Big_A Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 I only have 20 sq feet of Damplifier Pro to put in a 01 Civic sedan. WIll this only be enough for the trunk? Should I try to do the 2 front doors in a single layer and use the rest on the trunk? What is the best way to use it in that car? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel989 Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) Apply 1-2 sq ft on each door roof and trunk Play some bass and stand outside apply were you here rattles the most, apply some then repeat again Edited August 9, 2012 by Noelito Quote Build Log - http://www.stevemead...-cruiser-el-pt/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riley Evan Houser Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Exactly. With SS you don't need full coverage, 20 sq ft will still kick ass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WastedTalent Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Good to know. I was gonna do the Trunk Pack as they call it and work on the rest of the car later. But as you've all said for his question, the Trunk Pack will obviously be enough for more than just that. Quote Sheena = pedobear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiofanaticz Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Exactly. With SS you don't need full coverage, 20 sq ft will still kick ass Technically with many quality 80mil deadeners you dont need full coverage. Second Skin Damp Pro, AudioTechnix, Dynamat Extreme, Stinger RoadKill, all these will be fine with partial coverage, however people like over kill, thats the name of this game we play called car audio. Why have 12inch subs when you can have 18inch subs? Overkill! LoL Typically alone sound deadener is not going to stop most rattles caused, If your very limited on deadener right now, such as 20sq feet. My goal would be using it in your front doors, doing the actual inside metal of your doors outer door skin, as well as the inner bracing that your door panel bolts onto. Especially if you have some kick ass door pods or some very nice components in the front door. Get full coverage on those 2 front doors, than you never have to pull panels again to do more later down the road. If you just have some stock speakers or coaxles, go for your trunk and use the deadener there, until you have more money to buy more and do your doors.

Big_A Posted August 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Yes I only have stock front speakers and will remove my rear speakers when I put in my 12. I dont know if Ill put a component system up front. Maybe later down the road but probab;ly not anytime soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you just have some stock speakers or coaxles, go for your trunk and use the deadener there, until you have more money to buy more and do your doors. Doors are definitely the first place you want to cover, they're a huge spot for interference(both from soundwaves from your speakers firing backwards into the door, and road noise). We usually recomend 50%-75% coverage on any pannel, particularly large metal ones, as these tend to be the points of diminishing return, at least for SQ builds. if you're going for SPL, then it's a good idea to think about 100% coverage and even double layering, especially if you're trying to cause earthquakes.
