[QUOTE="Umbra, post: 8451165, member: 658055"] A well treated door can make a meh speaker sound great and a great speaker sound amazing. However, I just want to preface this by saying if you have stock, non amp'd speakers then treating your doors probably isn't worth the hassle. I've never done just dampener, but I've done it in tangent with other treatments and the sound quality and midbass noticeably improved. I do dampener, insulating tiles for sound absorption, then close the access holes with sheet metal, then more tiles. Then I should do mass loaded vinyl with a decoupler, but I skimped. It's very labor intensive, but well worth it. If you're interested, check out KHA's build log: [URL="http:////forums/car-audio-build-logs-cars-trucks-suvs/608637-2014-accord-sport-sq-build-keep_hope_alive.html."]http://www.caraudio.com/forums/car-audio-build-logs-cars-trucks-suvs/608637-2014-accord-sport-sq-build-keep_hope_alive.html.[/URL] Just installing dampener is certainly a move in the right direction and should theoretically improve midbass. The most efficient way to put the tiles in is with the bulk of it towards the center of the problem areas. [URL="http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com/area-treatment/doors"]SDS[/URL] goes into this in detail. Even if you completely covered the door I think the hinges could take it. If you're doing several layers then it could become an issue. [/QUOTE]
