[QUOTE="tommyk90, post: 7322229, member: 545293"] Alright, on to some pics. My deadening process is going to be a long one and probably something most of you haven't seen before. First step is cleaning up the application areas. First I vacuumed up everything I could, then I went over it with denatured alcohol and some clean rags: [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b78/tommyk90/GMC%20build/IMG_20110508_134751.jpg[/IMG] Next I laid out all the products for installation, along with my SUPER detailed instructions from Don at SDS: [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b78/tommyk90/GMC%20build/IMG_20110508_135504.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b78/tommyk90/GMC%20build/IMG_20110508_150420.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b78/tommyk90/GMC%20build/IMG_20110508_150801.jpg[/IMG] First thing to do is lay down the CLD tiles to help reduce panel resonance. People like to use these all over the vehicle, but frankly it doesn't help much over placement like this: [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b78/tommyk90/GMC%20build/IMG_20110508_145817.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b78/tommyk90/GMC%20build/IMG_20110508_145823.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b78/tommyk90/GMC%20build/IMG_20110508_145845.jpg[/IMG] I must say that those CLD tiles are no joke. Super heavy and thick aluminum. I found that working them from one end to the other, slowly, helped me get them very tightly around all the corners. They don't have much "stretch" to them, so this is crucial if you want them to follow the panel perfectly. Now, here's where things will start to differ from the usual deadening pictures you see. Next up is a layer of Closed Cell Foam (CCF). THIS is what helps absorb and block road noise (in combination with the mass loaded vinyl, up next). This is 1/4" CCF on the floor boards: [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b78/tommyk90/GMC%20build/IMG_20110508_152613.jpg[/IMG] This stuff is very easy to use and cuts well with a good knife.
