Sound Deadener Showdown

Anyone have any experience with this website?

sounddeadenershowdown.com

I emailed him a week ago and have not gotten any response. Should I take my business someplace else?

Quote:

I am interested in purchasing sound deadening materials from your website. I want to start off by fully sound deadening both my front doors to improve the stock audio quality. I got the material breakdown from the Vehicle Package at the following link:

Can you please sanity check that my quantity conversions are correct?

- CLD Tiles (Qty: 16)

- 20.6 ft² 1/8" CCF (Qty: 2)

They just responded. I am going to push forward with my purchase. Wish me luck.

Thanks for your interest. I've had a 2017 since last December and still haven't treated it, so you're putting me to shame :)

He's a one man show. I met Don a few years back when I picked up my material from him, he's less than an hour from me so I saved on shipping. Nice dude, knows his stuff.

I've used the website and products in my car. I will say, though, I just redid my doors using a different product and the door speakers sound so much better. I put CLD tiles on the inner and outer door skins and door card, and had a layer of MLV and CCF between the inner door skin and card. I was recently at a MECA car show and got dinged for a buzzing in my right door. So I decided to re-deaden my doors.

So, I got a roll of Soundskins Pro and completely (as much as possible) covered the outer and inner door skins. I also had a box of deadener from Parts Express (Sonic Barrier MX-4, MUCH cheaper than Soundskins). It looked exactly like the Soundskins Pro (even specs are identical), so I used it on my door cards and to help cover the outer door skin.

Needless to say this made a huge difference for my door speaker response and sound. And it was just as quiet in my car while driving.

Don't get me wrong, SDS products are great and I wouldn't hesitate to purchase from Don again. However for me, this other route gave me a better outcome.

Nope, but I got a Google alert for this thread and now have a BRZ forum!

I personally was most interested in SoundSkins Pro. I like the Sonic Barrier MX-4 price, but a bit concerned about the heat melting the product (according to 1 reviewer on parts express)

I'm a fan of how simple and light weight it is ~

Edit - https://www.parts-express.com/sonic-...-roll--268-044 ←apparently this one is the one that can hold on hot and cold
Edit 2 - nevermind. MX-4 https://www.parts-express.com/sonic-...12-4---268-046 also listed at 160°C
