Proper Door Sound Deadening and You

I did the foam behind the speaker.....TOTALLY makes a difference

Bass is much tighter and a bit louder. Before it was really boomy and wasnt clean at all

I have a couple questions, first:

Do i deaden the outside of the inside panel as well? Nothing has been said about that. And also, which works better, deflex pad or egg carton foam (water retention aside)? And also, does the plexiglass need deadening over or do i just leave it clear?

Inside panel ?

The door skin that's covered by the door panel ?

Egg crate is free or very cheap, deflex pads are like $20.

I dont see why you couldnt deaden the plexi, it would be eaiser to cover the whole door

Ok, in that tutorial it showed the inner panel (closest to inside the car, what you mount your speaker on) with sound deadening and it showed the outer panel with deadening, what i'm asking is do i deaden the backside of the inner panel also? And as for the egg crate and deflex pad, you're saying that the only difference is price?

you should deaden the backside inner panel if you can.

It wont be easy.

The egg crate foam worked great for me. npdang( originator of this thread) said that he had better results with it as well

back side of inner panel = ? sorry just need the clarification.

You should notice a slight improvement to your midrange. For me, the egg carton foam was a bit more effective than the Deflex pad.

you have 2 panels, one inner one outer

Most people just deaden the inner panel face. What we mean is to do the front and back of that 1at panel. Not the furthermost door panel, exterior panel

Anyone know where i can get egg carton foam? Possibly weather treated? And should i get the many small dimpled foam, or the bigger fewer dimpled foam?
