What is the best sound deadening, temperature resistant product

[anthony thompso 10+ year member]

I am looking to sound deaden my car obviously prior to stereo install. I have the car totally stripped down.

What I'm looking for is something that will eliminate all of the road noise and outside noise, and keep my interior cool. I have looked at some of the reviews, however like everything else, if you look enough you will get swayed every way.

second skin and raammat i think are the top 2 to look at.

i think there was a website you could go to where they tested all the sound deadening materials and compared them to each other.

it was like somethings showdown.com i think.

DK I looked at that site. I think it is sound deadening showdown or something. I also heard that someone offers a discount for forum members, do you know how that is? I want to totally enclose my car. You know the equipment I have so I want it perfectly done. I also want to keep all of the heat out of the cabin in my car. I am not going to run an AC, because of the supercharger.

ed (elemental designs) has offered discounts before (that's how i got my edeadv1se) and i would not recommend them. occasionally someone will step in and we'll poll on a group buy and the if there's enough interest, we will get a discount for so many buyers, or a certain percentage discount for each forum involved.

i'm not sure if anyone is offering discounts at this moment.

Deading materials are designed for mass loading, not noise elimination. You will want something like synthetic carpet padding or Ensolite or OverKill by SS.

If you click on 'Install Pics' in my sig, I describe the differences and where to find the products.

Are you suggesting I not use any Sludge or Spectrum spray?

You can use either, spectrum is just a lot easier to work with.
