michigancapri92 Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Ok so I started laying sound deadner for the first time and its harder to work with than I thought, how do I get the stuff to contour to the indents and ridges ect to the metal without cutting it all up or is that the only way ??? Also any kind of pointers would be great Quote Teamcapri.comThe TeamCapri 1992 Mercury Capri XR22012 FORD EDGE SQ BUILDOld build logMy FeedBack1992 Mercury capri XR2 Hyper LED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zayres29 Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 cut it im not 100% sure on this but im pretty sure its better to use a ton of small pieces than one big one in a given area just make sure the surface is completely covered Quote Btw that was the first person.

BeatBox Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) yeah depending on how big it is, like in the spare tire are i used strips of it on the edges and the used bigger pieces on the flat area around the really tight areas i got the parts where i could use big pieces and the went in after with smaller pieces, it doesnt have to be 100% covered aslong as you get most of the areas covered it should be ok its hard to see in some parts but here it is in the teg i used fatmat Edited January 27, 2011 by BeatBox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n8ball2013 Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 There is more arguements for not doing every single inch and panel than there are for 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.

He is going for the loudest sq build anyone will ever hear ever. eh made sense to me but i guess that just means that i can use less deadener to cover more areaon my build Quote Btw that was the first person.

EclipseChris Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) The more deadener you can put the better. But there actually is a strategy behind it. Focus on doing the weaker panels first. Like for mine my roof is on thin ass sheet of metal, i'm going to put about 20sqft of damp pro on that alone.
