Installed the rest of the damplifier pro today. Took about 4 hours because it got dark and someone decided to ditch a car in the grapevines about 200 yards away and torch it. It's only about the 4th time it's happened on my street within 2 miles from my house. I suppose a quiet country street is the best place for it.

Anyway

Here's the door before application

The target area was the outer shell. I abandoned my initial goal for 60% coverage when I heard a wonderful stereo in a brand new Shelby Mustang at Audio Innovations because they told me that there was a ****load of deadening in each front door. So I used all of what I had on my front doors.

I started with the small cuts left over from when I did the trunk lid. Only the passenger side looks like a Picasso painting, the driver door is almost total coverage with large squares of damp with very few little cuts.

After I covered what I could reach on the outer shell, I covered the key areas on the inner metal. A little more tricky, but still easy.

Here is where I remember applying the damplifier pro on the reverse side of the inside metal. I didn't put it on the outside because I didn't want to completely remove the plastic lining because the glue that holds it in place is a real pain to work with.

I can't give a review on it yet because I've removed the fiberglass panels that hold the speakers to finish smoothing them out and to have them carpeted next week- my last week of vacation. When I get the panels back, I'll put them in and give a review.

That Damp Pro is so easy to work with. I loved it when I put it in my truck. That box looks killer man.

Going to change the carpet. I took my panels to Audio Innovations to have them put on the Velour but they showed me how many stitch lines there would be, so it's all going to be redone in regular gray stretch carpet. Tweeter pods, door panels, back doors, rear deck and the [hopefully] upcoming cup holder.

Finally got everything in. Looks nice, but the noise is undeniable. I'm going to take it to AI possibly at the beginning of summer to fix most of my errors.
