why does everyone use DP

[accordztech]

I been lurking on these forums for sometime. I have calculated costs of doing my car in damplifier pro and in spectrum and found spectrum to be cheaper.

I see peoples builds and people doing their doors and headliner with DP but wont it be easier to just use spectrum?

Awsome site btw

To answer your question, it's because Damplifier is usually a million times easier to put in than Spectrum. You don't have to wait for Damplifier to dry or anything after the install. just peel off the backing, stick it on, use the wooden roller thingy, and it's stuck. With Spectrum you have to wait for it to dry and have to apply several layers to get the same amount of vibration dampening.

implying what he is

Understood

ya spectum on the headliner sounds like a bad idea. idk if youve ever sprayed the gun but it gets shit everywhere and if u put the spectrum on too think it will run. ive done alot with it on my floor but even on the sides its not nearly as forgiving. spraying it on the headliner would just be a pita

I was going to do this for my 99 mercury villager (nissan quest). I have a small system. Dont dogg me casue my system isnt like most of yours haha, it was a budget.

6.5 pol DB components rear

dei xtreme d1200 I think

I saw on second skin that it seems easy to apply spectrum. But on my headliner I would probably use FIREWALL so that it can block the heat, it gets HOT!. If I used Damplifierpro then the heat would eventually get in which isnt what I want.

In the doors I always wanted to do. This is a cheapermade van and doesnt have good pannels. So thats why I was thinking of using spectrum to spray because it would be "easier".

Unless im convinced otherwise =)

define easier and define headliner.

i put double layer DP for rattling and a layer of motormat pro on the roof itself. then a layer of heatwave pro on the foamy carpet "headliner"

just way messy. peel and stick deadener is pretty much just throw out the paper and done.

Isn't it something like

3 layers of spectrum = 1 layer of damplifier pro

I dont know about defining, hehe maybe by not getting my fingers all cut up and getting into tighter spots =). The main reason I wanted to get firewall was to use some of it in my 86 300zx transmission tunnel as well. It gets up to 110 degree surface temps on the tunnel and makes crusin a nice day of 76 degrees hot and I have to turn on the AC.

I was reading and I think it was 2 layers is 2mm 80mls. That was according to the website, and DP is 2mm.
