[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 4730423, member: 569830"] Deadening the doors includes some sort of bracing alot of times and some deadening material like Raamat. You'll need to cover up most of the holes to isolate the front wave from the back wave. Using a cardboard cutout or some metal mesh in the shape of the door holes, covered with damping material on both sides, then screwed to the doorskin is a good method. Cover all areas of the door, then apply the above-mentioned cutouts, and make sure it's sealed up good. If you're sure you won't need to get into the door anymore, you can put another later over the top of your cutouts, as it will seal them super well. Do NOT put foam on the inside of your doorskin or it could get nasty as hail after getting wet a few hundred times, IMO. Even closed-cell foam, I think. I don't like any of that. just my $0.02 As for baffling, you will need a good solid baffle, 1/2" or 3/4" MDF is good for strength, but on some doors (like mine) it still gets wet and should be covered in something like fiberglass resin to help it resist water. Using something like non-hardening modeling clay between the baffle and door can help to isolate extra vibrations. There're a few good tutorials out there on how to do this kind of thing... not sure where they're at, though. [/QUOTE]
