philrab Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 This is probably a ridiculous question, but I searched and can't find an answer. I'm looking at getting a Damplifier B-stock bulk pack in the near future from Second Skin, and doing as much of my car as humanly possible. At least the hatch, spare tire well, and all four doors. What I'm primarily frustrated by is panel rattles on my interior (door panels and hatch trim on the inside all rattling at certain freqs high volume.) The question is should I be applying the deadener to the inside of the plastic panels, or to the sheet metal/inner door structure if I'm trying to kill panel rattle? Any other suggestions besides Damplifier, I'm open to suggestion. I really want to get all these rattles in the doors and hatch under control, cause they are frustrating the shit out of me. 2 Quote 2015 Toyota Tacoma Build Thread 2007 Mazda 3; 5000K HID's, Kenwood Excelon KDC-X997, Infinity Reference 6.5 comps in front and coaxials in the rear doors, JL 320.4 four channel, Rab Designs built ported enclosure with an SA12, Kenwood monoblock, Redline Leater shift boot/e-brake boot/center console cover, JBR short shifter/shifter bushings/rear motor mount.

Karkov Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 I put deadener on the inside of all interior panels and then reinstalled them. Whether it did much or not I really don't know. I do not have many rattles to be honest but I am also not loud, 2 sub setup only. 1 Quote 2007 Chevy Tahoe (SOLD) 12 ~ FI Audio X series 10" w/BP option 2 ~ DC Audio 5.0K @0.67 3 ~ DC Audio 5.0K @1.0 2 ~ PPI 3 way sets (not installed yet) 1 ~ RF T400-4, 1 ~ RF T600-2, 1 ~ RF T600-4 4 ~ CT Sounds 5.25" Strato comps (rear fill only) 1 ~ XS Power D4800 1 ~ XS Power D3400 8 ~ XS Power XP3000 160 stock alt, Mechman 370 Elite, 185 DC Power 320+ Sq.

philrab Posted September 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 I'm running comps front coaxials rear, have an 8" ported now but building a bigger enclosure for an SA12. I figure if I already have rattles now, it's gonna get worse with a bigger sub and more power (currently at 4 ohms, will run at 2 in the near future.) Any other opinions?

never knows best Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 closed cell foam and some adhesive spray will do wonders- even foam weather stripping will do.... even felt material/stripping can be used in tight spots..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Second Skin Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Damplifier and Damplifier Pro would be better suited for the metal on the doors but customers have installed it in small pieces on panels before with success. We do offer Over Kill and Over Kill Pro to attach to ratteling door panel parts. It can be found here at http://store.secondskinaudio.com/closed-cell-foam-ccf/ there are two options for different thickness on the closed cell foam. Good Luck with your project. 1 Quote Whether you are restoring a classic muscle car, building an audio system monster, or trying to give yourself a bit of silent luxury on your daily commute, we have a product or combination of products that will help you achieve your goals while saving money and save time. Look around our site, educate yourself and make the choice that is right for you. Over built to over perform - because user error, bad batch, and faulty install are excuses that other companies use!

n8ball2013 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 I did both. I wanted to keep the rattles and flex down as much as possible. I still have more to do when I finally finish my front doors. I'm not doing it for anything other than mass loading though. 1 Quote THERE IS NO BUILD LOG! 1998 Chevy Silverado ext cab Alpine CDA-9887 4 Team Fi 15s 2 Ampere Audio TFE 8.0 2 Ampere Audio 150.4 3 Digital Designs CS6.5 component sets Dual Mechman 370XP Elite alternators inbound! 8 XS Power d3400 6 XS power d680 Second Skin Stinger Tsunami Wiring Sky High A Real Voltmeter not a piece of shit stinger.
