trjohnst Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 I am in some need of gaining a few db's and think it is time for some sound deadener. What brand is the best for a budget and how much would I need for a trunk (Honda Accord)? I'm looking for something on ebay, so I don't know how many square feet I need to do just the top of my trunk and the bottom, under my carpet and box. I need to find something that is cheap but good in quality. I know ebay has some knock off brands, but I dont know what to get just for the top and bottom of trunk. How many square feet would I need and what else would I need to buy in order to install it (roller, extra glue, etc.)? Are there any pointers I need when installing it because this is the first time I have messed with the stuff. 1991 Accord Audioque HDC3 15" (Copper)<--Sub Audioque HDC3 15" (Copper)<--Backup Sub Crescendo BC2000D<--Amp Big 3 1/0 Knu<--Wiring Eonon 3.5" DVD<--Headunit Infinity Kappa Perfect<--Mids & Highs 2nd Stock 80Amp alt. 1991 Mustang 5.0 Too many mods (Sold) 1991 240sx SR20 Red Top Too many mods (Sold) 2004 GTO Just starting mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well my Honda Accord wont last long so I dont want to put a lot of money in sound deadener in the car because I can't take it out. The car has 235K miles and wont be lasting more than 2 years longer, so spending too much money is useless. I already have more money in my stereo than the cars price haha. 1991 Accord Audioque HDC3 15" (Copper)<--Sub Audioque HDC3 15" (Copper)<--Backup Sub Crescendo BC2000D<--Amp Big 3 1/0 Knu<--Wiring Eonon 3.5" DVD<--Headunit Infinity Kappa Perfect<--Mids & Highs 2nd Stock 80Amp alt. 1991 Mustang 5.0 Too many mods (Sold) 1991 240sx SR20 Red Top Too many mods (Sold) 2004 GTO Just starting mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a 2009 so I'm just pouring cash into it at the moment. Before Second Skin I was looking at Raamat BXT II. It's pretty cheap for a lot of sq ft. I've heard some good things about the product and company. http://www.raamaudio.com 2009 Honda Accord EX-L System in the works: Pioneer AVH-3200DVD (check) Hertz Mille MLK165 (check) SAX-125.2 (check) AA Havoc 12" Ported (check) SAZ-1500D (check) 1/0awg Knu Kolossus Flex (check) XS Power D3400 (check) Stock 120amp Alternator SS Damplifier Pro (check) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jreese92 Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 audiotechnix, about the cheapest quality sound deadener you can get. On the studies and tests showed that second skin and audiotechnix were only a hair off, and audiotechnix is crazy cheap. 25 sq feet should be fine Pioneer 6300ub Rockford Prime 6.5's Pioneer 6x9's Alpine MRP-M500 10" Alpine Type R 1.4 Cubic Foot Enclosure Tuned to 34 hz Stinger 4 Gauge Wires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Second Skin Rep Jon Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 I would stick with the quality CLD products that are out there and avoid FatMat. SDS, Second Skin, Audio Wrap, RAAMMat, and so on. Ones with quality products with a proven track record. You are always better off installing less of a high quality product then you are more of a low quality or even asphalt based product. CLD mats work differently then mass loaders, therefor less product is needed to achieve the same results. trjohnst, what exactly are you wanting to achieve with installing sound deadening? Just to improve your SPL numbers? Or are you looking for better sound quality? Have a question about Second Skin? E-Mail me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirill007 Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Al the sound deadeners mentioned are asphalt based, and the ones meantioned aren't decent.(except the ones second skin rep Jon mentioned.) I would look into second skin, it's quite cheap. You don't need to cover the whole trunk. And if you want to go cheap, don't do the bottom, the bottom is quite solid. You only have to cover 25-40% of the surface to get good deadening with a good deadener. With the ones meantioned before you need almost full coverage to have "decent" results. Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
