The sound treatment process requires several layers of different materials to be done correctly. This can be time consuming and difficult. What if there was a material that allowed us to apply different layers in one application? How would we apply it and what kind of improvements in the output of bass and sound could we expect? Learn how to improve mid bass, cut down on airborne road noise, stop rattles and more in this video showing the how to process for effective automotive sound treatment, more commonly referred to as "sound deadening" using a new material called “SoundSkins”. Thank you to SoundSkins for sponsoring this video!

@genericdude6551 2 жыл бұрын

The only problem I see with covering the holes in the door is that you'll have to remove the insulation to get to the window regulator to replace it and/or replace the window. And if there's cabling running along the door that would be problematic also.

If any of you were wondering just like i was, the clear green tape that Mark used to outline the cutout of the SoundSkins is called “TESA-51136” made by a German company named “Tesa”. It is very expensive, averaging about $150 per roll. I wish there was a cheaper off-brand version of this that i could buy so i can accurately create a template for my Dynamat. Mark can you please help me?

@saywhat9158 8 жыл бұрын

One thing I can't figure out is why most OEM vapor barriers have a very deliberate extrusion into the open hole of the door for no obvious purpose. As a result, I wonder if I should necessarily recreate this bump in with the replacement sound deadening material. If the OEMs put the extra effort into producing this form for the barrier, there must be a significant tested reason but its purpose isn't clearly obvious and all sound deadening applicators seem to ignore it by flatly covering over the opening. Are you aware of the OEMs intended purpose for this vapor barrier design?

@10TPOPR 4 ай бұрын

I've watched a few of these videos and can't understand one point I keep hearing come up: closing off the inner door skin to keep the back wave from canceling the front wave. If the speaker is properly sealed to the door card, then the back wave can't interfere with the front wave. Which is a lot easier than going through all of those steps to seal off the inner door skin. Granted, it will reduce noise levels, presumably significantly. But insulating the inside of the door card would do that as well, which is also much easier than all of those steps on the inner door skin. It seems like mass loading the outer door skin, sealing/coupling the speaker to the door card, and insulating the door card will achieve the same effect with much less work and materials. Am I missing somethin?
