Quick question! Installing temperatures


Recommended Posts

Is there a temperature that you should not install Damplifier at? Also, is a roller required?

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

Your good to go at 43. If its a little stiff do what kranny said and use a hair dryer or heat gun to warm it up a little

It's best to install at or above room temp, but we've had perfect success installing it while temps are below freezing.

The main thing is to make sure the sheet metal isn't frosted up or has moisture on it prior to installing it. That can hinder the adhesion.

A roller is recommended, but not necessary. :)

strapping 2 amps together ? like bolting them next together? using bungy cables to hold them down? or wiring separate amps to each sub

If you don't have a roller you could use the back end of a screw driver to apply some pressure to the deadener. That's what i used, a craftsman screw driver has a round end on the back an worked fine

I did my car at high 30's low 40's and I had no problem with adhesion, I also used a tennis ball as a roller
