So I guess the only thing the top will really help do is block the sound coming out of my jeep?.... And that will suck if the CLD fails and peels off... I was hoping that it would not get as hot as most vehicals since the top is fiberglass and not sheet metal but I guess I'll find out this summer. Could you give me any tips for doing my floor, body, and doors? My main goal is stop road noise, and be able to block the sound from the inside would be nice to.... could play my highs a little louder and not have to worry about annoying other people.

I'm going to do the whole inside of my jeep with cld, mlv, and ccf. The top might block a very small amount of noise compared to the doors or wheel wells, but everything is getting covered. I know its a waste of money to do 100% coverage with cld, but to much won't hurt anything. After the entire inside is covered with those 3 materials I should have a pretty quiet ride. I'll send you another email, I would still like to get some mlv and ccf for the floor and doors.

I got my second layer of CLD on last Saturday and got the first layer of luxuary liner pro on today. I havn't taped the seems yet but I will be doing that before I put the second layer on. On the second skin site it states that the llp will most likely fall off with their adhesive in a vertical position so I used some 3M high performance contact adhesive through a paint gun. It stuck really well, I had to peel about 6" of it back up and it was tearing the CCF only seconds after being bonded. First layer of CLD (took pic half way through first layer it was 100% coverage when finished) Second layer of CLD Spraying with contact adhesive for the LLP Spraying the LLP Making the bond (once it touches its stuck) Cutting off extras First layer done (except for sides)

Yeah, I'm sure I went overboard on the CLD... oh well I don't think to much is going to hurt anything. As far as the MLV I will be doing 2 layers of luxuary liner pro on my hard top (and the rest of my car) so that should block the noise pretty well. For my doors im going to to do CLD, LLP, and a layer of CCF last that will be flush against the door panel. I might pass on the spectrum if I'm happy enough with how it sounds after all of this, it's pretty expensive. I was able to get my second layer of CLD on the top today so I'll have another pic next weekend when I do the LLP. Thanks for the advice lithium.

A little update on how this is coming along. So far I've got a layer of AT 80 mil on the hardtop, I'm going to be doing the second layer tomorrow. My spray gun and contact cement finally came in so I might start installing the luxuary liner pro on my top tomorrow as well. http://s22.photobucket.com/albums/b321/homeflake210/?action=view&current=mms_picture-1.jpg Will be ordering another 100^2 feet of 80 mil, some more llp, and enough ccf for my pillars and doors panels on monday. Hopefully next weekend I will have time to finish the top and start on the back of my Jeep. I wish I could have gotten the SSD cld but that company never answered my email so I'm hoping for the best with the AudioTechnix.

Yeah, it's a very noisy vehicle.... but I'm ready to do some skiing in this john boat. I tried to email the SSD guy but never got a responce... So after a little research im going to be doing a dual layer of cld and llp on every square inch inside. So far I've got 75^2 feet of 80 mil deadner and 45^2 feet of luxuary liner pro and a hardtop; I'm going to need much more than that but I'm mainly concerned with doing the hardtop right now so I can put in on my Jeep. A long with that I'm going to be spraying the firewall and and wheel wells with a gallon of spectrum. I don't need my jeep to be like a tomb inside but if I could cut the road/engine noise in half I'd be happy. My electrical system is pretty much at it limits with stock alt and only 150 AH worth of batteries, so just adding bigger amps and more cone area would be even more expensive. I really dont have any more room in there either w/o doing a wall.

I want to completely deaden the inside of my vehicle with SSD's CLD, CCF, and MLV. Vehicle is a 2-door Jeep Wrangler 04' hardtop, the interior of a jeep has less plastic trim than most other vehicles... from the floor to the window line is sheet metal covered in a layer of carpet.... Will that make any difference in the approach I should take? The door panels have been glassed on the bottom to house 2 6.5's and a tweeter, and there is about 3/4" gap between the sheet metal and the inside of the door panel. I think 3/4" will be enough to get a layer of CLD, CCF, and MLV in there? One of my concerns is if I will be able to install the MLV and CCF on the ceiling, I don't want it to fall off over time from being in a vertical position. If anybody has installed it in a vertical position please let me know how it held up. My main goal is to block outside noise and stop any rattles/vibrations in the car for a more 'acoustical' environment. Oh, and one noob question... it goes CLD, MLV, then CCF by layer doesn't it? Thanks for any advice on this topic I've never used sound deadener before but I want to do it right the first time.
