E-Dead liquid sound deadener
anyone ever use this stuff?
I am looking to coat the inside of my Fairlady with it. I am going to clean all the bare metal, apply a rust inhibitor and then a coat of rubberized spray over that.
I was thinking of the E-Dead liquid as the next step and then foam padding before the carpeting.
Give me some feedback.
I am looking for decreasing road noise and a future high end stereo system (after the restoration is finished)

Any type of liquid deadener is messy as hell and you also have to wait until it dries which is also a pain in the ***. If you want to decrease road noise you would want to do a multistep approach to get the best results.
I would first use a sound deadener like Raammat.
http://www.raamaudio.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi or any other one you decide like Elemental designs or Brown Bread or Dynomat.
Then on top of that you would use a thin, lightweight closed cell foam like Raamaudio's Ensolite or E-dead V4 Teklite http://www.edesignaudio.com/product_...products_id=55 or Neoprene http://www.foambymail.com/neoprene.html This will filter out airborne sound waves.
Next on top of that if you really want your car to ride like a lexus I would put an open cell foam/luxury liner like Jute http://www.yourautotrim.com/jutecarpetpad.html Adding this though will probably add the most weight but give you the best results.

Ok here is the Sound Deadening Showdown for you peeps trying to decide what brands to go with.
http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com/
The highest quality was from Second Skin Audio and the best overall value was the Raammat.
Also I have been researching this topic for a while since I will be doing my entire car soon but from my research the easiest closed cell foam to work with is the E-dead V4 Teklite. It has a peel and stick adhesive that sticks to OEM sound deadening, factory panels and metals, This way you don't have to use extra messy adhesives in order to get the closed cell foam to stick to the deadener.

I used a liquid dampener called QuietCar. It can be sprayed, brushed or rolled on. I used a brush and put 3 coats on the interior and 5 coats in the wheel wells and firewall. I could not be happier. $275 for 5 gals and I still have about 1.5-2.0 gals leftover. The highs and bass are noticeably better and the road noise is almost unnoticeable with 275 nitto's.
Are those the new E-Dead jeans?
