ok, figured out how to add the side blocks and a ton of features to the new software, you guys should really enjoy this place now. thanks for hanging out on our forum! we appreciate your support.

so my good buddy Carlos has been wanting to do something different for a while... hes been running a single Dc Audio Level 6 18 for a few months but it wasnt satisfying that itch, he told me he wanted to build a wall but wasnt sure what he wanted, other then the fact that he wanted it to stand out and be different.. haha, no problem.. how about we just build a sub thats never been built before and give it a gorgeous install to go with.. sounds like a plan... onto the pics shell underway, angles angles angles.............. haha, time consuming as a MF some 1/4 monster "L-Brackets, every piece of this shell is 1.5" thick, very strong... all holes filled roof in roof foamed up trimmed glassing the sides in

Welcome to the forum!!! Don't get discouraged by the time it takes to get there, it's definitely worth the wait! Take this time to work on getting everything else ready to go for it. I second Aaron's notion to start a build log for it!!

One is coming to me after product photos.

Send me one for testing and abuse. Aaron and I can make some videos and such.

Post up a build log if you want.

I also agree with Sean about the mobile experience. It's like the desktop experience optimality compressed for mobile.

PS, The dark forum skin looks much better.

this dudes work schedule is rediculous we barely ever get to work on it however it is just about done now finally.. ill let the pics do the talking front loading wall is all thats left, gonna have a 24x18 piece of plexi to show off the subs, 2 small ports right on the edges, should be beast. baffle roughed in. 4 3/4 all thread braces, triple baffle, beast mode. lil gloossaayy waiting for bondo to dry, lazy muhfugga TEST FIT will have more soon! thanks guys

Or I could drive an M5... Indescisions are endless.

i put wood on the glassed panels and body worked them in so that I could put some mirror on them to show off the ass of the sub considering there will be plexiglass on the baffle.. sprayed with texture first coat of white The sub, yes those are 4 gauge direct leads cause fuck ya :spiteful: my hands are not small by any means just an FYI.........

welcome... any prizes for most amount of second skin in a car?

the surface was clean i stripped the inside of my truck and took a hose and car wash to it lol i think my main problem was it was a 81 toyota which has very few trim panels or even floor carpet. and that caused alot of sun exposure. yes you may say will duh it is not designed for direct sun exposure. which is true but extreme and damplifier pro hold up beautifully in the sun.

i have used dynamat original, and extreme, and damplifier pro the damplifier pro is defiantly tops imo. i used extreme in my last vehicle because i got it for ultra cheap. i will never use original ever again even if it was free i would take it and resell it. it is much harder to mold than the others with out it ripping, and it only held up about a year and a half. it started to turn brown, and got hard, and the adhesive started letting go. i am not talking about just the edges i mean everywhere. i had areas the size of a sheet of paper pulling up and losing contact with the floor. in my defense it was my first install over ten years ago and i was just learning. lol

I have used every deadener mentioned so far ( some that haven't ) in the past 6 months. The pro used in Nicks truck was the thickest, and heaviest by size by far. It was easy to work with ( snagged a few little pieces for key areas in Dave's car). Sticks to freaking anything so be mindful of that. For the money, I would take the second skin. Be sure to clean the area well before application.

If you are going to compare similar products you should look at our entry level mat, Damplifier, not Damplifier Pro. Dynamat Extrme 1.67 mm thick .45 lbs psf 4 mil foil 300 degree heat rating Damplifier 1.25 mm thick .45 lbs psf 4 mil foil 500 degree heat rating. Damplifier is slighty thinner than Dynamat Extrme but weighs the same. This is becuase we introduce a defoaming agen in to the butyl while it is blending and re reduce the air content from the formla. Since there is less air bubbles in the adhesive it is very dense. If we wanted to, we could leave the machine on foa few hours longer, and not use the defoaming agent and we could easily turn a 100 gallon batch of butyl adhesive in to a 150 gallon batch. Then, we could apply that to the foil at a greater thickness and could make the claim that our product is the thickest around. Problem is, there would be no difference in weight. so even though a the product is thicker you don't get any better results since there is just as much material as the thinner batch. This is why we often encourage people to compare the weight of a product rather than the thickness. Obviously there is more to vibration damping than just weight, but the more it weighs per square foot, the more you get for your money. Look at Damplifier Pro. 1.75 mm thick but it weight .65 lbs per sq foot and has a 6 mil foil heat shield. Nothing in the industry comes close to those specs. ANT

I use Second Skin exclusively in my vehicle and I can say I am very happy with it.

Me 2.

Go with the Second Skin.

^^^ bingo

price as well.... Damplifier is less expensive (at least for us in hawaii)... Damplifier pro is more cost effective... It's almost 1-1/2 times thicker then dynamt extreme for slightly more...

I've never had the pleasure to use second skin but I've read great things. I used raamat on my truck this past week and it was real easy to use and worked really well. Stay away from dynamat, go with either second skin or raamat.

I used Damplifier Pro one of the best, better than Dynamat Xtreme IMO. Here's something that could give you some outlook on other products also... http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com/

Here is an excerpt from http://www.dynamat.com/technical_specs_dynamat_original.html DYNAMAT ORIGINAL Description: Dynamat Original is a styrene-butyadine-rubber- based, pressure-sensitive adhesive-backed, heat bondable vibrational damper. So is Dynamat wrong, or are you two wrong? Check this out http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com/products/ That guy has done tons of research and work on that article and I think he knows what he is talking about. Dynamat probably just words it to make it sound like its better then it is.
