Doesn't always have to do with the audio system thats for sure.

Aftermarket exhaust and all terrain tires are PITA!...lol I did 100% on the floor with large overlaps so not quite 2 layers. Sometimes just covering everything is easier than cutting a bunch of pieces. Prolly why we have SPL tiles now...lol

An amazing difference in the ride quality of mine verses the person(uncle) with roughly the same addition. I don't have to ***** about my tire noise...lol

You still have to go into it with a sense though I guess. Take what you know, buy what you need. The marketers are just fishing for big ones.

SPL tiles resulted as a reaction from SS to SDS' CLD Tiles.

The product name SPL tiles cracks me up every time

The treatments you apply to your vehicle should be determined by what you are trying to accomplish. If you are only going for numbers on a meter, you don't care about noise or distortion since both can be measured in decibels. You don't want any vibration damper. Vibration dampers work by converting vibration to heat. Heat doesn't do you any good at all. As has already been suggested, brace your panels to prevent energy loss from flexing. Panel resonance will help your score. A liquid vibration damper will do a much better job of stiffening panels than any CLD, but it will still dissipate sound energy into heat.

Wow, some info in here, thanks!

I haven't seen the point to doing more than each of the four doors and the panel where the sub is mounted as a start, then moving on from there as necessary depending on how tightly put together the vehicle is and where you find vibrations. Unless you have a huge 10 thousand watt 150 DB setup I just don't get why people slap the stuff all over the walls, floors, firewall, etc... Waste of money and an unnecessary addition of weight to the vehicle in many cases. But a fun exercise for those who like a good excuse to gut their interior and do something that looks pretty in their free time.

It really depends on what vehicle you are installig in also. It doesnt take much bass to make my back wall and roof flex like a MOFO in my Silverado. Hell, it flexed when I had 2 CVR 12s off of 1000w. Some vehicles flex more than others, thus some will need more dampening than others.

For me it was reducing road noise and trying to lower the ResFq of my cabin to suit my tastes. So it didn't seem like a waste for me.

Never seemed to be a waste to me.

Understandable. With one 10 on 30 0watts on the rear cab wall of my 09 Tundra Crewmax there is no squeaks, rattles, or vibrations but I don't know what a heavier duty setup might do to it.

If you want to reduce noise, then you need some Luxury Liner, or MLV. Sound deadener is not a good noise barrier.

Not every SPL competitor can just go crazy on welding their panels up to make them more rigid...
