Sound Deadening in Doors

Hey All

I meant to put these pics up ages ago but forgot.

I didn't have enough to cover the whole door card, so I chopped it up!

Excuse me for my ignorance but that's Dynamat or some kind of similar product for the doors won't tremble with the bass from the speakers, right? How much did you paid for that sheet?

The stuff around the speaker is Dynamat, and the stuff on the door card is Brown Bread.

Can't remember how much I paid for the Dynamat (the stuff I put on is designed to go round the speakers and only comes in small amounts).

The Brown Bread was proper cheap... £3.99 for each door (in a sale at Maplins!)

Makes quite a difference actually.

ps. Zahir... Yep, got your mail... Really sorry mate, I've been crap with this. I'll write it out tonight and send it tomorrow. Sorry :(

this place sells brownbread and dynamat, not too bad prices by the looks of it.

Josh: why did you use small pieces instead of doing the whole board?
what speakers did you have before Focal? If not stock speakers, then was the improvement immense? What amp are you using for those Focals?

Josh_PoloGTi did you notice big improvemments after putting dynamat? does your front doors tremble with the bass from the speakers. I'm going to buy some new speakers and I was wondering if it's worth it to put some dynamat on the doors.

I had stock speakers before the Focals and I use a Boston Acoustics amp to power them. They sound FAR better than the stock speakers.

I have noticed much improved bass response after fitting the dynamat.

I cut into pieces as I'm a cheapskate and only bought 2 rolls!
