[QUOTE="DRBOOM, post: 8676223, member: 676005"] Hey hommie! :fro: Thanks for raising your concern. As you may be aware, luxury cars have better insulation / padding that gives you that 'ohh, ahh! factor when you close them doors and the thud is solid with no ringing afterwards. Sound deadening your car not only reduces road noise, it does not provide a total silence like a recording studio, so you will still be able to hear emergency vehicles if one was behind you whilst you are driving so that is reassuring to know. :graduate: There are also different types of sound deadening, There's a bitumen based like sticky tar ones like Dynamat then you have a new sticky foam ones you can get as well. You can used them both, I have used the bitumen one in the inner curved panel of the car door and inside as well to seal the access holes. I then applied the foam one over the bitumen based one sparingly. Would be a good idea to keep the stock plastic cover as it protects rain water seeping in. Also a good idea to re-use the speaker adapters / and rear speaker plastic shielding for water damage. Also re-use the thin foam surround they have around the stock speakers as they all help in achieving better 'mid-bass' up front. You don't have to cover the whole door, just use it sparingly but 'knock' on the panel to check no ringing is present. Hope this helps you out mate!
