Putting Damplifer over Spectrum

I believe I asked this before but cant seem to find the question.

I sprayed my doors a year ago.

I have alrdy sprayed my spectrum but I am thinking about putting spl tiles on top of the spectrum now.

Is there going to help or not help since spectrum has alrdy been sprayed on the doors? I am Mainly doing this do strengthen the door up or bracing you would call it.

Some ppl on DIYMA forums say it is a waste of money to keep putting more deadener or mat on and I should do another alternative like using wooden dowels in between the inner and outter areas of the door to strengthen up the areas. Basically making the wooden dowls in a tight spot by putting wedge between to door inner and outter skin I can see this working but not sure it will work this way.

But I see the as of right now with like 4-6 layer of just spectrum on the outter door shell no mat was on the outter door I am playing music on my stock speakers and I am watching the door outside the door flexs very heavily when it is closed and I am outside looking at it.

Well I plan on using my aftermarket speakers in the future to use 300 rms per speakers and right now it is only 25 rms so it makes me wander what I should do. Panel flexing = energy wasted = less music

Maybe I should put spl tiles on the outter skin over the spectrum?

Then use the LLP then put wooden dowls in between them. Of course I still have to figure out how far my windows go down to see if wooden dowles will work.

I should have mentioned this before but I am eventually planning on putting luxury liner pro over the doors after everything is said and done not sure if putting on LLP will stop the panel on the outside of the car from flexing as much.

The only other thing I can think of then is to buy sludge and just use one gallon per door for sludging then LLP. I really dont want to sludge but if that is the only option I will do so.

Just need some advice on what to do. There's gotta be a way to stop the door from flexing cause the less the door flexes the less waste of energy is being used on the door and more sound can come to my car instead. I am trying to make this perfect as can cause I paid a big amount of money for these speakers about $2700 so I want to try and get the best out of them.

You are asking about putting SPL tiles over a panel already sprayed with spectrum. I read until it started hurting my brain. Hope that answers your question!

If he didn't answer it, I will. You really only need to read the first sentence or two to see you do not understand what you are doing. The sludge and SPL tiles do essentially the same thing. Putting one on top of the other is a waste of money because each of those products needs to be adhered directly to the metal to be useful. I know this has been covered a thousand times in all of the different forums you are on.

I alrdy know they do the same thing but I cant remember if putting cld mat on spectrum will help or do nothing vs just adding sludge on and yes I know you have to have sludge to metal but as you know when you add on another layer its not hitting metal anymore its hitting the spectrum/sludge so I can keep adding layers of spectrum/sludge on top of what is on there now but what about the spl tiles. its clearly you didnt read everything I wrote or didnt understand what I asked.

I asked a question to someone who knows the answer will speak up its apparent you dont know the answer.

and putting on on top of the other how else would you do a double layer ? you put it one on top of the other.

 
Just accept that it will be a waste of money and move on. Put the money elsewhere so it can be of better use instead of arguing with ca.com people
That is not the way of the OP. He likes to argue HIS point until he is blue in the face and will NEVER man up to admit that HE is WRONG!
