i know you've heard of this before!

Nothing new, but first time I've used it.......duct seal. All I can say is, wow. It did wonders for midbass isolation in my doors. I recently changed my door mounted 6.5s out for 8s. With the 6s the doors, even though well sealed and damped, were still resonating pretty bad.....on quiet tracks with bass, the drivers door was irritating as hell. Now with tons more midbass, I can make it resonate, but it can be made to be fairly quiet. I was amazed at the improvement. After my door surgery, I made my hdp spacers, two per side.....I put a roll (think play-doh snake) in between the spacers, and then again between the spacers and door metal. I then surrounded the entire thing with about a pound of the stuff......like I said, wow, what a difference!

A few packs I have sitting around for my install. I'll use it for sealing up the midbass pods and sub enclosure in their locations.

I need to add this to my list to deaden my midbass installation.

Now if I could just get off my ass and complete the fiberglass/cosmetics side, ill be set.......oh, and I don't think ill ever, ever use a 6.5 for a dedicated midbass again. Yes, I had to cut metal, yes, I had to cut my door card, but I didn't realize how much I was lacking in midbass....so I believe it was with it!

Here's me during a moment of stress....... http://i1360.photobucket.com/albums/...psd0da61c3.jpg

Looks like another TOOL motivated you to do a job again ;)

Looks good so far Clay! Those doors look well treated, nice job. Doing those door panels will be a pain in the balls because of the pocket. Check out my Lancer door build for "inspiration" (more like learn from my mistakes) :)

I hope to have them securely covered by the time you see it al! I'm one of the worlds clumsiest dudes, so it a wonder I haven't put something through the exposed driver yet, I've got to get the grills on soon.

Progress, bitches!

What's the ring from? Getting creative there ! :)

Hopefully I can conform the metal grill material from the top ring to the door panel, then I got some Grill cloth.......
