I never had any deadening in my truck. All the way up too 156.1.

It rattles a bit on outside , I just did like a 1/3 of damp pro bulk kit a month ago on my hatch, need to finish it soon

I can see there being a near-requirement to add deadener in smaller cars these days considering they are made mostly from plastic and tin. My 2001 Bonneville didn't need any, but it was built like a tank compared to the poo boxes you get.

no deadener and can't see myself tearing my car up for deadener. just not feeling it. takes too long and too expensive.

maybe in the future. we'll see.

The only place I deadened on my Tahoe is the doors, but My integra had part of the hatch floor done and the doors. Made a big diff. Someday I will finish my tahoe.

most cars do not have deadener....id say 10% ...most kids on here are just parrots and repeat what they have read from others......

It seems more and more common people are just recommending **** without even having heard or used it, and rather base their information on what theyv'e read here.

A lot of people are content without it. But once you add it (and its done correctly) You'll wish you did it long ago. But you wont miss it if you've never had it. make any sense?

i agree

I think my real point was that I can't justify buying it because I will just be getting rid of this vehicle in a few months. the equipment can transfer, but the dead can not

if thats the case, don't get it.......

I agree with the above and don't know why nobody pointed it out before. Why would you drop the money for the deadener (not to mention the pain in the a** to put it in), if you know you are fixin to ditch the car? I haven't used it, but need to. Roof rolls and rattles like crazy with my 15 facing up. However, I wouldn't even consider it if I was getting rid of it, even if it was 6 months away. Get what you know you're going to roll with next, then deaden that.

i have always went with out using deadner. But after the damage i did to my blazers interior i'll probably consider it in my explorer.

I bet only people who hit forums used deadener.. I bet most people couldn't care less..

Deadener made a HUGE improvement in both of my cars..

Only have the doors deadened in my car. Definitely noticed a difference in the midbass from my front speakers.

I would like to do the rest of my escape, but its too much time/money for me to justify it right now. Maybe eventually after i get out of college or with my next car, but for the moment i will live w/o it.

I will say, however, that it made enough of a difference in my doors that i will always put deadening in the doors of any car i have if i change out the speakers.
