door deadening

[mypitruf.]

I've been around car audio for a while and always deaden my cars. However, I've never fully sound deadened a door(covering the holes). I've always left them open, but had the rest of the door covered. Is that ok, or should I cover them?

Best way is to remove any plastic oem that covers the holes, and use deadener material to SEAL your door completely. No holes for both sound and moisture.

Thanks, that's what I figured. yeah, I always clean the plastic stuff and the **** tacky stuff off first. but, if that stuff(the sticky side of deadener) gets hot enough, can't it drip down the inside your door? Is there anything that you can put over the holes before you put down the deadener? Like I said, I've never done it, I'm just asking!

There actually is a sticky about how to propertly sound deaden a door

What you should do is seal all these holes with something like plexiglass, mdf or anything like that and put accoustical foam behind the speaker to deflect all the sound...but like i said there is a sticky that will explain all htis i think it is under hte speaker thread
