So I am within a few weeks of needing to make decision on floor sound deadener / heat shield. I have read some of the previous posts but would like to get some updated info from those with experience. Weight really is not a priority but ease of insulation, quality and cost are. Let me know your experiences with different types so I can come to a decision on what to use . Thanks all!

I haven't got it installed yet but after a lot of searches I went with Damplifier Pro from Second Skin Audio. It is more costly than some of the others but seems to be high quality. I also didn't feel like I was paying for extreme advertisement.

Both brands mention are top notch brands you can go wrong with either. Just try to find the best price and go with that.

Hy-Tech SC#1000

Same "stuff" as Lizard Skin, fraction of the price.

Just applied my lizard skin. I cannot comment on if it will make a difference since the car was not on the road before I did it. It was pretty easy to spray on just be sure that the base metal is primed and clean because it will de-laminate from bad base metal.

Best price I could find was here, $344 for the kit to your door

Thanks for the replies. I will do a little more research and then go with something and hopefully won't look back.

i went with raamaudio.com/ (http://www.raamaudio.com/) don't forget the ccf on top of the deadener. it helps out a ton with noise. also Rick at raamaudio

I talked with rick a ton since this is my first classic car and he also suggested getting some acoustical foam from parts-express and sticking it under the dash to absorb road/engine noise through the firewire.

another option that has proven to give really great results is:
http://www.knukonceptz.com/mobile-audio/sound-deadening/kno-knoise-kolossus-edition/ i dont have experience with it, but independent test show it to be a front runner.

i prefer rick's stuff, it's been well proven in many competitions and sq winning vehicles. be sure to check out his how-to it's a different approach to sound deadener showdown.
