I come on this site because I want honest information about all things car audio. I am NOT interested in manufacturers pimping their wares, making outrageous claims, and saying anything just to sell more products. I'm sure the owners of BOSS audio tell their customers that their amps CAN do 5000 watts. Thank you M5, no thank you Second Skin.

Is that an attempt to miss lead people to buy things they don't need? Gaslight others much?

I would hate to see you trip over a dollar to pick up a dime. Or in this case trip over several thousand dollars (and several days of labor) to get a couple hundred dollars worth of benefit. I have done things at both extremes of spectum, and was happy with the end result both ways. How, you may ask. Because I knew exactly what I was after, and took my time making a game plan. I knew what "satisfied" looked like before I started. I didn't just throw everything including the kitchen sink at it hoping end result would make me happy. My advice would be focus on where the annoying sounds are coming from, and see if you can minimize them. If it is an interior panel, place your finger on it. Does this sound stop or get quieter? If you feel like the noise is coming from the fire wall, place a heavy blanket in the floorboard. Does the sound get quieter? If you feel like the noise is coming through the doors, put some cushions against them. Etc. Wash, rinse, repeat. Start with the most annoying noise and work from there. If you are due for new tires, now would be a great time to check which ones have the lowest noise rating. Short of very cheaply made cars, I have found most only need treatment in a few places. Anymore I just plan on doing a full treatment on the doors as the mid basses are in there, and quite a bit of road noise can seep its way in there also. After that I place pieces of foam behind any plastic panels that are vibrating. (what your finger is mimicking, when you're pressing on them, only from the backside) If the minimum you listen to your stereo at is 75-80 dB, and the road noise is 70dbs....your golden! If it helps you sleep at night to go to the extreme, by all means go that route.

You pretty much just answered your own question. The smaller one will be closer to the .4 drop and the bigger one closer to the .7. If that don't bother you, there is no other reason not to get the bigger guy.

I have treated a whole floor with dampener and luxury liner pro. Reinstalling the seats was about the hardest thing, but was not impossible. At worst you will have to shave away the foam right at the seat mounts. Are you attempting to stop road noise, engine noise, or panel vibration? I have a hard time believing that car has much road noise or panel resonation, but would believe the engine noise. I could be wrong, but that is subjective opinion. As there will always be noisier and quieter cars. Please tell me you're not falling for some marketing pitch like "as quiet as a coffin". Because that is not possible, but lowering particular audible sounds is. So if you really want everybody's help I would suggest narrowing in on the what particular noises you are attempting to lower!

"You aren't a model??? Unbelievable!?!?!?! You should be, want to take some headshots now?" #jedimindtricks

It is. The amps are done, and they are on the way now. We will announce when they arrive.

Also sir, if it is so useless you may want to talk to the forum owners you admin for and tell them they shouldn't sell the product on the website any more SSA Spectrum Listing

Thank you M5 for keeping the thread alive sir, your involvement in this convo sparked an SSA forum member to take notice and call us for a huge order today. And what do you know, he ordered 10 gallons of Spectrum.......... So thank you for the exposure on this forum (which is usually dead as far as sound deadening goes). 10 gallons of Spectrum, 10 sheets of Luxury Liner Pro, and 4 sheets of Mega Zorbe #SecondSkinForTheWin #SpectrumLiquidSoundDeadening #17YearsOfSatisfiedCustomers Customer Ryan H.
