Huge Second Skin Changes___need suggestions

[ifandorbuts 10+ year member]

I dont belive I have posted this info on this site, but I need some help

Second skin will be undergoing som huge chages in the next few weeks.

Damplifier and STFU-80 will both get completely overhauled.

Both will consist of a butyl base with ultra thick foil heat shiled. 3 mils for Damplifier and 4 mils for STFU-80

the tollerance of Damplifier will go up from 230 degrees F. to 450 F.

Same witrh STFU-80

We are building a new site and a new dealer program. lots of good stuff happening.

here is where I need help

Damplifier can be 40 mils or 60 mils thick.

if I go with the 40 mils it will be slightly thinner than the current damplifier but it will weigh more, so the acoustic loss factor will be better.

If I go with 60 mil for damplifier, it will destroy all the other entry level dampers on the market.

The bulk kit will be $89 for 40 mil or $109 for 60 mil

both prices are shipped for free for forum members.

I need to know your thoughts on 40 mil vs 60 mil

would you spend the extra 20 bucks for the better product, or should I keep it simple and stay at 40 mils, after all, it is an entry level damper. (even at 40 mils it will still be better than any 45 mil product on the market.

any thoughst??

well hummmmm, i was referring to how big are the packages in SQ FT

I'd definitely spend an extra $20 for 60 mils compared to 40. If you're spending 90 bucks, might as well upgrade to a better product for 110.

I'd also spend the extra $20 for 60 mils. As far as the general public you have to assume they will be impressed by big numbers. If Joe Consumer is looking for sound dampening and everything else being equal he will go for the bigger number. Precisely the reason AMD had to label their processors with the real clock speed and then an intel based number. I would most definitely go with the 60 mils.

60 mils is my advise. Also, it'd make my life easier if damplifier was "stick"ier. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

1. What are the prices on other products that are going against you? If they are the same as the 60 mil go with that. Personally I would pay 20$ extra to get something that is a number of times better that the 89$ kit.

2. How many SQ ft. are in the bulk kit?

Thanks alot for everything, looks good....

[kickerlivinloud 10+ year member]

in korea, all dampers come in sheets, and i thought it was neat (50cm X 100cm) 1"= 2.54cm.

But after trying damplifier v1, I have begun to favour the roll type than the sheet type.
