of mdf. It is intended for use between drywall and it is amazing! I used it in my condo and do not jear the neighbors at all anymore. It converts sound energy to heat and disperses it through the material. http://www.greengluecompany.com

Ok, I got a package from Don the other day and started deadening my doors today. I started with the passenger side first. I applied the CLD on inner doorskin outer door skin, cut the ccf and mlv and glued them together. I made small square cut outs for the clips and only a few of them will engage and clip to the door. I'm so damn frustrated with wrestling with this thing, any ideas? Maybe cut the squares around the clips larger?

So I have very limited knowledge on deadening. I am leasing my 2011 civic the road noise is pretty significant. I want a little more midbass from my doors and don't want to do a lot considering its a lease. Should I just do the door skins and not cover all the big holes incase I need to replace say a power window motor under warranty or something. I'm not wanting to deaden the entire car just front doors and maybe the trunk. I was also looking at dynamat extreme on ebay for what seems a good price. 18x32 roll for $25 you tell me if that's a deal or not. thanks

First time sound deadening. Doing the front doors, rear deck, trunk, and trunk lid of an 07 Altima. Got CLD tiles, MLV, CCF, and EBR from SDS. Did the trunk lid, top of rear deck, and the front doors so far (only half way done with the doors). Been taking pics along the way. Trunk lid, Top of rear deck, Doors, Speakers, Everything look good so far?

Hey guys I have been referred to SDS for sound deadener and i would like to order today. Can someone help me get in contact with Don. I've been trying to reach him since yesterday and got no reply to my emails or anything like that I'm pretty sure is a faster way to get in touch with me. If you have his number please inbox it to me or have him call me on my cell phone (870) 794-3 two six eight.

After googling around and not having any luck I decided to post here because of the "vibration control" topic in this forum. I would like to mount my amplifier on the back of my box without rattling it to death. I have looked at some youtube videos ( and it looked like he has only a mdf board between his amp and box. I was looking and found several things on the net but lots of them are expensive:Silicone Anti-Shock mats Rubber Screws Anti - Shock pads Anti vibration mats I do have some of the foam they use to sound deaden recording studios so I was thinking just putting three or four mats of that sandwiched between either a soft or hard piece of wood to mount my amp on…

If my port and sub are firing foward into the car from the trunk and sealed off, is there any benefit sound-wise to putting sound deadening material in the trunk? I am on a budget and have some second skin, I just want to know if I should deaden the trunk or the inside of my car first. The box I have built has to be put together in the trunk because it is bigger than the trunk opening, so once it is in it is really in. I have a 15" XCON being powered by a DC 5.0K at 2 ohms (2300 watts nominal). Should I deaden the trunk or concentrate on the interior of the car, best bang for my buck? Thank you for your help.

I have an 02 gmc extended cab truck. Im currently running two AQHDC3 10s powered by an saz3000d and will be installing a sax100.4 later. Right now im getting lots of roof flex and rattling. Was curious which I should get if only running the amount of said power? Also how many layers and where.

so my second skin came into day. 67 pound of HUSHHING furry lol. i got a bulk pack 36 SQFT of damplifier pro 4 sheets 36 SQFT of luxury liner pro maybe too much! and a pack of speaker tweekers ... started on it today.. lincoln doors are very hard to get in, only 1 small opening . i can say so far.. the damp pro goes on nicer then other products, is sticking well, and it looks good.. ok back to work!!
