[QUOTE="Flex68, post: 7664322, member: 638503"] I am one of those people who generally questions everything, and this whole topic may have already been hashed-out to the same degree as the Richard Clark premise that all-amplifiers-are-the-same...if so, I apologize. However, I have no experience with deadening/dampening a vehicle, and don't know if the quote for materials I was given (not confirming or denying it was from Don [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] ) was tops, middle, or lower end requirements for max results in my particular ride.... and I dislike assuming! Even if the quote was from the be-all, end-all guru from the 'quieting' end of car audio, it still brings up the following questions/concerns: If one assumes it was the [B]maximum[/B] or the 100th percentile of what is required, how much difference would there be in a non-competition, daily driver if I went with, say, 75%? Or even 50%? How much difference in the SQ of my system would there be, or at what point would one aurally detect the "lack?" Is there a general "rule of thumb" for what percentage of surface area needs tiles? Mat? Door coverage vs/ roof or floor? Is there some scientific basis for what one applies, or does it come down to more of a trial-and-error kind of thing? How does one generally determine a "starting point" to work from? Just hoping to get a few perspectives from others who have more experience and knowledge than do I ! (And that isn't hard, lol) [B]But I would prefer to hear from you guys and your "independent" or "real-world" experiences rather than simply accepting what some dealer sent me in an email.... [/B] Lots of questions, I know! Hope my post/ignorance doesn't offend anyone's sensibilities...just trying to learn! [/QUOTE]
