Am i suppose to take the big panel off thats black behind door panel to put deadener on inner door or wtf. Took me forever to get a panel off and i broke 3 clips but now i'm confused and do i cover teh big vents in lower right corner

do you have a digi camera, that would help alot. What you want to do is add raam mat to the insides of the metal door panel, and on the outside to seal it completely (minus door rods etc). This creates sort of an enclosure, also know as IB enclosure. The clips can be found at any local NAPA store, so they are easy to replace. Here are some pics of what I mean:

cover it like that, just prep the area well

[nebraskaz71]

aight good that looked like a biotch to take off. Do i covre that big vent on lower right side of panel also?

[95stroked1500]

taking that panel off is tricky because of the window. more than just the panel comes out.

some deaden over it, some don't. it's all about what you want to trade off. blocking off a desinged cab vent or blocking more rear speaker wave. no big deal on the clips we all break them.

[DSZ71]

block the vent. You window is leaky enough that blocking the vent is not a problem. Its not like you will create a venturi and suck in your doors or anything like that.

FYI....venturi = vacuum suction

[nebraskaz71]

Doors are covered with a layer that overlaps a ton hehe Still working on redoin my panels and then i gotta wire my tweets and crap back up. I should be done tomorrow and see how it sounds. So far i feel like its not gonna do much so hopefully it suprises me haha

And your thoughts??

[nebraskaz71]

Just finished with it ill get pics of what i actually did :) so far my thoughts are i can't notice very much if anything but i've drove it a total of like 45 seconds so we'll see with time.

[95stroked1500]

you should notice it in the midbass mainly. if not,....... what is the mid bass capability of the those speakers anyway?

[nebraskaz71]

not a clue? lol

[nebraskaz71]

http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/6/web/246000-246999/246090_183_full.jpg Covered door panels with black suede/leather stuff, painted speaker and tweet cover silver while i was at it. Let me tell you and anyone else to never ever do that!

What kind of sound deadener are you using? How did the door panel fit back in place with all that deadener? I kinda halfasses did mine with what I thought I could get away with because I didn't know there was that much room behind the panels to put deadener. May have to pull those back off and redo it. BTW, I broke a few clips but I glued them back with some high powered epoxy.

[nebraskaz71]

I use Raamat. I broke two clips total. There is a ton of room behind panel

I have and used some stuff I got from JC Whitney. Looks like carpet padding with aluminum foil on it. Well I know what next weekends project will be. BTW, I got my panels off with two screw drivers and it worked on.
