Ok I wanted to sound deaden the car a) to stop rattles etc.. from the ICE install (when ever I start that) and b) to cut out road/wind noise so basically if feels like your travelling in a 50k Benz and not a 3k e36.

I placed my order for a Bulk pack of Damplifier Pro and a pack of Overkill

Heres the end result of a single bulk pack.... Roof done and the passenger/ drivers front and rear footwells. Looks like I'll be ordered another 2/3 bulk packs to do the rear floor,doors and boot :twisted:

AFTER:

With the roof now nicely sound deadened (Gotta be honest just a single layer of sound deadening it has made a HUGE difference to the roof... the trusted 'knock test' going from a tinny tap to a solid thud made is clear this product is the dogs and deffo a worth while part of the project!!

Nice :D Now you just need some luxury liner for your floor/transmission tunnel, and seeing as you already have your dash out, might as well opt for a gallon of spectrum firewall :D

Yeah, Luxury liner isn't cheap, but it'll make a hell of a difference to road noise :) Overkill is good, I've got some in my doors too, but it's not quite on the same level as luxury liner as a noise barrier.

I can see CAD shifting quite a bit of SS stuff.

How did you get on with the overkill?

I've got a big sheet staring at me and I'm not sure where to stick it for maximum effect.:confused:

Yeah I know what your saying, I might bite the bullet and go for the luxury liner and use the overkill to the doors like yourself :)

Then get some Sludge for the doors....trying to get decent size pieces of damplifier in those would be a non starter :lol:

MrFoom - I'm going to be using it either in the doors as mentioned above or just over the Damplifier Pro on the floor

Well, I worked on the assumption that if it's merely to reduce airborne noise, it doesn't need to be stuck to anything particularly well in order to work, providing it holds in position. I used double sided sticky tape. Obviously it was a doddle to install :D

As for where to stick it - somewhere inside your doors/quarter panels
