msmith Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I'm going to going to be deadening my truck and I've seen a lot of people on here use audio technix, so i researched them out and i was wondering, is there a noticeable difference in the 60 mils to the 80 mils deadening ability? Thanks a lot for your input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Second Skin Rep Jon Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 During my own testing/measuring, since both products come in rolls and the butyl is extremely "gummy" and soft, the 60 and 80 mil products were inconstantly thick due to them getting rolled up. I was getting measurements anywhere from as low as upper 30s to low 70s for each product. IF and I mean IF I was forced to pick one, I'd save my money and just get the 60 mil version. But I would HIGHLY suggest and recommend looking elsewhere. There are a ton of high quality, well priced products out there that are not "rolled". Have a question about Second Skin? E-Mail me!

mlstrass Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Gee imagine the SS rep telling you to buy something else, wonder what product that would be. AT stuff works great, several guys on my team have used it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirill007 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Gee imagine the SS rep telling you to buy something else, wonder what product that would be. AT stuff works great, several guys on my team have used it... are you serious? He has never recommended solely second skin, i can't even remember him recommending SS. There are a lot of better alternatives out there, audiotechnix is inferior to quiete a few products, SS not included. SDS is great sounddeadening, just like Second skin, even stinger has better deadening. Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for.

Lbox88 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 ^What Kirill007 said, John is an awesome guy and I've seen him push other quality deadener just as hard as his own just so that someone doesn't get burned on shoddy materials.

Second Skin Rep Jon Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Gee imagine the SS rep telling you to buy something else, wonder what product that would be. AT stuff works great, several guys on my team have used it... Did I say Second Skin? No. I said look elsewhere because the quality of this product is not up to my personal or our company standards and I would NOT recommend it. Heck there isn't a single product that comes on a roll that I would recommend and for various reasons. I am glad several guys on your team have used it and they are happy with the product... however I would like to ask what other brands or products have they used in the past? Typically the answer is Peel & Seal, FatMat, or no previous product. If you want a list of products that I have tested/installed/used and would recommend, it's actually a short list. - SDS Tiles - Stinger RoadKill Expert - Dynamat (the industry standard is still a good product) - HushMat Ultra (a bit on the thin side, great for lightweight applications) - DEI BoomMat And of course our line of products... Again, msmith I would suggest shopping around and comparing for yourself and even contact several of the companies to gain some insight into their products. And thank you guys for seeing my unbiasedness, I try to be as transparent as possible. Have a question about Second Skin? E-Mail me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
