Thats my question right now too. I have a 04gmc sierra and dont want to go crazy. JUst take out a littlebit of the road and wind noise.
Wasthinking: Amplifier pro in doors, back,roof of truck but not complete coverage. Then maybe a sound deadener by the front wheel wells?
I have an RX8 that is STUPID loud road noise. Little wind noise though. Thinking damplifier and a sound deadener on the wheel wells only?
Am I fucking this up
Next vehicle gets the FULL projectTwin treatment when it arrives
You can spray Spectrum in the wheel wells.
There are three basic things to sound treatment.
Sound resonance reduction with stuff like Damp Pro/Spectrum/Sludge
Sound absorption with stuff like Mega Zorbe and Heatwave Pro
Sound blocking with Luxury Liner or Luxury Liner Pro
Other than that, there's heat treatment stuff. The Heatwave Pro has a foil/jute/foil construction that I use on the floor pans over Damp Pro and under Luxury Liner. Heatwave Pro handles sound absorption, has some insulation properties, and serves to decouple the Luxury Liner from the Damplifier Pro.
Mega Zorbe is great on the roof to absorb sound as well as insulate. Apply Damp Pro ,then Mega Zorbe, then your headliner.
Most people apply their CLD (Constrained Layer Damper) like Dynamat, Hushmat, Noico...and call that sound deadening. Sure, you've deadened the panel by reducing panel resonance, but that just one step in the overall process.
I think he's got a couple videos up on Youtube showing his process in detail
Second Skin loved those videos. Said they're the best videos they'd seen on sound treatment.
Those videos are also why they're fully sponsoring the Siclone build.
They asked if I planned on making sound treatment videos of the Siclone and I was like "Well, yeah. There will be a whole build series of the vehicle for YouTube."
When the owner was approached with the sponsorship request and told who it was for the answer was an immediate "Yes"
When they said they'd sponsor the Audi I caught them off-guard with just how much stuff I used. I made an initial request, got that stuff, made a 2nd request, got some flak for it, then dropped a couple of videos.
Had no issues with my 3rd material request for the car.
So since I knew they loved the Audi videos I figured it couldn't hurt to ask if they'd want to be part of this build as well. It worked out.
