Silver Member Username: AfroopuffPost Number: 410 Registered: Jan-06 | What is a good deadening product that i can use for my car. I know edead is a good prodcut, but which one of the three they sell is the best deal...without beeing impossible for an idiot like me to do. IS there any other products cheaper that still do it well. |

Not to mention its like 1/30th the cost. Not as good a butyl? H3ll put down like 3 layers it will still be wayy cheaper. http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com/ |

Gold Member Username: Trey4sportsPost Number: 1022 Registered: Sep-06 | that link merely backed up the idea asphalt is inferior. "When I started this investigation, one of my primary objectives was to figure out why so many people seemed to have trouble with their mat falling off. If you search the Web for sound deadener falling off, you will see lots of cases of asphalt mats failing and no failures that I have been able to find involving butyl based mats. It just isn't possible that user error would be so neatly divided." thats just a little snippet. i wouldnt use an asphalt based deadner unless your REALLY cash strapped |

Silver Member Username: HellbenderWinnetka, California USA Post Number: 219 Registered: Apr-05 | i had the peel and seal from home depot and lowes in my old s10 blazer and while it didnt fall off completely in the california heat last summer it came off enough in my front passenger door to catch on the window and get it stuck. When i finally got the window to roll up it had smeared peel and seal all over the corner of the window.What an ungodly mess that was to clean up.It may not happen to all of the peel and seal users out there but why take that chance? I now use the butyle-based stuff that elemental designs has now and a layer of teklite over that. I will never use asphalt based deadeners again especially peel and seal, IMO you get what you pay for. |

Silver Member Username: AfroopuffPost Number: 411 Registered: Jan-06 | Well the controversy is a little much for me. I am going to stick to edead...but i shouldnt do the liquid stuff because that is way hard to install huh? |
|
Silver Member Username: HellbenderWinnetka, California USA Post Number: 220 Registered: Apr-05 | I am not sure on that as i havent used it myself but from what i have heard about it is more on the level of being too time consuming as you have to wait for it to dry between layers. I have found that the new edead buytl based stuff is very easy to apply and mould to your cars shape. Good luck on your purchase and let us know what you decide to go with  on a similair note read up on ensolite or teklite by ed, i am in the middle of applying some myself and i cant wait to hear the results. |

I heard the regular v1 will start falling off after a while, but my v1SE never showed signs of falling off, so I would say go with that stuff." I think im using V1SE or V2SE? i think V1 tho... but it sticks fine, even where water gets to it (thats around the inner seals by the weatherstripping. |

Silver Member Username: HellbenderWinnetka, California USA Post Number: 221 Registered: Apr-05 | the v1 and the v1se are the asphalt based products thier new line is the v12 and v1se2 which are the buytle based products |

Silver Member Username: AfroopuffPost Number: 412 Registered: Jan-06 | if im just going to go for simplicity, i think im just gonna do my trunk and my doors...im thinking that the adphalt based 80cent a square foot stuff will be okay?(with forum discount) I mean my car isnt going to last too long so i dont want to spend a bunch of money on it |

Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 4030 Registered: Feb-06 | ed doesn't make asphalt based deadner anymore so don't be worried. they did away with that about a year ago. |
|
Silver Member Username: AfroopuffPost Number: 415 Registered: Jan-06 | thank god....haha....so the v1 is the butyl based stuff...for instance this link here: http://www.edesignaudio.com/edv2/product_info.php?products_id=354 says it is Butyl haha beautiful...so for someone who has never done anything before with deadening...this should stop the rattle in my trunk...to do my trunk and 4 doors...(HUUUGE TRUNK...i drive a '99 Mercury Sable) am i looking at like 50 sq ft or 100? |
|
Gold Member Username: Trey4sportsPost Number: 1024 Registered: Sep-06 | i would say along the lines of 40 for both doors with 2 layers or so and then a good 40 for the trunk. good luck and nice choice going butyl |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 4038 Registered: Feb-06 | i'd go more than that^^ i have a 92 accord (small trunk) and used 40sqft. in it's trunk like it was nothing. honestly, for a 4 door car with a big trunk, i'd order 200sqft. AT LEAST. |
