Hi folks, its been awhile since Ive been in the audio section but the Cadillac is still hitting hard. My question today is has anyone tried peal n seal and how well does it work? I have a 1g DSM and i have a basic stereo alpine type r components but i guess due to the age of the car and all the shit Ive taken out of it i have some nasty rattles. Id rather spend my money on the motor than sound deadening and i figured this would be a good alternative to dynamat or other audio specific deadeners. I live in Ohio now btw so heat isn't a problem.

Thanks
Jay.

 

I work at a roofing company and I use a self adhering roof underlayment called polystick tu plus.I've used both and cant tell the differencs.. If you were closer i'd give you some.

 

I already got it. I went to home depot told them what i wanted to use it for and the manager gave me a roll for free.i did one layer around my speakers in the DSM it doesn't weigh much so i think ill do another layer. It actually worked just as well as dynamat IMO that i used in my cadillac and old denali. I may have to do the same in my buick. Thanks for the reply.

 

Rattles are better solved with felt that has adhesive on one side along the rattling part's edge. You don't need peel n seal except for large, flat panels that are resonating and need to be weighed down.

 

so felt absorbs instead of adding mass like other sound deadening material?

 

yes, felt would absorb and distribute the force rather than weighing down the panel so that it requires more energy to rattle.

 

hmm makes sense. How many layers do you suggest?

 

if applied right you just need one layer. If its large panels you might need a layer on both sides of the contact points.
