    -Product review-

    I recieved a box of Alpha Damp and I am more than impressed with this stuff. This is single handedly the thickest dampner I've had my hands on, and in no way is that a bad thing. I initially thought it would be tougher to cut and apply because of its thickness but as soon as I cut my first piece i realized it would not be an issue. Tin snips cut through this stuff like a hot knife in butter, but yet the foil is very rigid. It molds with the use of a roller just as easily as other types of deadner I have tried.

    Deadner I have personally tried: Audio Technix, Fat Mat, RAAMat, DynaMat, Second Skin and a few others that are slipping my mind at the moment.

    -Company Review-

    I'd also like to mention that the Second Skin company as a whole is one of the most pleasureable companies I have delt with. Every single representative/employee I have talked to are absolutely great with customers and extremely knowledgable, and even that is an understatement. If you have a question I wouldn't hesitate to ask these guys, they will get back to you with the information you need and much more and all with a professional approach in a very timely maner.

    Door installation:

    I started off by removing the plastic covering on my door and wiping everything down.

    I then began cutting and placing the pieces over the holes the plastic used to "seal". Some people put the plastic back on but I really see no point now that the door is now actually sealed.

    I still need to work out some sort of way to seal up the part where my super tweeter extends back into the door. Since there were so many small holes in my door i cut small squares just to seal them up. Disregard the outter holes that arent covered because the plastic clips on the door seal those up. I am very impressed with how this stuff sticks along with how rigid it is, on the big hole on the left theres only about an inch of dampner stuck to the door and yet it is not going to come off without a fight. With how thick the aluminum layer is its literally like adding a second skin of sheet metal in the door, no pun intended.

    Not pictured is where I put some on the outer skin of the door as well, forgot to take a pic and its all sealed up now.

    Thoughts:

    Initial thoughts with just one door done so far. Awesome! My midbass so much better after deadening the doors. I cannot wait to get the other door done! I'm also going to try to punch a hole in a triangle to go around my mirror adjustment, as well as figure out something for the hole where my tweeter goes.

    Upcoming Installations:

    I plan to place more on my roof in front of my wall and then I want to give a good covering of the floor to help eliminate road noise. I also am going to place a small strip in my moms passenger door since it sounds hollow when it closes, I'll be making a video of that when I do it since I have high hopes of there being a drastic change that should be able to be noticeable on video.

    Would like to apologize for this review taking so long, school and life have really gotten in the way. This review is still coming along, my car is currently on jack stands so getting my car back on the road is really top priority at the moment, but that doesn't mean I can't slap a few pieces of deadener on while im waiting on parts. :)

    Keep checking back for updates!

  2. Sometimes I hate PM's on this site. I was wondering why I was being ignored when I had cash in hand. Still do if the deal falls through I guess.

    Sorry about that man, I definitely wouldn't ignore ya. I'm very surprised I didn't get it, I haven't had an issue with it yet. In the future if you need to get ahold of me just use the email button in my account it goes straight to my phone.
