Default Traditional or Liquid: Sound deadening material.

Hey,

I was wondering which one you guys would prefer. The traditional type [dynamat] or the liquid type. I'm looking for something I can use for lowering road noise [my 06 Civic sounds horrible when riding through road salt and gravel roads] but I may install some sound equipment later on, nothing too extreme though.

I have some dynamat extreme, but I was wondering if I should use a liquid instead.

I'm pretty much a sound n00b so any info would be helpful

thanks,

-eL

Actually a combination of both will work best, along with things like carpet underlay, "rubberized" undercoat, [spray can] and expanding foam.

As with most anything, the proper installation of the above will determine how well it works. 94

While I'm sure you're right about the combo being better, which one works better alone?

That's hard to say, I have never used just one, unless it was just a little job, for door speakers or something, it just wouldn't work very well for noise abatement.

But I guess if I had to pick it would have to be a spray product, as you can get to more places with it, and put it on as thick as you need to. 94

I actually spray Second Skin Spectrum first then rubberized undercoat over it.

Caution this is EXPANDING foam it can bend sheet metal if "over used". 94
