If you did not know, when adding sound deadening to doors, it is a VERY good idea to try to seal the door as completely as you can and not leave those big holes open.
Yes, deadening kills road noise and helps stop vibration, but sealing the door holes GREATLY improves the sound reporduction for mid and mid bass response in music, which most people don't even miss because they have never really heard it clearly in their music before. Once you have heard it, you will know when it is missing.
For sealing the doors before applying the deadening material add 1 or 2 layers of aluminum tape. Aluminum tape is used in heating and air conditioning duct work and looks like this:
Use the tape to cover the holes in the doors so it is a base for the sound deadening material to stick to. That way the sound deadener is not just covering open holes.
UK_REZ ... if you can, go back into your doors and fill those gaps; it will make a HUGE improvement in your music.

hi there cliff, i have been told to do the same on the audio forum im on. so i will be using a combination of things .. . . in the small areas im going to use a very thin mdf glued in place, and then sound proof over it. for the larger area, i may try that tape, and some sound proofing, i will be sorting it, but at the moment, theres lots of things to do, and not much time to do it in.TheGreatAndPowerfulOz wrote:

WINDOW LIFT - basicly, i can get out of the car, with the windows down, and press the alarm on and it does the windows up. I BELIVE ITS ALSO KNOW AS A CLOSURE KIT...but window lift is what i call it. IT LOOKS REAL GOOD, ESPECIALLY WITH TINTED WINDOWS (ON THE LIST)

maybe i went too far?!
i sprayed 3 coats of deadener on door skin and panels.
then cut mdf to suit those holes, and screw ed in and sealed. was and still is as solid as a rock. the only major hole is the 6 ". all other area such as the door lincages have sponge in them. the coated again with deadener. then the door cards coped it.
fucken auwsome enclosure.

damn, i feel sorry for you. You're spraying all that crap on your doors adding weight. That stuff sucks. One sheet of dynamat would do better than all that mess. and im not just talking out of my ass, put four Kicker L5s in your car with that stuff then in a car with dynamat (like mine) you'll see the difference. The brown bread stuff is pretty good but the heat resistance isn't as high as dynamat. BB will be fine for the floor, maybe the doors(maybe, if you don't live in a hot climate), but don't use it for trunk lids or ceilings. It'll fall off and make a nasty mess, not mentioning the smell. I strongly recommend dynamat if you have a few extra bucks. Try using it in some of the areas of the car you haven't done yet. I'm pretty sure you'll like it.

Anthony, the owner of Second Skin Audio produces and sells his own line of automotive sound deadener which is better than Dynamat and less expensive. He also has a hood liner sound deadening product which also works as a heat shield.
