MLV or not?

[rumblefish 10+ year member]

I'm about to treat my doors. My goal is improved midbass response. Not too worried about making the vehicle quieter. I'm debating on two seperate solutions. The first is just to use damplifier on the inner and outer skins, and use thin metal to seal the access holes. My second option is to use the method described by Sounddeadenershowdown. The first option is cheaper and probably easier to implement. I know the second is a proven technique, but I just don't know if it is worth the extra money and work. So, do you think I can get decent results with just using the damplifier and sealing the access holes?

I'm concerned that I can't fit all the layers under the door trim panels. I've used the damper before but never all the layers.

Yes, that is also a concern.

In my experience, adding MLV and CCF using Don's products and methods really brought the midbass to life. I documented every step i took to treat my doors and I did things in steps with at least a couple of weeks to listen. It was cumulative, but my next car will have MLV if at all possible.

I definitely understand that. Do you think I can still make a difference with just deadening and sealing the doors?
