start cutting small strips of deadener and start putting the puzzle together. Grab a few beers and a nice chair to sit on and it shouldnt be too bad. Sealing the door is gonne be a PITA though

Easiest / simplest way, go out and buy 'For Sale' or 'Garage Sale' signs. The cheap cardboard-esque signs. Tape them all together, and then just screw it into your door. Cover it with sound deadener, voila. Sealed.

Couldnt you just cover the holes with deadener and call it a day?

Yes, a common misconception is that you need something solid that won't flex to allow the speaker to respond well in the lower octaves. You can also build a box for your subs out of deadener

these guys are just messin with you tryin to be funny...don't listen to them

Glad my car isn't that hard. Thankfully this huge piece in the middle comes off:

Like this:

I wish you the best of luck doing the deadening. Just take your time, don't rush things and do it right the first time and you'll be happy that it's finished and satisfied that it will make a drastic improvement.

Not too sure about this one. The speaker enclosure for a sub would decompress and rob it of any good response. It would still play, but it won't be as effective as an MDF or like enclosure of the same dimensions.

Why would you cover the holes with plastic/metal etc? Couldnt you just cover the holes with deadener and call it a day?
Im gonna deaden my doors soon. And I know I will have a hole to cover up.

That's what I did, granted the holes on my door wasn't nearly that large. I used two layers stuck together on the front and another layer on the back like a sandwich Three layers together of dynamat extreme is stiff as F, no way it's going to flap from a 6.5 woofer.

On my previous car/install I used MDF to cover the hole, worked great, 3 layers of dynamat extreme stuck together works just as good in my current install/car.
