tonedeaf Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 100% coverage to alot of professionals is a waste. You only need iirc like 30% panel coverage to deaden. Anything more is unnecessary. So in this way, one pack could probably deaden a hole car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Second Skin Rep Jon Posted July 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 (edited) slowly building frankenstein lol quick math, interior space in feet is something close to 16x6x7 I think floor to ceiling is more around 5'4" instaed of 6' so round down a bit each wall 96sq ceiling/floor 112sq backdoors 36-42sq front doors 18sq? , metal bracing around the dash/windshield couple more sq sliding door taken into account as part of the passanger wall. total near 420-450 all metal, vibrates horribly take off about 30-40 sq for windows unless my math is COMPLETELY broke from being tired i could be off by 50-100 or something, but its a fullsize van, extended on the back couple feet. Sweet Jebus! Yeah you're math is correct from my standpoint. And I always have to reiterate that 100% coverage is not necessary for most vehicles and builds. Assumably you are going for a competition build. I don't need people reading this and want to do their entire car head to toe and waste product. How long is the pre order going to be offered? Im going to need 2 of those packs to do the new minitruck. 20 sq will just barely do the floor and im hoping a second box will do the roof, doors and back wall. Any chance of getting a 2 for one deal? I'm not entirely sure how long it's good for since we're just now getting close to the launch/shipping date. [quote name= Gem132' timestamp='1312114443' post='1630333] Looks real good, got a question though, how does one pack of this do a whole car ? Like Emp said, depends on your definition of an entire car. The idea behind this product is that you will be able to do an entire vehicle with one pack. Some of course would require more since there are some huge ass cars and SUVs out there. So for instance say you measure your car and you come up with 80sq. ft. of surface (this is just to make the math easier for me lol). Following the 25% coverage rule (since 50% coverage typically only results in a 2-3 dB noise loss over 25% coverage), only 20 sq. ft. of material would be needed. Make sense?

Grelko Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 That wouldn't be too bad, if i just did 25-30% of the van, say the ceiling and back doors, then that would cut it down to around 120-150sq, but I'll check what vibrates the worst in the van since it echos in there first because, it might just be a certain part of the ceiling making it sound like everything else is. I could always just start with a couple small pieces here and there and check the difference as i put it in.

emperorjj1 Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 check and apply is really the best method. BUT if you will be going crazy with the system later on that will change things. so keep that in mind Quote J.

Airborne Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 I don't need too many reviews, gonna use this on my 51 Fleetline two door Deluxe. I am working on the hydraulics right now (olds school) and am going to do the floor pans soon (Fred Flintstone right now) and am going to cover them with Alpha Damp, well deaden, not walling it,lol so I will go with the recommendation of 25-30% coverage.

emperorjj1 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 if your having rust issues you may also want to pick up a gall of spectrum and spay the underside. just a gal probably wont make a big spl difference as compared to the alpha damp but it should help keep any rust from coming back Quote J.
