[QUOTE="AWD PSI, post: 7005600, member: 625722"] Thanks, it's hard to tell at this point how well it's working. I can tell that the sound coming from that door is better than stock. I left the drivers door alone to compare the two and to figure out how I actually wanted to execute this upgrade. This is a somewhat educated shot in the dark. I read the website [URL="http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com/"]sounddeadenershowdown[/URL] and started collecting material I came across locally. I started a different thread asking about the effectiveness of different foams but didn't get much info. I'm using a closed cell foam PVC mat in place of mass loaded vinyl and CCF. I bought this particular mat because it stated it was PVC and it felt heavier than other sleeping bag/yoga/gym/garage floor mats. One of the attributes accredited to MLVs sound blocking capability seems to be weight so while this is probably lighter it feels heavy enough to at least block some sound. I don't want to add a ton of weight and I don't need Lexus quiet so I'm going for something middle road, cheap and noticeably effective. The only way to know how effective any of this is would be to listen back to back my car vs a stock sound system Evo. [/QUOTE]
