Another chapter in The Owner's Manual: Sound Deadening Car Doors
Whether you’ve got a fully upgraded car audio system that you turn up to 11, or you enjoy playing some smooth jams to relax and de-stress. For a lot of us, our car is our mobile concert hall. But it can be tough to get into the rhythm when unwanted noise is infiltrating your sanctuary from all angles. From wind noise, to road noise, to rattling sheet metal - most of us wish our car ride was a little quieter.

This week we bring a new article to The Owner's Manual brought to you by Second Skin Insulation.
Quiet Exhaust and Engine Noise
Upgrade your exhaust and realize you can't talk on your cell phone anymore? Swapped out the engine to a big diesel upgrade and now you need to tame down that airborne noise? Second Skin has you covered, with the best ways to block out those stubborn drones and irritating airborne noise. Check out our newest article in the Owner's Manual.

Welcome back to another page in the Second Skin Owner's Manual
How To Reduce Road Noise in Your Car
If you want to reduce the road noise in your car, you’re not alone. Most drivers experience road noise of some kind, whether it be in an old hot rod or brand new compact car. Since no two cars are constructed or driven the same way, no solution is perfect for every road noise problem. Annoying exhaust drone, diesel engine noise, turbo noise, tire noise, and outside noise can all be a killer on long trips but it does not have to be!!!

I've read a bunch of your guys stuff but I'm still a little unclear on something. I'm pretty new to learning how sound waves work and all so please forgive my ignorance.
My impression is that to get the loudest cleanest sound from out trunk to our drivers seat is to have a sound waves thy are not bouncing off each other and taking things out of phase. Additionally, we would want to deaden and even block as much sound waves as possible from escaping the trunk area so all of it is going straight forward into the cabin.
My main question is about the blocking of sound in the trunk. If your going for the ultimate setup, is there benefit in stacking multiple layers of cld tiles on top of each other? What about a layer of cld, then a layer of CCF and then cld and then CCF? What about cld and then painting a thick layer of sludge on top of that? Or is simply doing cld, CCF, then MLV the best results you can get?
I have the impression that spl in cabin will increase as trunk is sealed better.
Am I on the right track here or am I totally missing something?
Yes you are on the right track about sealing that trunk tight to force the waves forward and also not wanting back waves to cancel out the front waves. Multiple layers of a good butyl deadener are rarely needed unless you are pushing major dB like 150+ To completely seal the trunk and block out all outside interference noise, you will need to apply Damplifier/Damplifier Pro on the metal everywhere (normal cars can get away with 40-60% coverage but large SPL builds should use Damplifier Pro in 100% coverage throughout the trunk). That will make the metal more solid. Then add Luxury Liner Pro (CCF+MLV) with the foam side attached to the Damplifier Pro the Mass Loaded Vinyl is what will block out the outside noise and also give your trunk a clean and even surface to reflect waves off of. With Damplifier Pro and Luxury Liner Pro completely covering the trunk area your sound pressure will not escape out of the trunk and will move forward into the cabin. If you treat the back seat wall you will be blocking sound waves from getting in the cabin so don't use MLV on the back seat. We can be reached at 1-800-679-8511 9 am to 4 pm Mon-Fri for any further questions. #SMDFTW #TeamSecondSkin @Joshdashef thanks for tagging us, it really helps us find the threads.

This time on the Owner's Manual, we dive into the decisions of sound deadening mat vs liquid sound deadening spray, Sound Deadening Mat or Spray: Which Is For Me?
Driving is as much an experience as it is a necessity. You should enjoy how your ride feels, how it looks, and even how it sounds. That last piece can be a challenge, because cars come with a fair share of noise, from structural hums, rattles and squeaks to airborne sounds like wind, road noise and horn honking.
Fortunately there are some great products to improve your driving experience (and they don’t involve earplugs). They’re called vibration dampers and a question we get all the time is, do you go with the mats or with a sound deadening spray?

So what do you use to clean the metal surface on the doors prior to applying second skin? I was thinking of denatured alcohol or 91% rubbing alcohol but I could be wrong what is the correct way to prep the metal surface?
We recommend denatured alcohol as some degreasers leave a film behind. If you do use something else first, just wipe it down with denatured alcohol before using.

He has videos with his doors side by side with other RZR's with other brands of deadeners. I believe the guy ended up ripping his old stuff off and ordering Second Skin for his doors. I think he also did a full install video of this build before and after 5 years ago...check it out
