Sound Deadener.. Is it worth it?

[JNells]

I thought it was butyl, but then again sites have been known to bend the truth a bit. (Amazon and many other sites said it was butyl). I didn't want asphalt either!!

I did share some of the same issues as cstroker, and I can see why people go with second skin over all the others. But for me, the FatMat was the most cost effective.

Cstrokerv: Is there a noticable difference in performance between FatMat and second skin?

I'm gonna see what kind of deals i can find on second skin. gotta see what my moneyis like cuz I'm about to order the ct sound 60.4 Amp for my mids and highs to match the ct 1400.1

Just know that when you buy second skin/sounddeadenershowdown, you spend the same amount of money for the same(/better) performance eventhough it looks more expensive in the first place.

And if you buy SDS, you also support a company that gives you proper info on how to it and helps you save money.

reduces rattles, improves quality of ride from outside road noise, better midbass response of midrange speakers and bass. Cars without sound empty compared to cars with. Take the time to do the doors and do it right. Otherwise you'll be tearing down to do it later.

i really like the way you did that. i can imagine it helps alot. what kind of material did you bolt to the door just sheet metal?

secondskinaudio or sounddeadenershowdonw

I would not use anything else. It's efficient and not too expensive.

You only need a 25% coverage.

OP : do the front doors first.

If you have some left, use it in the trunk.

10% offf, looks and weighs the same as damplifier. Don't know if it is similar or not, but probably what I am about to get, with the ensolite peel and stick foam.

so go with second skin or sds, I'll see what i can find. i dont mind spending the couple extra bucks, especially since i know how much a good deadner can help

"4 mil soft aluminum finish (softer aluminum to help prevent cuts while installing, hard aluminum like others use has been known to cause serious lacerations.)" from their website ... i would prefer the harder aluminum because it will work much better.

Why would you do the front doors first if trying to dampen sub rattle? (Even if only from 8s).

Just asking bc it would seem to me that the trunk lid and rear deck are the most obvious rattle zones from subs.
