AstoSoup Posted October 12, 2014 Report Posted October 12, 2014 I am currently using GT Mat 50 mil. to deaden the rear hatch of my 03 Ford Explorer. I did the outer layer of metal and plan to do the inner layer, covering all cutouts, etc. My question is, should I also apply deadener to the back side of the plastic trim? The trim covers all of what I am deadening and is pretty thin and chincy, would there be a benefit to deadening it? I have seen a few people do it, just didn't want to waste the material if it was not going to do any good. Thanks!

Skullz Posted October 12, 2014 Report Posted October 12, 2014 It wouldn't hurt it any if you did, so nothing wrong with trying to reduce or remove all vibration causing noises. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2
RainStryke Posted October 12, 2014 Report Posted October 12, 2014 If it's shaking a lot, making noise... adding some deadener to give it some mass would probably help.

That's what I figured, no hurt in making the panel thicker and stronger for what little bit of material it will use. Thanks!

bcbrassard Posted October 13, 2014 Report Posted October 13, 2014 I like to use 1/4" dynomat acoustic foam on the back of my panel to help reduce rattles. Pretty cheap too.
Noel989 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Posted October 13, 2014 I put the "leftovers" of misc cuts on the panels Build Log - http://www.stevemead...-cruiser-el-pt/
Trey_Dog650 Posted October 13, 2014 Report Posted October 13, 2014 You'd be better if using ccf foam than deadner on the plastic 13 Kia Forte Build! 07 Hyundai Accent Build ***Super Seller*** N8ball2013 And then he gets to say ok all you guys were right. im sorry for being a dummy poo poo head.
bcbrassard Posted October 13, 2014 Report Posted October 13, 2014 This is what i did on some panels. Stinger Road Kill And then acoustic foam.

Second Skin Posted October 29, 2014 Report Posted October 29, 2014 Deadener is more meant for metal vibration and closed cell foam like Second Skin's Over Kill and Over Kill Pro would be better suited for the issue of plastic panel rattling/vibration. We have had many customers use Damplifier on the paneling in the manner used in the above picture and it has worked real well for them, so there is no harm in doing that. You can check out our closed cell foam products at http://store.secondskinaudio.com/closed-cell-foam-ccf/. If you have any further questions contact Second Skin Audio Insulation at 1-800-679-8511 or email us at [email protected]. Good luck with your project!!! 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!
