Chrysler200s Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 just for comparison..I have a 2011 Chrysler 200 S..its a midsize sedan and I just bought an 80sq ft. pack of damp pro. I havent installed the damp pro but let me tell you 80 sq ft is WAY MORE than what I was expecting. If you plan on using the alpha damp, you only have to have about 25% coverage on a panel!! A small amount goes very far with this stuff. I only used to use dynamat as well, but I wont after using SS..Second Skin is awesome!

Second Skin Rep Jon Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I would use a combination of Alpha Damp and Damp Pro in your G6. Alpha - For the really flat areas like the roof and the outer door skin. Damp or Damp Pro - For the other areas, such as the inner door skins, quarter panels, etc. And as pointed out by our loyal customer above (thanks! ), I wouldn't hit every square inch with product. All totaled up I'd say no more than 80sq. ft. of Alpha and Damp/Damp Pro. Quote Have a question about Second Skin? E-Mail me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The luxury liner is to stop ambient noise..road, engine You also might want to pick up some Overkill foam to stop your panels and trim from rattling..

Second Skin Rep Jon Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Yeah go with the Luxury Liner Pro too, this will help you achieve the best SQ possible by lowering the overall noise level inside the vehicle. The more you are able to isolate the interior from outside noise sources, the better the SQ. And measure the doors and other areas that you will be tackling with the Luxury Liner Pro carefully to make sure you get enough to create the best seamless barrier possible. Some OverKill or OverKill Pro for trim rattles and squeaks never hurts. anytime I can help Jon I have 36sq ft. of the luxury liner as well..I will be posting pictures and probably a video of the install and my build..as soon as it warms a little It's always appreciated to have helpful customers like yourself. And I'll definitely be waiting for the pics. This cold weather is just driving me nuts! lol Quote Have a question about Second Skin? E-Mail me!

emperorjj1 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 lux liner pro ftw. ya if your working on a sq build its really a must. Quote J. JMy CardomainFINISHED COBALT SS/SC DUAL ALTERNATOR PICS theres no such thing as too expensive when it comes to upgrades like that, because imo if you are gonna spend to upgrade then do it correctly rather then be a cheap ass ricer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sik99ranger Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Ok here's one for ya if I use the liner will I drop spl? Since it absorbes acoustic noise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
