near the wheel well? And i believe deadener is only supposed to keep the acoustic in but not so much keep road noise out. There's something else for that, i just don't know wat //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Deadener works in many ways. Keeping panel vibration down, music in, and road noise out. Two of the biggest problem areas in my 01 Maxima were the floors, b-pillars, c-pillars, and wheel wells. Huge difference in road noise for me.

Closed cell foam, such as Ensolite, I believe works better for keeping the road noise out. Deadener is to keep the metal from vibrating from the bass.

i just deadened my doors. made a big difference in midbass, and midrange response, i'm not to sure about a reduction in road noise as i haven't been able to drive with the music down since i did it.

We did a back to back comparison, before and after 240sqft of Stinger Extreme Roadkill. It was amazing at reducing road noise.

You can never have too much deadener.

As far as road noise goes, it's totally dependent on the car. Just drive and listen.
