Posted May 5, 200817 yr Does anyone know the STC numbers for the Luxury Liner and Pro? I would like to compare this with other products. Thanks
May 7, 200817 yr Author Here are the numbers. From my research of similar products. This is a great STC average for the price, weight, and heat and overall effectiveness.100: 14125: 16160: 13200: 16250: 18315: 19400: 19500: 21630: 23800: 261K: 281.25k: 291.6k: 312K: 332.5k: 353.15k: 374K: 405k: 42 Edited May 7, 200817 yr by JazzScreamer
May 7, 200817 yr Author These were send to me per request from SSAudio. These are important numbers to consider for your sound dampening needs. I'm surprised that the website did not publish these. Very comparable with Noisedead.com's Vertex Barrier. Edited May 7, 200817 yr by JazzScreamer
May 7, 200817 yr Author I must add to this post that the STC value of LLP is one of the best values on the market for this level of dampening. Not only that but, the materials used are great. I look forward to using it in the future. If you look at similar products that have the same qualities, they are much thicker and are not very car friendly.

Also, STC and STL are not exactly the same thing. JohnVertex Mobile Sound Products
May 22, 200817 yr Admin Dr Durden, are you associated with Vertex for commercial construction at all? My company has a small division that deals with Vertex for floor impact absorption for mulit-rise buildings.There has been good coverage of sound deadening for automotive, but not so much sound absorption materials like Overkill, Ensolite, or Vertex.

It looks to me like if he got them from SS that Ant copied it from you.

It is what I will be using on my next car...and first hand should see Dr. D's before then.
May 22, 200817 yr Do you have any samples SSA members could try out? Of Vertex Barrier Pad?? I'm sold out and don't intend on offering it any longer.It's cool dudes, Ant and I sell the same product. He sells it by 2' sheets (24" x 54" = 9sqft) and I sell it by 5' sheets (60" x 54" = 22.5 sqft).Therefore, the specs are the same. It's a quality product and you'll get great results.
May 22, 200817 yr And word to the wise, products like OverKill and Ensolite are not even close to being in the same level as LLP or VBP. 1/8" closed cell foam probably has an overall STC of about 3~5.

Do you plan to offer another product in the future?
May 22, 200817 yr Do you plan to offer another product in the future?If I do, it will be the same 3 I've always offered and more. I'll re-evaluate after the summer, but for now my stock is sold out.Sorry to dump on this tread. I saw my work being referenced and had to say something.
May 23, 200817 yr What site is this?www.noisedead.com/vbpThanks. I give you credit for full disclosure. Why this type of stuff isn't first and foremost for companies like Anthony's is beyond me.Actually, I know why they do it....I just can't stand it.
May 23, 200817 yr What site is this?www.noisedead.com/vbpActually, I know why they do it....I just can't stand it.Pisses me off as well.

May 26, 200817 yr Author How did I get these numbers? I simply e-mailed Second Skin and these were the numbers that were given to me. Yes, they are the exact same numbers as Vertex Barrier Pad. This was not a copy and paste job. That would not be cool. I was doing some research before I purchased anything and thought people should be informed. I didn't know that numbers like this could be a bit taboo.
May 29, 200817 yr Here are the numbers. From my research of similar products.That was my tip off, first of all. Second, it looks exactly like how I formated it on my website. Third, it's nowhere to be found on SS's website AFAIK.Listen, you got what you needed so it's cool. In reality, we're both just going off the testing done on the product and copying it anyway.

June 14, 200817 yr With all of the bad behavior that some sound deadener companies can legitimately be called out for, I think some of the anger being expressed here is a little misplaced. Where to use vibration damper and where to use a barrier is a critical question when planning a project, but the swing toward barriers being the one true way is just as silly as claims that vibration damper alone is the solution to your problem
