you need a layer of foam in between the mlv and the tiles. Mlv works best when ''floating''

Basically you don't want the mlv attached directly to any panel. You use the foam to diffuse the vibrations in the panel.

attach the cld to the panel, Glue a layer of closed cell foam, then glue the mlv. That makes sure it doesn't let the resonance in the panel pass through the mlv.

MLV needs to be "de-coupled" I believe it's called? So if I understand correctly, it'd be CLD, CCF, MLV. in that order.

And I think deadening the inner door skin would help more than the actual plastic panel itself.

both should be done, but the door itself is what needs to be done most.

Well most certainly, but he was wondering what extra steps he could take. Was I correct in the application order though? I've always been confused about it myself... CLD, then CCF, and lastly MLV on top? And how do people tend to go about securing the CCF and MLV?

 

[wenn_du_weinst 10+ year member]

yes correct order, and usually use rubber cement or other glue.

That is the link they sent in the quote I received from them, regarding how to correctly put the stuff on... re: decoupling the CDTs from the MLV using CCF.

I think CDT's are speakers unless he meant CLD's which are basically just super heavy duty tiles of sound deadener meant to reduce panel resonance. MLV is mass loaded vinyl, meant for blocking noise.
