[QUOTE="BnGRacing, post: 7553029, member: 557400"] Here's some advice; there's a 75% mark-up on sound dampening material (by Dynamic Control at least). Remember that next time you tell yourself that sound deadener Brand X is worth the trouble. In addition, go listen to the difference yourself. Deaden your door with the really expensive stuff and then use the cheap stuff from a home improvement store. You'll probably need a microphone & test equipment to 'hear' the difference. I don't need to read the hype and marketing from a sound deadening website. The simple fact is a HU can go from one car to another as will an amp, component speakers, subwoofers, etc. You cannot take sound deadening with you and unless you have money to burn I wouldn't waste $100 or so to only do the doors when $15 from a Home Depot product will be 'good enough' to seal openings. If you want to buy expensive sound deadening, that's fine. The OP seems to be on a budget and spending money on 'the good stuff' will not be money well spent. Sound deadening has its purpose, that I will not argue, but I wouldn't include that in the OP's budget, especially if that money can be allocated to better speakers/amps. [/QUOTE]
