[QUOTE="FoxPro5, post: 6084034, member: 562649"] Which driver? My thought is those rain guard things choke the driver and change it's Q in a bad way. Do you like the sound with them in? Have you tried without? I'd go through and glue the panel together, hence making it one more solid piece. From there, you can damp with squares of deadening mat it where it resonates. Test it by whacking it with the butt end of a screw driver. Not a fan of creating a floating baffle by decoupling the panel from the door in this case. Let a VE damper do it's job and treat rattles at the source. Deadening is not mass loading. Heavier things are more difficult to set into motion, sure..but use weighting things down as a tactic once a VE damper has been given a chance to do that for you. I have lots of lead and clay and other stuff in my doors too, but a little more planning and thought process could have saved me 10# and possibly my poor hinges down the road. [/QUOTE]
