Dimensions Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 I have recently bought a 2002 Honda Civic Coupe to travel in for work. There is so much road noise, I am pretty much yelling to carry on a conversation. I have been driving a 2008 BMW, and would love to get the Civic down to a reasonable noise level. Hopefully to a point where I am not yelling over the road noise while traveling. I live in an area that is pretty extreme, weather wise. Temps range from the 20's in the winter to 110+ in the summer. I want products that can handle these conditions, and second skin looks like an awesome product line that can deliver the goods. My main question is; is a budget of $200-$300 realistic for trying to accomplish my task? If so, which products would benefit me the most? If this is not a realistic budget for my goals, what is a rough dollar amount? I have been reading around for a few days, and the typical lay out seems to be CLD, then different types of additional barriers. Any help is appreciated, thanks. 1 Quote 2002 Honda Civic (Current) HU: JVC KD-X50BT (Replaced Pioneer 6800 that came with it) All stock w/ 3 working speakers. Ya!!!

Jmw703 Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 I don't really know how much coverage you would need so as for price I have no idea, looks too low though. But since you only want to be able to carry out a conversation I think you could do it. As for second skin, I recently deadened my trunk lid ,Trunk walls ,Trunk floor, and trunk ceiling with damplifier pro. Stuff is amazing. It killed most of the trunk rattle I previously had from my sub but I also noticed a significant decrease of road noise from the rear wheels. I have a Mazda 3 and mazdas have like no sound deadening anywhere so there should be a nice difference in your civic since its noisy as well. However, damp pro is mainly for rattles and not road noise although it did help, I have heard luxury liner is amazing for actually keeping road noise out. I also hope to use that product in the future as well as deadening my doors with more damp pro. Quote 2008 Mazda 3s sport HU: Kenwood DDX318 Mids and Highs: OEM, upgrading soon.

Second Skin Rep Jon Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 (edited) Clever way to tag me Mr. Dean... clever. To answer your questions Dimensions, yes you can achieve great results within that $200-$300 budget. Just keep in mind that the BMW was designed from the ground up to act and sound the way it is and your Civic... well wasn't... so it may require a bit more work. In terms of products and quantities, this is what I would suggest. • 20-40 sq. ft. of Damplifier OR Damplifier Pro • 4 sheets of Luxury Liner Pro • 1 can of SS Spray Adhesive All totaled up, on the low end you're looking at $275, $365 on the higher end. Apply the Damp/Damp Pro to the doors, floor, cargo area and rear quarter panels. Now please keep in mind while installing that only 25% of the panel needs to be treated with a CLD. For example most doors really only need 1.5 sq. ft. of material and that's it. Once all of the Damp/Damp Pro is installed, you get to lay the LLP down. Now unlike CLDs where you only need 25% coverage, with MLV (mass loaded vinyl) noise barriers you want to create as seamless as a barrier as possible. So measure and cut the LLP to fit as tight as possible. Duct or foil tape can be used on the seams, but isn't necessary. The 4 sheets of Luxury Liner Pro (total of 36 sq. ft.) should be enough to treat the cabin of your Civic as well as the trunk for the most part. As an optional step, you may want to add 2-4 sheets of OverKill CCF (closed cell foam) to install behind trim panels. This will isolate it from the sheet metal and further reduce the chance and even kill those really annoying rattles and squeaks. Hope that covers it and if you have any more questions or need me to elaborate further, just ask! Edited March 30, 2012 by Second Skin Rep Jon spelling.... 2 Quote Have a question about Second Skin?

Dimensions Posted March 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 Thank you so much for the input Jon. Definitely awesome customer service and knowledge. I am stoked to see what this stuff can do! Will the luxury liner pro also help to keep sound in the vehicle? I am planning on installing an amp and sub after all the sound dampening goes in.

Second Skin Rep Jon Posted March 30, 2012 Report Share Posted March 30, 2012 No problem, that's what I'm here for. And yes the Luxury Liner Pro will help keep the sound inside. It'll keep the road/tire/exhaust noise out, and the music in. Quote Have a question about Second Skin? E-Mail me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
