[QUOTE="Chromatic, post: 8213009, member: 659121"] keep_hope_alive is on the money with this.. I haven't dealt with deadening doors in a car yet (but I'm about to).. but I have done it many times for studios for recording, or just rehearsal/practice with my band,.. And it's definitely not about looking 'pretty'.. it's about testing each area of the area you are covering and applying as needed to resolve the accoustics for that say.. 5x5 area of the door. So I'd first knock around on the door with the interior panel on.. (if it's still on).. and make a note (or even draw a quick sketch) of what areas sound hollow, or otherwise not solid. Then do what KHA suggested.. with the panel off knock on the panel all over and where it echos or otherwise sounds hollow, or not as solid as other spots.. apply a small square/strip in that area (sometimes you need to apply it further in the door through the holes you can get access to.. (but be mindful of the window movement),.. and other areas you want to apply on the "middle" of the door which is the outer of the sheetmetal exposed when you pull the door panel off. You have limited amount of material to work with, but 10 sq. ft. should really be plenty to get both doors done. Just take your time, be patient. Perhaps, don't use it all the first go around.
