Sedan Door Panel Deadening

[sqcomp]

I have many more pictured than what is actually shown here. This should give anyone who wants a look inside the door of a sedan a pretty darned good idea of what to expect with a proper deadening of the door.

My my...this looks like a door:



The power controls removed. It is just one screw and the removal of the control panel:



The sail panel removed:



The door skin off, with the handle screw, the pop pin right below the sail panel removed, and the moisture barrier tossed:



Laying down deadening on the outer door skin:






A Dynasorb panel added behind the stock speaker:



Building a base to put the deadeing over, it's initially placed with hot glue and then silicone:



Deadening of inner door skin:







I put a second layer on the bigger "open" areas that have the reinforcement under it:



1/4" of Ensolite roughly cut to fit the door:



This is GREAT contact glue:



The Ensolite on the door panel:



Here's the lock and handle lines wrapped in Ensolite...juuuust in case:



After the Ensolite was put on, I trimmed it up a little bit. The inside door panel had some styrofoam that I removed. I put more deadening on the panel itself. When I get some time I'll take some corrugated egg crate foam and hit the rear bottom of the panel for my own satisfaction.

The door panel already had a nice solid sound when it closed...now, it's a very satisfying, weighty sound. I'll kick up another posting when I do the trunk and the floor pan. It's going to be a few months before the Hybrid Audio L841-3 set goes in. Of course, the pictures will follow with that. The alarm comes first...It's a nice little AutoPage RS-1000. That happens next month. No pictures on that, sorry!
