yes yes yes yes yes yes yesis deadening the outer skin of your door necessary? im gonna use a deflex pad but im just wondering if i should deaden the entire outer skin too. the inner frame is already deadened.
Ok, looks like I'll be doing some ring cutting. Thanks! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gifPlastic resonates quite nicely if not deadned.What i normally do is get rod f the stock rings ( most aftermarket speakers dont fit them) and make some custom MDF ones.
Use a carbide cutting wheel with a rotary tool such as a Dremel. Worked wonders for me.i'm working on this right now as I write this...
and let me tell you....
plexiglass is a fkin B1TCH to cut!!!!
Well, I am going to try this out tonight. I will let you guys know what I find on saturday //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
bah i paid 30 bucks for my deflex pads, then again i do see water inside my door on rainy days. nice to see more positive comments on this stuff working, i have my liquid deadener on the way for my outer skin now.Update.
Tried the egg crate out. Works very well, mid range frequencys dont sound so "under water" I spent $1.50 on it too. Took about 30 min to install with silicone. Added more deadener to my doors. The clay worked pretty good at sealing the little inperfections I had leftover after the fist two rounds of deadeneing. Tried the plexi idea with a sheet of balsa wood I had lying around, but my doors are too large and the door skin wouldnt allow me to install it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
