Second Skin Audio's Three easy steps to getting the best results and the most for your money!!
Not everyone needs the 3 step approach, but for those restoring an older car, wanting to make their daily driver as quiet as a brand new luxury vehicle, or laying the foundation for an advanced sound system, Second Skin have 3 easy to follow steps to help each customer get the most out of their materials, time and investment.
Read each of the steps to fully understand how automotive noise works, and what the easiest, most efficient way to kill that noise is.
Step1
Vibration Dampers/Thermal Insulators
Commonly referred to as “sound deadening”, vibration damping is the foundation of any aftermarket acoustical modification project. Vibrations and structure borne sound can account for as much as 60% of the total reducible ambient noise in a vehicle. Because structure borne vibrations play such a large roll in automotive noise, the vibrations are the most important problem to address. This is the foundation of any sound deadening project and can not be skipped. If you are only going to use one product for your project, it should be one of these!
Second Skin Vibration Dampers/Thermal Insulators work in four ways.
Their viscoelastic composition converts vibrations into easily dissipated low level heat.
They add structural integrity and mass to vehicle panels, eliminating resonance and flexing.
They create a thermal barrier blocking heat transfer in and out of the vehicle.
They create an acoustical barrier preventing noise from penetrating the passenger compartment.

Damplifier Mat
Damplifier Pro Mat
Spectrum Spray
Sludge
Firewall
Step2
Closed Cell Noise Filters
After treating the structure borne noise with a vibration damper, the next step is to attack the remaining 40% of total reducible noise; airborne sound waves. By using closed cell foam or acoustical grade sponges on top of a vibration damping mat or liquid, we can filter up to 20% of airborne sound waves and target the specific frequencies associated with road, engine, exhaust and wind noise.
As these difficult sound waves penetrate the vibration dampers they are forced to travel through this second layer. As they do, this second layer dissipates and diminishes the noise, allowing for an even more comfortable and quiet environment.
Second SKin offer 2 types of Closed Cell Noise Filters;
Overkill
Overkill Pro
Step3
Acoustic Barriers & Composites
After applying one of the Overkill™ Closed Cell Noise Filters to your vibration damper it is time to attack the remaining 20% of total reducible noise with the addition of an acoustical barrier, composite or isolating mat. Adding one of these products to specific problem areas of the car will kill the most difficult ambient noise to reduce.
Second SKin offer three unique products to handle different acoustical problems.
Luxury Liner™
Motor Mat™
Rattle Pad™
