[bassman619]

I just want to know if anybody here has used the spectrum and the damplifier pro to deaden the interior of the car for bass and vibrations. And if you have please tell me about the setup you have and the experience you had with both of these products

that just looks like a shit load of deadener..does it still rattle or flex? My idea was just to put a nice coat or two of spectrum on the roof..rear quarter panels and trunk lid..then a week later go 100% coverage on the damplifier pro

ya i used alot. the only thing that rattled for a while was this shield for the gas tank but it eventually stopped.

while it doesnt matter if u used spectrum first then damp pro i would suggest damp pro them spectrum like i did. for 2 reasons. 1 the spectrum gives you a uniform layer and covers an butyl from the damp pro (not really a huge deal but its nice) 2 spectrum takes up to 30 days to fully cure. so even though its good to go after a week it probably wont be fully cured.

did u spray it on or roll it on?

[emperorjj1]

i brushed it on. i did it over a few weeks

do 25% coverage though with the CLD though. anything else and you're just try using it as a barrier which CLD is a really poor barrier and it's also an expensive.

[bassman619]

but whats up with the builds that i see that people have their whole roofs or trunk lids or even entire floor of the car matted with cld?

They do it wrong.

CLD just doesn't have the material characteristics to be a good barrier material.

Using CLD as a barrier is like using a midrange to play bass.

25% coverage with damplifier pro, you do 100% coverage with MLV (Mass loaded Vinyl). Just make sure you use a minimum of 1/8th inch coverage in between the MLV and the panels/CLD with CCF (Closed Cell Foam).

I know that Second Skin sells some of the best MLV (Luxury Liner Pro) and CLD (Damplifier Pro). Not too sure if they have CCF though, I'll check.

Yes Second Skin has CCF.

So they have everything you need.
