sealin my doors.... (question)

[crzybob77 10+ year member]

got a quick question on sealing doors. I plan on using peel and seal to deaden and seal up my doors. I also have a cascade audio door kit that has 2 deflex pads and 2 squares of mat, i mainly just wanted the pads for behind the speaker. Anyways, The instructions on the back say that with the 2 squares of mat that they supply, you should stick them right over the speaker hole, then cut a pie pattern into the mat that is over the speaker hole and then put the speaker in on top of all of that with the cut mat still sort of surrounding the back of the speaker. Does this sound like a good idea. I still plan on sealin the rest of the doors, but should i also go by the method that the cascade audio kit says to do, i am obviously going to put the deflex pads behind the speaker, but what do you think about their instructions with the square piece of mat. Also, if you have any other general door sealing advice, go ahead and give it.

i usually put it around the mounting hole also. It seems to help deaden and seal the speaker baffle. Be careful, and take your time. It never fails every time I do doors I end up cutting my fingers all to he!! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Have to agree with ramos here. Go ahead and put the mat around the speaker hole and get the rest of the interior, but take your time. My hands are still healing from about a month or so ago when I did my doors. LOL It can be a pain, but is well worth it.
