Yes. At bare minimum a single layer of Damplifier Pro and a layer of Luxury liner Pro will do the most for the buck. The DP reduces vibration. The LLP will reduce outside noise significantly.
I can't emphasize how much the LLP does its job. There's nothing else on the market like it.
But don't put the LLP inside your doors. You want Overkill Pro for that. The LLP will create a reflection inside the doors that you don't want. The OP will absorb the midrange resonances inside the doors and make any speaker sound better.
Just do a couple sheets of DP on the headliner. A sheet in the middle of the panel is what you want.
I just spoke to Ant from Second Skin Audio and he's going to send me some of his do-it-yourself bedliner. I already have a customer who's willing to donate her 07 Tundra DC for the install.
I'm looking forward to trying out the new product and letting anyone who's interested know about the nitty gritty details.
I've got a question TOYOTABUZZ....You are doing an excellent (yes psycho) job of soundproofing the interior of your truck...
I was thinking about this driving to work this morning, Glass is not a sound attenuator how are you going to deal with the noise thru the glass? Especially, with a DC and the rear sliding beer window and all four door windows....
It might be a worse sound attenuator than the skin of the truck with the two layers of metal...
I have a friend with a Jeep Rubicon. He loves his Jeep but it's noisey; REAL noisey. At low speeds you hear the tires. At medium speeds you hear the engine. At high speeds you hear the wind around the glass.
We took the interior out (not the dash of course. That would be crazy.) And did exactly what you see here; two layers of Damplifier Pro, 6 layers of Spectrum (on the underside of the car.) and a layer of Luxury liner Pro. It did wonders for the tire and engine noise and ABSOLUTLELY NOTHING for the wind noise.
Why? Because it is shaped like a brick. At 80 mph the wind is desperately trying to get around the horrible shape of a Jeep.
Even our intelligently designed Japanese pieces of art work have their limitations. To answer your question, no. There's nothing I can do about the design of the vehicle.
I guess I could take it to one of those military reinforcement companies that turn Tahoes into tanks. There's actually one in the Tampa Bay area here in Florida. But I don't have the 100k to spend on them replacing all of my glass with multi-layer polycarbonate reinforced with titanium.
So I'll stick with what Toyota of North America gave me to work with and do what I can about the rest of the truck.
The guys that compete in stereo sound quality competitions often cover their windshileds with black cloth to induce the judges brains into a neutral environment without distractions. On the same note, having tint gives you the impression of privacy and security.
But I can't imagine a six thousandths of an inch film affecting the transmission of sound in any way.
Now I can get ready to put all of this stuff back in the truck.
Well... maybe not ALL of it, right? Or do you plan on keeping that head unit factory?
This thread is so much fun. I'm assuming that things should move forward at a quicker pace, now that you don't have to wait on all of that drying time and stuff. I really hope everything goes back easily, and doesn't give you fits with fits.
Man with all of this extra weight, that Supercharger is going to make your trucks output equal to a stock Tundra .....
I doubt it, man. He said he added like 190lbs of sound insulation, right? So let's say he adds another 100 lbs of stereo equipment (which is doubtful), he's still only up 290 on a stock tundra.
So now, to conceptualize, put a stock tundra on a track with a normal sized driver. Next to him is Buzz's supercharged truck with him behind the wheel and a 290 lb passenger sitting shotty. I still would bank on the supercharged Tundra with the fat guy screaming in the passenger seat!
