Default Sound Deadening my trunk and hatch! (Second Skin Audio)

So I decided to buy some supplies from secondskinaudio to sound deaden our Bearings in a can trunk.

I bought 36 sq feet (20 tiles) of damplifier PRO, 1 gallon of spectrum sludge, and 2 sheets of luxury liner pro (18 sq feet).

So I started out by removing all the stuff in the trunk and the rear panels and started laying down the damplifier pro and rolling it down as best I could, i put it every where i could, i ended up using 16 tiles for the trunk which is about 28 sq feet, I still have 4 tiles left that i will be putting on the hatch and if any is left on the doors.

I then "painted" the spectrum liquid all over the trunk everywhere i could reach to, did multiple coats and used about 3/4th of the gallon on the trunk, I will be using the rest on the outside of the wheel wells after i take the wheels off and under the trunk after i can take the heat shield off.. The spectrum goes on purple and dries black so it's easy to see where you've applied it.

Right now im driving around with the bare trunk and i can already tell a difference, i still hear the pebbles hitting the wheel wells though, but im hoping it'll lessen when i add the spectrum to them and after i add the luxury liner pro and add all the covers.

I'll be putting the luxury liner pro next weekend hopefully after the spectrum has had proper time to cure. I will also be adding some dense foam on top of the luxury liner in all the dead space in order to help reduce a bit more noise but to prevent stuff from moving by adding pressure against the panels.

Just to let everyone know, this is a very tedious job and probably overkill for the difference it makes, but if it helps at all then it's worth it to me. I am confident when i finish it'll be a big difference.

Here's some pics I took along the way. Will post more once I finish.
