Polyfill in Door Panels?

[dleccord 5,000+ posts]

does this sound like a good idea? worth it? trying to put them behind the mids. i dont have money for those deflexy pads but i do have some polyfill left overs. thought i might try it since i seen some out of meade's civic so it should be okay.

should i expect mold build up or no?

I wouldn't do it. Specially if moisture was to get inside there. Why dont u try putting egg foam carton in there instead ?

the carton "might" cause some clearance issues with the window being down. i think it will mold with the cartons as well.

Really, how is Egg Carton any better than my Floam idea?

I'd get some clay if I were you. Or maybe some cement...yeah, some fine cement should do it.

yes and what would i need cement and clay for again?

Egg crate foam will work . You can also buy spray on mold ,mildew, and moisture protection for cheap . Concern I would have with the polyfill , is what's gonna keep it in place ? Seems like it would become a mess if it got damp, or anywhere near the window mechanism //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Secon Skin is going to have some nice deflex pads coming out soon, you can also use ensolite

Closed cell neoprene (SS's Overkill, or just buy it from apulstry shops) with egg crate behind the speaker.

We will see how SS's pads work out too.

Most doors are pretty tightly sealed, I've had the panels off of my Ranger for months now and even after a HEAVY rainstorm there is no water in there.

But polyfil is bad, water can condense in it. Foam is differnt, it wicks water better and will eventually dry out. I am thinking of some foam myself in teh doors. My Dayton 7's have NO midbass at all currently //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

what kind of effect would this have if put on all sides, top, bottom, back of a sub enclosure? I've heard of the stuff before but I thought it was only used for mid bass type applications. In the info it suggests putting it speaker boxes so what kind of difference would it make in a ported box?

pos 99 tracker . //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif Nah , drainage holes are still there. The entire bottom of both doors was not welded together. Once I pulled the door panels off , I could see daylight all the way across the bottom of both doors //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
