Sound Deadening

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?

Getting terrible rattles coming from a stock spoiler in a 2008 Grand Prix. What's the recommended treatment here? My first thought is taking it off and drilling a small hole to shoot expanding foam in. Unsure how the expanding foam really works and if it has any negatives.

Hey all I'm looking to add some sound deadener to my vehicle but not looking to do the entire vehicle. Just trying to get the spots on the car that will help out the most. Around the speakers? A few Strips on the outer door panel? On the hatch? Just looking to get a small kit maybe 10-20sq ft. I'm just doing a budget build and not trying to spend too much. I figure with this product some is better than none.

Was up, Ive been here a bunch of times and just now am I starting to post, This forum has changed and I like it, vs when I originally signed up..I mainly hung out on the OG PG Phorum, DIYaudo,Diyma,sd etc under the same user name of Freshkryp69, Ive sold tons of amps on ebay but haven't in awhile (sick of paypals shit).. I Had another kid in 07 my beautiful daughter and I put everything on the back burner audio wise, but kept most of my equipment for that one day, now my kids are 19 & 6 in school full time so now I have time to play again! In my noob days I thought I was the shit for figuring out that the $15 roll of asphalt based Peel-n-Sea…

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.

Well the rear dash Is shaking a lot now, broke some clips that hold in the 6x9s into the dash, lots of rattle via the back trunk. I'm familiar with fat mat as I've used it before, but I'm looking to only spend about 50-60 bucks on some sort of sound proofing material to use on my back trunk, top lining and the bottom where the 6x9s are(ill probably just take them out for good). Would probably need about 50 Or so sq ft. What would be some good options/alternatives? I heard about just using roofing material insulation with. The tar/rubber based bottom from home depot. What would be the downside to using a material like that?

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

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 purchased an Atrend 12dq dual sealed enclosure, 1.25 ft3 per sub, .75" thick MDF, miter joint and dado groove. supposedly one of the best built prefabs you can get and seems to be true from inspection. Though i plan to get a couple of subs that are optimized for 1.25 sealed, probably w6.2's. I was testing it out with a W3v3 JL sub and i noticed....just like every other sub box i have ever used or built, when hand placed on box, i can feel some vibration. In the past, i used to coat the interior with fiberglass, truck bed liner..etc, whatever i could think of that would lessen it, but i'm not sure if it really helps the sub or not...i never really did a side by side comp…

Just bought my firdt classic car. 1966 Cadillac DeVille drop top. Have 1 jl w7 in trunk and she rattles like crazy. This is a classic worth money so I dont want to f anything up but need to get rid of the rsttles asap. Is there one that is somewhat easily removable that wint ruin the paint. If I ever sell, another collector wont buy with this installed. Appreciate the advice and opinions!

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.

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?

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 bought a large roll of "Edead" (From Elemental designs when they were still in business) sound deadener about 5 years ago, and it was stored in my garage in a cool dry place and I just came across it and decided to use it for my current system. However when I peeled back the white plastic it's not very tacky at all. I wonder if it was like this when I purchased it 5 years ago or if it got this way from sitting around for 5 years? Is there a shelf life on sound deadener? It still has a little bit of tackiness left, is there any way I can salvage it and use it? Is there something I can apply to it that might reactivate the adheasive? Or what about applying another t…

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…

Whats up???? has anyone heard of audio barrier? If so is the stuff any good cause its soo much cheaper than the other dampening companies out there. if you have any info id like to know thanks.

I'm going to be firing my subs and port forward and sealing off the trunk from the cabin. So far, I only have my front doors and trunk lid deadened. I only bought 36 sq ft of dynamat extreme (I live 5 minutes from the factory, gotta support them haha), what should I deaden primarily first? Because I'm sealing off from the trunk, do I even need to deaden anything in the trunk?

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.

I was just wondering if it is ok to use that rubberized undercoating stuff that comes in a can for the inside of speaker boxes? If it is possible to use would I benefit from it? I'm not looking to but if I do thats fine, I really just want to seal up any "potential" leaks and make sure it won't hurt.

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.

Mark from Car Audio Fab has released another sweet install video using Second Skin products to sound deaden his car. Check it out as he installs Damplifier, Luxury Liner, Over Kill, and Foil Tape...... Second Skin For The Win!!!http://www.caraudiofabrication.com/#!7---sound-deaden-interior/cfhf

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…

Uploaded with ImageShack.us What should I do with the back wall??? Do I remove the Grey stuff or soundproof under it? What products are indeal for this? I am going to be installing a single 10" sub in this truck Uploaded with ImageShack.us

i decided to try some spray on deadener as opposed to stick on, i gutted/cleaned my truck before application and applied multiple layers. i found sprayed in a 1/16 inch coat with about 40% overlap a single spray has no effect, two layers is enough to stop reverberation of a smaller 5X15" panel when you tap it with your knuckle and 3+ layers is needed for larger 2X5' areas. however the peel and stick products (dynamat and mesamat in this case) not only stop the reverberation but audible lower the resonance of the panel they are applied to while the spray on does not do this, or at least not to a noticeable level. i applied 6 coats of spray on for large areas with seemingl…

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!
