Sedan Door Panel Deadening

[talnlnky]

ok... so the wire grate... where'd you buy it? I was at a Jerry's (like Home depot) last weekend and say some gutter grate stuff that would work unless the holes were wider than 6 or so inches. Also it was curved/warped so it'd resist being in the flat mounted position.

I haven't looked around too hard yet, but someplace has to sell the stuff on a roll somewhere.

Also, are you going to mat/foam the dash.... I know there's a TSB about dash rattle... and my car started to have that issue... pisses me off... I have rattle on my dash! WTF to the millionth power. Will have to argue with the dealership about getting some worked done i guess. I don't want to rip apart my dash.. .and I know they prolly won't want to either. AND I REALLY don't want to have to pay for it.

Oh yeah... Remember those 4.5's I showed you.. the XBl^2 fullranges... I found them when I went home 2 weekends ago... Just need to remove the bucking magnet. Got everything I need minus the time & tools to mount the 8's in my doors and glass the 4's in the kicks. Even found some decent tweets in case I decide to add a tweet to the setup and make it a 3way.

Easier solution that works just as well: Get two of the wal-mart 'House For Sale' signs in thick 20-mil plastic for $2 each, a caulking gun for another $2, and a tube of black paintable silicon caulk for $2-$5 more.

Lay up the plastic sheets, cut to the profile of the holes in your door, lay a line of caulk around the edge of the sign and stick it on the holes. Let sit for ten minutes, put a layer of sound dampener mat over top to hold everything tightly in place, done.

Has the advantage that removing the panels doesn't involve peeling sound-mat AND unscrewing gummed-up screws, just cut down to the panel, pry it off, another bead of silicon and you can stick it back in place.
