    I have an amp mounted in a way to where it is 100% in direct sunlight and there literally is no other place i can mount the amp due to space issues. It is about 2" away from the hatchback glass. The back hatch is layered in a sheet of tint and then another layer of blue tint for a graphical image then a clear coat sheet is layed over that. Is it ok, practical, doable, only way u may know of to take a sheet of heatwave or the Pro and stick it onto the tint to prevent the amp from getting excessively hot? I turned the car on today and the amp was in protect. I check everything, voltage is at 13.3v, impedance is right where it is suppose to be but i noticed the amp was in pr…

    well i gots an 03 jetta which is already fairly quiet (ive heard much worse) but im curious of the power of dampener. i plan on ordering about 80 sq ft and starting with the trunk and working my way forward. My goal is mostly to keep the sound in and maybe take out a few small rattles in the process. My question is if ordering the overkill where do i put it in the trunk and how much should i order? i noticed the placement behind the door speakers and on the inner wall of the door. do you think overkill over more layers of dampener is the way to go to up the sound quality inside or should i put more money into more dampener?.... so whats ur advice? thanks in advanc…

    I have to say it works very well. At the moment I am no where near done with my sound deadening, but the serious improvement on road noise entering the cabin from the rear of the car, is very nice for the long highway commute. So freaking easy to install, cut to size, spray adhesive from Second Skin on surface and on the Overkill, lay into place, hold for a few seconds, and done. Cannot wait to do the doors with this too. If I have enough I will do the firewall and floor. Install pictures will come later when I am done.

  7. So, i've been sound deadening for weeks... honestly. The weather changes everyday. Well anyways, i'm pretty close to being done with my Scion tC. For kicks, i show people just how much this stuff works. I have been applying 3 layers of Damplifier everywhere. When i applied it to the walls in the back seat area, i would go outside of the car and bang on the car, super stiff! No resonation or hollow sounds at all! I am now working on the rear hatch walls. I had got done doing the driver's side and banged on it from the outside and stiff as can be. I just got done with the passenger side wall today and when i went outside to bang on it... it sounds like i havent even put an…

    Approx how much does one go through on an SUV? SPL application, I'm looking at 2 layers of Damplifier on the floor and Pro over that, and 2 layers of Pro under the headliner and in the doors. Figured I'd need about 140-160sq ft ... I'll be buying 20-30ft extra - got some other cars to do, but also the speaker tweaker kits for all my doors (RE XXX's ...) and Overkill on top of the doors. Or is that too much deadener? ... I'll be pushing mid-150db's and 7-10kw ... I'm a broke college student, doing this and running my 3/0 and RCA's at once so I want to make sure I don't have to tear this apart again!!! Oh the car is a Trailblazer, approx same size as a Burban

    Hey guys, I just finished putting my new system into my 94' Eagle Talon and noticed that I can here alot of highway noise which of course interferes with the music. I was wondering which areas of the car I should dampen to see the biggest difference and how much to use.

    well I talked my wife into letting me order some deadener so I went with SSA I am not real excited about installing it so I will make my son do most of it after I rip everything out and redo the system. I am excited to listen to the difference in sound though. I even went as far as putting new good year wrangler silent armor tires on too just to get it quit on the highway. Ant is awesome to deal with so far as well. Thats all I have for now. Z

    I am going to be deadening my whole truck and SS keeps comming up as a quality brand. I was wondering how much you think I might need to do the entire vehicle. I'm really hoping to reduce road and wind noise and also stop as much vibration as possible for when I get around to installing some decent audio in there. LMK what you think would be the right amount and any tips you might have to maximize efficiency of deadening in such a big vehicle.

    I'm an audiophile, I also happen to compete in SPL as well. So over the next few months I will be posting some before and after video's and pictures of Second Skin in some of my different builds. I had some laying around from last year and I just re-did my front speakers in my winter beater so I tossed ~12 sq feet on each door today as well as installing a pair of Hertz deici co-axials. A night and day difference from where I was at. As soon as I find my camera I will post some pics, plus it's night time now.

    hey guys to make this simple i will just use the 80 sq ft amount even though i will need tons more..so here it is..would you rather do 80sq ft of the d-PRO for $289.87 OR 160sq ft of the d-regular for $374.40 being that the PRO is thicker and theroically need less layers then the regular..which would you rather choose? also this amount would all get used in 1 area the roof..so dont base your opinions on picking the regular because you will have some left over for other areas because it all will get used on the roof

    Thinking of starting a long process of putting a system in my 07' Altima. I was wondering how much deadener would I need to put one layer in the cabin of the car (floor board, 4 doors and trunk)? Gonna start puttting away some money for this before I even begin putting speakers and such. Thanks!!!

    so i just did the Damplifier Pro on the rear doors. i also used the ensolite foam. WOW what a difference. i used two layers of Raamat on the front doors and all i can say is that there is no comparison. Raamat may be a better deal, but as far as i am concerned i wasted the money spent on Raamat.... cuz now i am going to go back and redo the doors with the Damplifier Pro. DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME!!

    Well, I picked up some deadener from Ant at SecondSkin last weekend so it was time to start the install. I'm doing the floor first since the front doors and trunk are already done. I may pull off the eDead already on those areas because it's been basically a huge nightmare. This is also a good opportunity to clean my interior since the carpet is definitely showing its 12 year age. 80 sq feet of Damplifier, 15 sq feet of Damplifier Pro, 2 rolls of Rattlepad, a quart of Spectrum, and a Speaker Tweaker kit What I started with and yes, my steering wheel has been cleaned since then Just the carpet left Cleaned up with Simple Green and ready for the deadener ze garage …
