Megalomaniac

I think you have been sniffin too much asphalt Dynacrack, lulz.

Age means absolutely nothing man. You are living in the past, you grew up using asphalt based CLD, that needed to be used full coverage(when I mean full coverage I mean per panel). The new butyl based CLD mat work much better with less coverage compared to the old asphalt based products. This in turn saves the consumer money, saves time, and saves waste, which is what everyone wants, including you(I hope)! This is why Second Skin started producing SPL Tiles because the consumer has been well informed now, aside from the SDS politics.

In reality I am not a total noob, you are completely immature for even saying or thinking that, especially threatening me with a banning(that will not change facts). You are a victim of the 100% coverage marketing bs. I cant believe you deleted that post. It was informative, and nothing was false about it. Ant, himself has said that 100% coverage is unnecessary on his forum(diyma). I have not discredited SS at all, I even made sure of that, Ant's products are great(I myself have his products in my car). Your large ego has also increased your arrogance into not wanting to learn from anyone else, even if they may be younger. The whole point of my post was to help people save money as well as time(which may as well be the same thing). Be grown up about it my man, threats are unnecessary. If you think my logic is flawed explain why, dont just tell me it works. For anyone else, if you are an SPL competitor, the CLD mat may bring your SPL numbers down. The CLD mat converts vibration into heat. (p.s. I didnt see what Bang wrote, so I cant comment on that, and he is not my friend)

Not as much as you would like. When using the MLV full coverage is necessary as much as possible, otherwise all the noise will come from where it is not covered. But you can strategically place it if you have to, Probably over the wheel-wells would be the best place to start, then the floors, and if you got more the firewall on the inside of the cabin. Yea you wont have to remove the console, that console acts as a barrier on its own. You seriously need to reconsider that remark earlier about saying "yes" to Ben_G's question about laying the whole floor with CLD. You are confusing reinforcing structurally with dampening(noise control); I dont think you understand fully how sound dampening works, Even Second Skin Rep will tell you that its a waste of good product as well as waste of money. In every car/truck the floor is not completely flat there are a lot of curves, the curves are the strongest points. You will only need the mat in the completely flat spots are where the panel has enough surface panel to resonate audibly. The roof might require more coverage since its a bigger panel, but the rule of thumb is about 25-30% coverage of the whole panel will need treatment with a CLD mat.

The Luxury Liner has been reviewed by many, and has proven to be promising! The only downside with the luxury liner is the decoupler foam(the ensolite material) is attached to the Vinyl, this makes it quite difficult to lay down in tight spots where you need more flexibility. If you already have the ensolite to spare then you can buy just the Vinyl barrier from another company, such as FoamFactory or SDS; You'll save money that way, The LL is the way to go for an all in one solution. The Vinyl is heavy, its about 1lb per sq foot. So if you are worried about weight then sorry you cannot have this level of noise control without it.

The MLV (Luxury Liner by SS) is much more suited for tackling road noise than laying the CLD on the floor. A barrier(the MLV), works more effectively at reducing road noise due to the barrier being able to filter high frequencies more efficiently compared the CLD or just foam. If you get a chance add the Luxury Liner(or the pro) if you can. The closed cell foam is to decouple the barrier since you cant possibly have a real "air gap" in a vehicle. But make sure you use the foil tape on the edges, the sound will leak out if you dont! Which makes all the work you did less than optimal. Before you know it the vehicle will be even more quiet, and you feel like youre riding in a Maybach. But I agree the best thing you did was invest in good tires, most annoying road noise comes from shitty tires(such as the BFGood KDW2's) ! In summary for everyone else, use the right tool for the job, laying a bunch of CLD helps for structural borne noise, even then results come with diminishing returns, more is not better! Dont waste time by laying full coverage of CLD on the floor to stop all vibration, that's not what its meant for, its just to stop the panel from making noise.

The box in your avatar looks ugly as sin. Finish your own box first before making other people boxes in exchange for money.

What kind of amp is it?

Glad you liked it! New pods are in the process. The door buzzing doesnt bother me that bad. Not sure if I can even fix it. Its not the door itself buzzing its when the door is closed and rubbing against the dash. btw what did you think of the pods of the previous tweeters, look pretty oem?

Tickets to listen to my car cost $20 ; j/k it doesnt sound that good at all. But all are welcome to take a listen this friday. pm if you want to meet up in the frisco area.Here is a link to my build in case you missed it. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=37744 btw the tweeters you see at the beginning of that thread are going back in tomorrow, the TBI Sounds. Im not happy with the Tangbands that I have currently, there is another thread showing the build log of my pillars: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...c=50643&hl=

My new tweeters come in tomorrow

I am in Frisco every day from 8am to 10am on mwf, and from 10am-2pm on t/th at Collin College off wade. Where do you work? If you are serious about a demo let me know, but keep in mind its not an spl car its more of an sq, not sure if you like those.

Thanks man, I am glad you liked my car. For sure, you got my number so let me know.

That shop is right down the road from where you will be staying, its further west off 360 and Matlock, on the south west side across the street from Frys. Not my favorite shop at all, just know where it is.

A kid in a Programming 101 class accidentally blurts the word "Fuck" out loud. The instructor made him stay after class and told him to write "I will not cuss in programming 101 class" 100 times on the board. The instructor leaves the room briefly, then comes back and sees this on the board, with the student gone: for (int x =0; x<100; x++) cout<<"I will not cuss in programming 101 class"<<endl; I Lol'd when I read that.
