Factory Sound Dampening vs Aftermarket

Holy crap, I wasn't expecting an response like that. Thanks for the detailed info and install. Seriously.

I was planning on using the OCF Egg Crate primarily to diffuse some of the back wave with the shape, but the insulation idea is genius. I read through your old installs and I see how you got it sealed up and installed. That one's cheap enough to knock out this round too.

Otherwise, Noico makes a self adhesive 157mil CCF that should make a solid decoupler and I think I'm leaning towards Luxury Liner Pro as the MLV. That's the only thing I've found so far that's not bulk purchasing and sub $100. Both of those are going to be for the next round though.

Right now I'll still stick with sealing the door as best I can with deadener and filling with insulation to reduce standing waves. I'm thinking of trying out the Noico 80mil Deadener. It's cheap, but it's an STP product so I have high hopes. Plus it's what I can afford, lol. It's on the testing list at diyma so I should know for sure soon.

I'm planning on finishing the outer skin to 100% just because it won't take too much and doing full coverage of the inside panel. I'll double side the sheet metal fill ins with deadener, set them in with sheet metal screws, and decouple them using CCF. Between that and the insulation I should have a good start until I'm ready for round two with the CCF/MLV.

 
I used the noico and if you want a good deal it's good stuff, but it could be better. The metal backing is thin and the deadener doesn't firm up like it should imo but I did my whole truck including the roof and it was significantly better

I'd go for something better. Stinger expert roadkill is way better than that noico.
