OK,
Typhoon is coming back from paint/body in 3 weeks. Need to order sound deadener for hte interior. I have not been in the game with this stuff for a long time. Any hints? I am doing the entire vehicle (roof, doors, floors).
So, cost... obviously cheaper is great!
Any hints?

Re: Best Sound Deadener?

Last one i used was http://www.r-blox.com/ Woked pretty good. I was think if I had to do another, I would use the peel and seel stuff and then cover that with a layer of good stuff. Completely sealing in the first layer so you won't smell the ashphalt based cheap stuff.

You could also layer the bottom of the shell with some bed liner (even to DIY stuff would work)

cement, But really all the stuff is basically the same , it adds mass you can pay for a name or not if the truck is gutted, do a spray in much more effective

I used raamat in my jimmy with the ensolite foam on top in most areas. I used a little under 200ft², doubled up in some areas, such as the roof. The difference afterwards was amazing how much road noise was cut down. This was before adding the foam.

Someone just did this not too long ago. I want to say they did the entire interior of a Ty. I'll see what I can find.

edit: This is what I remember seeing. Craig Jones was talking about it and apparently had samples at Homecoming.

There's a lot of good info on that site. Like his statement that more than 25% coverage with cld tiles is wasteful and counter-productive. You don't have to cover every square inch of your interior with it.

You can see the results of his testing before he whored out at http://wayback.archive.org/web/20060715000000*/http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com

I just wanted to show the different options. It's no longer just peel and stick stuff out there. CLD tiles that don't require you to cover the whole car, closed cell foam, mass loaded vinyl, etc.

I did the cab of the Sy with a combination of Peel and Seal, Dynamat, spray bed liner, then covered everything in radiant heat barrier from http://www.lobucrod.com/.

Re: Best Sound Deadener?

There was a discussion about this on blazinlow as well - lot of audio guys over there.

Damplifier Pro was the over all choice, but there were a lot of guys who preferred the spray in stuff too.

http://www.lizardskin.com/

For spray in, lizard skin was the recommendation.

As an FYI I've yet to use either. We used fatmat on my brother's Monte Carlo (roughly 6 years ago), and we were less than impressed with the final results. It was a PITA to cut straight, and would constantly gum up the knife. Cold sheets of material and roller knife would most likely have made the task a heck of a lot easier.

I use a old tile cutter, and buy good razor blades or scissors

Re: Best Sound Deadener?

There is enough cheap sound deadener available that there is no reason to use asphalt based deadener at Home Depot or Lowes in a SyTy. You want to make sure it has a good adheasive. I used some generic stuff and it work great. I forgot what I bought but I had found a webpage with a bunch of comparisons. It may have even the one link above.
