I know B-quiet is really popular, but has anyone checked out Second Skin?

Here's the link:

http://www.secondskinaudio.com

I was thinking about using this brand instead. They seem to be of a higher quality but I wasn't sure how much of it was advertising.

One of the members of their board did a test regarding just the physical qualities of different sound dampeners. Unfortunately there isn't a comparison regarding the noise reduction. Its still an interesting comparison though:

The ultimate is not 70 either at the size. Did you buy from somewhere else?

So after installing the Bquite, did you notice any weird smells like tar or asphalt? I've heard about it and really wanted to try it since a lot of ppl say it's just as effective as Dynamat but MUCH cheaper. I'm just concerned that it'll smell like asphalt duing the summer months. Houston summers can be murder in august and september.

No smells even if you hold the sticky side to your nose- this is not a tar based product. I have heard that rooding materials will smell pretty bad if used. The article bert039 put up is great for details on all the products available.

I used Dynamat on all four doors. It made an amazing difference, but it is expensive $$$. $120 for just enough for four doors. You would need double that for the trunk and back seat area.

So what if I remove all the insulation in my G35, is there a chance I won't be able to hear my wife while I'm driving? Hmmmmm
