We stopped carrying and selling Alpha Damp several months back. Reason being, after further testing we found that Damplifier Pro performed on par with Alpha in most cases and installs. Combined with the fact that the Damplifier Pro is easier to install because of it's thinner constraint layer, the bossman (Ken) made the decision to stop carrying it. Simply put, it was redundant within our product line.

350z Deadener
Second Skin Rep Jon replied to load350z's topic in Second Skin Sound Deadening and Automotive Insulation!
I'm sure we'll have some deals coming up for the Holidays. As for the amount, it's on the high end. I'd expect you'll have some leftovers. Most people with 350/370s are concerned with weight so they shoot for a little bit less. I think the last 350Z owner I talked to went with a Bulk Pack of Damplifier Pro, four sheets of Luxury Liner, and 10 sheets of OverKill. -
If you want 100% coverage on all panels, you will need somewhere around 160+ sq. ft. of material. Personally I'm not a fan of 100% coverage unless you going for SPL and are using the product to form somewhat of a barrier. Simply put, you can achieve better results by using a combination of products and techniques vs. throwing gobs of sound deadener at it. Personally for SQ I would suggest going with a Shop Pack (with B-Stock that would be 90 sq. ft.) and use it strategically throughout the vehicle. You should be able to achieve 35% coverage, upwards of 50% coverage, per panel with that amount. And I would focus on making sure the doors and roof are treated closer to the 50% coverage. Once that is done, cover the floor 100% with Luxury Liner Pro. Based on previous installs and recommendations, 72 sq. ft. of Luxury Liner Pro should be about right. If you are worried that the thickness of Luxury Liner Pro may prevent you getting everything re-installed, you can use a combination of OverKill and Luxury Liner to create a thinner barrier. Install the OverKill on the floor first, then follow that up with the Luxury Liner. If you go this route, you would want 72 sq. ft. of both OverKill and Luxury Liner to get the floor treated. That combination of products will give you amazing results in both SQ and SPL. You can also take it one step further and install some Luxury Liner or Luxury Liner Pro on the doors as well... it can be difficult, but again the results are just plain amazing.

350z Deadener

Ah ok. With that said I would aim to achieve about 50% coverage with Damplifier or Damplifier Pro on all the panels. The only panel I would do 100% coverage one would probably be the roof to help create a barrier. Then go over the entire floor and trunk/cargo area with Luxury Liner Pro OR a combination of OverKill and regular Luxury Liner as that would be a little bit thinner than Luxury Liner Pro and would probably reduce the chances of anything not fitting right afterwards. That combination would provide the best of most worlds. -
350z Deadener

I know, shipping to Hawaii is never cheap. Each vehicle is different, but typically you can get Luxury Liner or Luxury Liner Pro installed (on top of the sound deadener) and still get the factory carpet back in. Personally I like to methodically approach each install, so installing more deadener is not always the best approach. What exactly is your goal? Less road, tire, and exhaust noise? Reduce flex? Improve SPL? Improve the overall SQ? -
350z Deadener
Second Skin Rep Jon replied to load350z's topic in Second Skin Sound Deadening and Automotive Insulation!
We had someone a while back (just Google SQBassHead Audio Build and you should find it) who did their 350z. He went with a Bulk Pack of Damplifier Pro and was able to get pretty much everything covered. Since you already have the doors done, you might be able to get away with a bit less, like a Trunk Pack (20 sq. ft.). Also if you're planning on ordering in the next few days, make sure to check out our Cyber Monday deal! -

Two bulk packs should get you pretty darn far. I'd say all four doors and floor (or roof) with no problem. Just depends on how heavy you go with it. 50% coverage is typically my personal maximum I put on really any panel, unless I'm trying to prevent flex, then 100% coverage is the way to go to create somewhat of a barrier (without looking at other means of stiffening the panel).
