Front Door Sound Deadening

Is this needed? If you have fitted it did it make a difference and what did you use?

Thanks.

Dynamat Extreme, yes it made a difference.

for a cheaper option, go to local builders and get lead flashing, it costs about £20 for 15 meters by me, and the same job

Dynamat Extreme.

did you cover the whole door? How much did you need?

yep when i fitted my Focal components i dynamatted the whole door and it makes a hell of a difference

thanks for the pics, I will do the same!

Good job you have done there too.

...i think you mean flashing tape. lead flashing in the doors might cost a bit more than that and would probably slow you down a bit . i wouldn;t have thought that flashing tape would absorb the sound like dyna mat would but obviously it's working for you

i was going got get mine done when in a couple fo weeks' time, so the pics have been a big help thanks

I just did about 40cm around the speaker and put some wide strips on the inside of the outer door skin.

If you use flashing tape, make sure it is self adhesive and is as stiff as Dynamat, i.e. very stiff and heavy. The only flashing tape I have seen would have been useless at deadening vibration.

makes your door shut much better too, nice heavy "schtunk"...

When you deadened the door did you cover the inside bit too, the inside of the outer door skin?

I'm in the process of doing my rear doors, and I'm not sure whether to bother or not? I've got enough dynamat so I though might aswell.

Yep i dynamatted behind the speaker on the outer doorskin aswell to make sure there are no unwanted vibrations although i did only use a 12" square piece of dynamat extreme i didnt go over the top
