OrionStang Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Got a few extra sheets here. Would a couple attached to the inside of a large MDF panel, say 42x29, help any? Just a waste of time?

Bigsix Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I dunno man.. I think it wouldnt be helpful... I could be wrong but my logic makes me think it'd hurt or just be a waste, probably someplace you'd be better putting it..

OrionStang Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Well a single sheet in the center of a metal panel changes things, thats where I got the idea. Just boring, rainy day thinking I guess. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig28 Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) You could always test it out and if it hurts your score just take it out. I've heard some people have gotten gains from deadener on the inside some haven't. It would all depend on how you do it I guess...

You never know how strong you are until you cold-cock a woman in the head and break that bitches jaw. Next time she tries to punch you in the stomach, whip your wiener out and chase her around.

Bigsix Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I feel you man.. Rainy here too.. and cold as a muh fugger too. You were talking about putting it on the inside of one of the walls of a box correct? putting it on the inside would be not good I would think.. dont you want hard smooth surfaces inside an enclosure.. If you meant in another way.. my bad Quote 1999 Lincoln Town Car-(build underway) - (2) SA15s, 4th order, DAT 2500.1, O2 mids n highs, 250a alt, HC 2400, Big 3.... 1994 Pontiac T/A for speeding tickets.- - Currently on jack stands, wanting to be a real race car "Your local forecast, all the ladies in the metro area should expect to see 8 inches tonight" - The Todd Decaf, on 01 November 2011 - 02:38 PM, said: i provide the ammo for destruction, the trigger finger is connected to the volume knob tho URBAN GORILLA AUDIO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 i gust wonder it it might absorb sound waves i wouldn't think so. deadener reduces panel flexing/vibration. i think foam would absorb the sound waves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullz Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Won't help anything, works best on metal where it is thinner and panels resonate more. Poly/dacron batting does more to change how an enclosure will sound than deadener will.

Second Skin Rep Jon Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I've tested many products on MDF to see if it helps... it doesn't. Attached is a vibration analysis of a piece of 1/2" thick MDF. The BLUE is the untreated wood. Overlaid in RED is the same piece of wood, but treated with 50% coverage with a CLD. As you can see, there isn't a whole lot of a difference between the two. What is strange is that which the CLD installed all it did was offset WHEN the vibration reached it's peak, not how much it reduced it by. So the amount the CLD reduced the vibrations/resonance by is so minor it would be nearly impossible to tell with the human ear. With that said, I honestly wouldn't bother applying any vibration damper inside an enclosure. Quote Have a question about Second Skin? E-Mail me!
