DGold Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 (edited) Finally I am able to do my review on AlphaDamp from Second Skin. This is long overdue so I wont bullshit too much. Overall, I am impressed and I only applied one layer, the true test will be later today when I get to open up the subs and see how the roof flexes. I figured the roof would be the best place to see a good before and after. I did sound deaden a small patch of the floor and will be putting a little on the hatch. I only got 20 sq ft so the roof has the priority. Before pics, got a little out of hand with the Efoam but it was kind of fun. Will be adding more eventually. After Pics. First piece. Now the videos. Before. Before. AFTER Very pleased with the results thus far. More to come after I put a little on the back hatch. Visit www.alphadamp.com for more info.

chronic2001 Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Looks good.... I saw where the winner of a second skin contest gained 1 or 2 Dbs just from damplifier on his roof. I think it was in a Durango. Good job and enjoy.

DGold Posted October 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Thanks, I'm excited to see how much this impacts the back hatch of my Durango.

DGold Posted October 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 (edited) Here's an older video of my Durango before it was sound deadened. *Skip to around 30 seconds. In the after video you can see the flex is much less obnoxious. The panel seems to move as a whole and it much more quiet. Only one layer of AlphaDamp is on the roof panels.

Second Skin Rep Jon Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 That's definitely a noticeable difference. Have any plans for getting it metered? Quote Have a question about Second Skin? E-Mail me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGold Posted October 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 If all works out I will be adding another AQ3500 in the next coming months then going to a few shows next summer. Been wanting to get it metered for quite awhile. Sadly it never got metered before the deadener was applied. No shops around here have termlabs. We drove around everywhere we could within like an hours drive. No luck.
