[QUOTE="Aarmin, post: 7340209, member: 633442"] First, my plan is to do the front two doors. I must say, this is a budget build, so I do not think I can go out crazy and strip the car. Maybe someday down the road? I plan on starting with a butyl (not asphalt) based dampener material. Most car-stereo marketed dampener is butyl based so not much of a problem. I want to cover the whole door, but first I will need something ridged to cover the holes in the door frame. I was thinking of using Masonite (hardwood), but its not waterproof. After that I will apply the dampener material. After that, I plan on isolating the 6" mid-driver speaker. Using weatherstripping foam between the driver and MDF baffle; also using butyl rope between the baffle and door/dampener. After that I was thinking about attaching Mass Loaded Vinyl (MLV). Would it be worth it if I'm only doing the front doors? It is a 2005 Honda Accord, so the floors are already factory treated (but I understand nothing like a luxury car). Should I jump into doing the rear doors also? I'm wondering what to do with the door panels. Any insight appreciated. [/QUOTE]
