  • Lot of info in this video., And a lot of info that is wrong. He clearly has read up on the products or browses forums for info but he's seriously misinformed on how some of the products work and why they are developed for specific applications. Second Skin makes more products than just Damplifier and each one is tailored to blocking a specific type of rattle/noise. There is no be-all-end-all noise blocking product that exists. It is a mix of multiple products to block multiple sources of noise

  • @Mixamaximus Thanks for the good comment. I've learned a lot since I made this video and it probably deserves a update.

  • Viewers,

    As this video continues to grow in popularity it will ulitimatly attact some negative attention. Recently a rep from what I assume is Second Skin suggested that this video is full of misinformation. Is it really? Of course not. Let's remember that his entire business is based on misinformation and convincing people to buy his product. Ask yourselves, who are you going to believe; a car salesmen, or a guy who's owned the car and was nice enough to make a video about it.

  • @joestl314not trying to sell a product, simply want to provide people with the most accurate information about sound deadening. If you take offense to my posts, please remove them or block me.

    Dynamat, Second Skin, and most other high quality CLDs do not just add mass to lower the resonant frequency of the panel. If this were true, companies would have came up with a 5 pound per sq. ft. peel and stick mat.

    Again I apologize if I seem harsh. Feel free to drop me a line if you want to discuss...

  • @SSRepJon No worries. Just back up your opinions with facts and evidence. I want people to know the truth. If I'm wrong please enlighten all of us. Just back up your info. 

  • If I"m wrong about something please mention them in the comments.

  • @Neversnitch78 I have a mild case of Tourette Syndrome and it causes me to have weird facial expressions. I'll be nice and preemptively accept your coming apology because I refuse to believe that someone would resort to throwing random insults on the internet. Oh how low your self esteem must be. Good luck kind sir. :-)

see all

  • I've been doing a car audio blog for a little while now and much of it has been about sound damping. In my experience, and based on my casual research and conversions with experts, it's generally the consumers who are wrong. There is some poor information coming from manufacturers, but the biggest companies with the premium prices aren't out to rip people off. I don't believe every Second Skin product's claims, but their CLD is worth every penny.

  • You glued 3 lb weights to your trunk, ROFLOL! Yeah, that works but it's fugly as all heck. That's why people buy deadening mats: it's hidden under your upholstery and trim. And in places where you have raw, painted metal, it doesn't protrude too far from the surface. You might think you're giving valuable advice to car audiophiles, but all of this has been talked about and rehashed over and over again since the early 90s.

  • dude where did you buy the drank? i used to be sponsored by them for skateboarding but i lost contact with them and havent been able to find it since

  • Intelligent dude. Hes right about adding weight. Take a 1" nut and glue down with epoxy in the middle (and on the backside)of a panel and it makes alot of difference. Cool vid

  • such an idiot...

  • @420HighAllTheTime420 SecondSkin Damplifier is priced considerably and works well compared to Dynamat or you can look at FatMat

  • there is a lot of good info in this vid.

  • @afanofdeftones Lol the SA-12 has an xmax of 19mm one way, IDMAX 24.6mm xmax, DD3512 80mm, fi Q 28mm xmax and I'm sure there are many many more woofers out there with a greater or similar xmax as a W-7
