"Ant, As usual, lightning fast shipping and awesome product. It's amazing what the damplifier has done. I am running 2 10" IDMAX in an infinite baffle configuration, and after a few minutes of listening, I feel naseous. I am used to much bigger drivers, but with the use of extensive damplifier and your other products, it's made the sound much bigger. James "

"I have a Jeep Wrangler with a fiberglass shell, its not as loud as an army tank but you really need ear plugs to protect your ears from the vibrations and resonance. I ordered Damplifier Pro, received it in 2 days, applied it in a half hour and I am amazed at the results. It's like a completely different vehicle, the vibrations are gone, the stereo sounds great, my wife will drive it now, WOW !!! Thank you very much for a great product. - Rick Boyajian"

"OMG! This stuff is amazing! Huge difference. I put Damplifier in my doors and vents. I used Damplifier Pro on my firewall and floors. Then I put Overkill on my firewall and floors. My restoration sounds like a brand new car. I'm telling all my car buddies to buy SecondSkin products. Thanks SecondSkin! - Tony"

"Ant. Just wanted to say thankx for the recent order of Damplifer that I received from you and if I read the box correctly you gave me a free upgrade to PRO, again thanks. I finally got a chance to install it just before a trip to Dallas from my home in Orlando and have to say that it worked like a charm,My wifes Mazda with many performance upgrades has always suffered from excessive road noise (no factory sound insulation in the rear hatch area) so I purchased one of your medium sized kits to just dull some of the noise and it easily surpassed my wildest expectations, doing under the rear seats, rear strut towers, inside wheel wells and under and around the spare tire I am happy to report that not only was the noise dulled it was all but elimnated and I had all but forgotten that I had purchased the premium sound system in this car (with spare tire mounted 100W sup-woffer) because untill last week I had never heard it before...pretty funny, But now I can hear the much less noise from the front and doors in the car so as soon as I can get any more free time in the very near future expect to be hearing from me with another order thankx much, Bob Dreslin"

"Man o Man.... Anthony.... Thank you so much for your recommendation to go for the sludge product.... I just completed doing the 4 wheel wells in my 2001 maxima GLE. I used one gallon of sludge and did not even do the full wheel well. I just did the passenger compartment facing sheet metal upto the strut tower where the passenger compartment ends. I also made sure I laid the sludge kind of thick I know its more than 3mm. I took her out for a drive today and man I'm blown away. The tire noise from the back of the car has disappeared. Even my wife today commented as to how quiet the car has become. Thank you once again sir. I think I am going to go ahead and save up some money to sludge the wheel wells of my 330ci next... "

"Our motorhome was the main reason we purchased your product. We will use it in our 1941 Chevrolet also. We were experiencing a large amount engine noise and heat through the engine cover. We took our first trip this past week and found the noise and heat level reduced by about 75%. Now I'm going to put some under the floor. WE ARE VERY HAPPY. We're handing out small samples to our friends with hot rods and motorhomes. Installation was very easy. When I order more for our car, I'll also order the small roller. Since I haven't talked to any of your employees via the phone, I fibbed on that part of your survey, but your phone service must be excellent because your online and shipping services are outstanding. Some of your competitors products were recommeded to me but I didn't like the idea of buying or renting a spray gun and finding a local dealer for XYZmat was a joke, then I found your wonderfull ad in Good-Guys. THANK YOU "

"Anthony, Thanks for the wonderful product you have, WHAT A DIFFERENCE IT MAKES. My subwoofers actually sound like subwoofers, not like a can of pennies rattling. That horrible vibration I had at 1900 RPM's is GONE. It literally sounds like I have a new sound sytem in the truck. I get hit with two things with my truck, high performance sound a nice sound system and Second Skin made both sound so much better. I would highly recommend this to anyone and even a first time novice like myself can do this. Wade Lear Woodway,TX HemiTruckClub.com "

"Your Damplifer Pro product works like a dream. I just installed 48 sq ft. of it in my new 2006 Mustang GT. I did the doors, rear quarter panels, and the trunk & deck lid. Made a helluva difference in the interior sound level from road, exhaust, and engine noise. The stereo sounds so much better now too. The bass is very clean and tight! I just ordered 36 more sq. ft. to add some to the front floorboards and possibly to the firewall. Good stuff and a helluva lot less expensive than that big time brand name stuff! "

"Hi Anthony, We ordered 6 gallons of Spectrum & 4 sheets of the Overkill from you last week. I just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate your customer service. You should be very proud, my father mentioned to me that he was extremely impressed with you & your company. I know that’s not saying much since you have never meet him before. But being his son I know how important customer relations is to him. He's spent almost his entire life in a "Sales Related Field" real estate to be exact so he can appreciate someone who takes their time to be as courteous & helpful as you. Thanks again for all your help & expertise, the product arrived on Monday and I am going to be applying it tomorrow afternoon. "

"I purchased Second Skin Sludge. After reading what everyone is saying on the forums, seeing the prices and liking the website, I figured I’d give it a shot. Customer service is awesome. Before ordering, I sent several emails regarding the various products and all of my questions were answered. Installing the product was simple enough. I will be ordering a couple gallons more of sludge and some Damplifier Pro so I can line the doors, roof and wheel wells before I have my system installed. Great product and great customer service. Good job Ant. "

"I did research for about two months on various sound dampening materials before deciding on Second Skin. I read almost every post in every forum online concerning sound systems since I was spending nearly 10k on a new system for my Nissan X-Trail. I wanted better sound than what I could get out of stock systems. What I read through hundreds if not thousands of posts and reviews was the same conclusion... no one had a complaint about ANT, Second Skin Audio and Damplifier. Everyone was happy. ANT’s honesty has been second to none. Being in Montreal Canada, there is no where to purchase Damplifier, so I contacted ANT, from the start he told me what to get and purchase and as in all the posts I read about him and his company, his honesty came through each and every time. Every concern, every question always answered. Being in an Advertising Agency, I know word of mouth is extremely important. I was interested in a having a good product in my car, that was reliable and provided great customer service if needed, ANT and Second Skin always provided this to me. My Boss/friend has been involved and building Hot Rods for over 30 years and his baby is a 1931 Dodge Eight. He is the East Coast representative for Canada and Hot Rods. He offered to help me install the Damplifier in my X-Trail which to date has taken over 18 hours and I am not finished yet. It was a superb install on both the inside and outside panels of the doors, the hatch, the back storage wheel well and under the back seats. It made such a huge difference. "

"I purchased 40 sq ft of "Damplifier" a few weeks back. A friend of mine showed me how to install it - really easy - then I slowly insulated my new Nissan X-trail one door at a time. WOW, what a difference! I simply cannot describe the feel "Damplifier" has given the door panels; it feels like a totally solid door! The harsh winters in Montreal really destroy our roads. Driving through and around pot holes is a way of life BUT what a difference with "Damplifier". It is quiet in the car! Not to mention that it has given the stock radio new life! I am really ecstatic about the incredible results, thank you. We will be buying more to finish off the back end of our X-trail's and also under the seats. "

"I’ve used 3 types of mats and Second Skin Damplifier wins hands down. I'd recommend this product to anyone. I also applied a gallon of Spectrum to my rear quarter panels and wheel wells. After driving to work today for 20 mins, I noticed the rear is much quieter. The smell after application does not linger like other liquid dampers, and unlike some products, the Spectrum dries a dark grey. Since it is water based, clean up was a breeze. Highly recommended! "

"We pimp all of our rides with Second Skin Damplifier PRO! Not only is it super easy to use, and deadens better than any other mat on the market, but we think it is from outer space! Nothing but the best for PIMP MY RIDE baby! "

"Second Skin was applied to all door, ceiling, and rear hatch panels of our team's DB Drag Racing competition vehicle. We did not expect a huge increase in SPL levels inside the vehicle due to mediocre results achieved with other "mat type" materials from other manufacturers. We were in for a big surprise... Application was a snap. We used a standard at roller only. No heating or extra adhesives were needed for the application of this product. In all of my experiences with "normal" sound deadening materials Second Skin had the best adhesive I have seen. Our vehicle resides in sunny Las Vegas, Nevada, and we have yet to experience any peeling or "falling off" from this product. We were astonished to see over a 2db gain in SPL from the use of Second Skin in our vehicle. We are VERY happy with the service, support, and products we have received from Second Skin Audio. "

"I've got a lot of experience testing and evaluating both liquid and mat deadeners (probably 30 aftermarket and 80 OEM deadeners) as well as formulated 4 OEM liquid deadeners myself (one of which is in the Chrysler Pacifica right now, and another in the Saturn Ion).

I was sent a sample of the Spectrum Sludge and Im pretty blown away by it. I haven’t gotten to apply it in a car or do any scientific testing on it, but after dealing with a 20 deadener product line daily, as well as doing extensive testing on automotive deadeners, I’m pretty good at evaluating a material in just a few minutes. Here are a couple key points I noted:

Consistency: Very thick and pasty. This would be TERRIBLE if it was to be used for OEM production spraying due to the huge pressures that would be required… however, this is PERFECT for the aftermarket applier. It is much less messy to apply with a brush or trowel than a traditional lower viscosity material.

It is pretty darn thixotropic as well (meaning it thins a bit when stirred, and then thickens when let to sit), which is very good news for sag resistance. In other words, now you can put more on in one coat… YAY!

Flexibility: In general, this could be a good thing or bad thing. Traditionally, for low frequency damping you want your material to be hard as a rock, but this tends to cause highly brittle materials that will crack over time and when drying (causing it to be more flexible anyways).

This material is quite hard when dried, however it retains a strong flexibility that allows you to bent the material it is on up to (and even over) 90 degrees without significant damage to the integrity of the damper. This is fantastic news two fold; You will not end up with cracked material with little chunks falling off and causing little vibrations, and you will have less problems with the cured material delaminating. At the same time, very little stiffness was sacrificed, leaving a material that I believe will perform fantastically in damping.

Quality: Thicker material and more flexibility… what does this mean from a quality standpoint? In general, these would be a product of two things… higher solids content (i.e. less water), and higher polymer content. So what is it you are paying for in a sound deadener anyways? A typical liquid sound deadener can have as much as 50), and another large percentage of bulk filler (limestone)… so you are paying quite a lot for water (which is very cheap), which is just evaporated when it cures, and limestone (which is very cheap) which does very little for the deadener other than add weight. The hard workers in the material are the polymer (very expensive) and some specialty fillers (expensive). So now in this material (Sludge) the formula is much thicker, meaning less water, and more flexible, meaning more polymer and less limestone.

For once you might be getting what YOU PAID FOR! Would you rather buy a gold plated zinc coin or a solid gold coin? Or better yet, would you rather buy a bag of chips that comes half empty from the factory and is made with cheap potatoes, or a bag of chips that is full to the top and made with top quality Idaho potatoes?

What does all of this mean? You can put on thicker coats, with less mess, while you are getting more for your money AND you don’t need as thick of a coat as many other materials out there to get the SAME results! Add in that it has fantastic adhesion on a variety of metal and other surfaces (never get your hopes up for a water-based deadener to stick very well to plastic) and I think we have a winner. "

"My name is Eric Coulter and I have been a very successful SPL (Sound Pressure Level) Competitor for 3 going on 4 years now.

I have held multiple World Records in several Organizations Including DB-Drag Racing, MECA, and SLAP. I have also won a World Championship (MECA), received second place at World Finals on 2 other occasions(DB-Drag Racing), and I am 3 time Spring Break Nationals Champion. So my search for superior products is a never ending journey.

Recently I used Second Skin Audio Damper in my vehicle in place of another very popular dampening product and saw a considerable gain immediately after the switch. In my profession this doesn't happen too often, to say it is a rare occurrence would be an understatement.

Second Skin is one of the few products I have used thus far that has proven to be many steps beyond similar products in the industry. When people tell me that all vibration dampers are the same I tell them that just because they look alike means nothing. Putting a Porsche body Kit on a Fiat does not make it a Porsche. Time to stop buying body kits - get the real thing. I would suggest you don't settle for anything less than Second Skin. Eric Coulter "

I heard from my friends, that you guys were the best, and I always want to have the best for my car. There has been nothing but good reviews from anyone who has ever dealt with Second Skin Audio. The customer service is excellent. And the forum was very helpful in finding out great tips and tricks. Also, Anthony is a great guy! All the products worked wonders for my application. Damplifier was very easy to install, just peel off the back paper on stick it on. Damplifier is a no-brainer, and I will be ordering more! A+ "

"Y'all have an awesome product. I installed the 20 sq. ft. of Damplifier and the speaker kit today, and the difference is amazing. Night and day. My midbasses are so much fuller, drop much lower, and have much more output. Not to mention they sound much, much cleaner. Best of all, the doors quit rattling completely. Damplifier is great stuff because it does what you say it will do, and it does it well. It's very easy to work with and sticks to the doors well, much better than other deadening products I have used. I bought Damplifier because I heard it's the best, and I agree. Thanks again for offereing such a great product at a great price. "

"I installed Damplifier Pro all over (doors, sides, rear, roof, and floor) the inside of my Beetle as I was restoring it. I am totally amazed at the sound and vibration dampening that it offers. I like loud engines and as such, I made mine as loud as possible. I was worried about the sound levels inside the car. With two layers of Deamplifier Pro, it sounds quieter than a stock Beelte inside. When I am at a dead stop, letting the engine idle, I can barely hear anything if the windows are up. In fact, when I first got it back on the road, I found myself revving it up just to make sure it was still running. Your product is great and I plan on using it again on my next Beetle resto. "
