The Garage: Acura Sound Deadening Projects

Featured Build: Acura Integra Sound Deadening

Steven D's 1999 Acura Integra

Steven skinned his Integra from top to bottom and side to side with 75 sq ft of Damplifier Pro and 45 sq ft of Luxury Liner Pro, focusing primarily on the floor and doors. After ensuring the cabin area's metal was deadened with Damplifier Pro, the Luxury Liner Pro blocked out the engine and drive train noise. Immediate stereo upgrade due to less background noise! Solid project plan. Stellar results. Just another Second Skin customer with a vehicle makeover.

Steven had to start by removing his previous deadener that was not holding up too well. From the looks of the residue left behind, it probably was an asphalt-based product.

Both doors all skinned with about 14 sq ft of that American made butyl. Damplifier Pro... always looking real good!

Steven chose to install the barrier layer of Luxury Liner Pro on the inner door skin to cover the holes and create more mid bass.

After the doors, the floor and hatch floor were skinned in Damplifier Pro. About 35 sq ft total for the floor.

Acura Integra Floor Coverage Sound Deadening

After the floor he worked his way through the back seat area and into the trunk.

This trunk is dead as a doornail after about 15 sq ft of Damplifier Pro

When sound deadening the trunk, don't forget the lid and the back wall area by the tail lights. Those areas can be extremely noisy, especially if you've got subs back there.

When installing sub woofers and rear speakers make sure to coat the rear deck with a vibration killer like Damplifier Pro. This area gets abused badly by the sound pressure waves.

Final spot, get the ceiling! Only about 8 sq ft used up there because of the sun roof.
