  • In order to get the most out of our front speakers we need to take some steps installing sound deadening, and do it properly. This video will show you how you can improve your mid bass by making your door into more of a cavity simulating a subwoofer enclosure and how to use CLD MLV and CCF .

    Awesome video. Very rare that anyone does work to this high a standard, and even more rare to watch it being done. I've actually done almost this exact procedure on several cars and have always been too picky about my installs to let anyone else touch them. A little more age and several back surgeries will likely keep me from taking my future systems to these lengths again, but it's great to see a real installer that I'd actually trust with my car. Bravo, sir! You've gained a fan!

    I've done exactly this to my e46 doors. First I cut a hole in the metal behind where the speaker will sit on its mdf baffle then i fully covered the outer skin with Silent Coat and egg box foam behind the speaker.
    I then 'fabricated' a panel to fill the gap using clear 3mm PVC, it doesn't look anywhere near as pro as here but it does work. I covered it front and back with Silent Coat and used self tapping screws to attach it to the door, I used 6mm foam and tape around the edge to seal them and it seems to work fine.
    After getting everything back together and working I was properly amazed at how much the sound quality had improved, particularly the midbass, for an e46 without building expensive fibreglass pods it really kicks, there is a real genuine punch to the sound.
    One thing I wasn't expecting is that I found I didn't need to turn the volume up as loud as before when listening, it's strange because I haven't (yet) treated any of the other panels. I've done the boot but that was before and other than stopping the rattles I didn't notice any difference in sound like treating the doors made.
    It's a lot of fun this car audio lark but it can get wildly out of control I've observed if you have the money.
    The only problem now is that I need to finish up my new sub box to match the new improved sounds.

    Might have been more effective to use a decibel meter and recorded decibels during transit and then again after you applied sound deadening to see how much quieter the cabin really is. And an oscilloscope to get your frequency response before and total harmonic distortion measurement before and after that way you've got scientific evidence of how good this stuff is and mid bass/harmonic improvements... BTW I'm not hating (I hit the like button) really enjoyed the video just some constructive criticism you've got great construction skills

      Yeah, I was thinking that exact same thing and how to offset it, swap out my small block for a big block, the increased torque will help and it looks like my girlfriend is going to have to go, that would lose me enough weight to compensate for the sound deadening and the big block! :)

    This guy does fantastic work, but 99% of us can't afford to spend $300 per door just on tape and foam. Anyone ever just use duct tape or something similar to seal the holes? I would think that could improve midbass a tad.

    • @gledy2

      +brown55061
      I did a cheap door seal on my work vehicle, basically mdf/plywood over the holes, i didnt bother using a router and making the edges nice as it is never seen, function over form! You can also make it a little more waterproof with some varnish if you want.
      Instead of the damplifier, i used roofing flashing tape which a bitumen or butyl based adhesive tape that adds mass to the panels which is cheap from a diy store, and you can put on double thickness if you like. I used i to cover all the small holes in the panel with it, and line the inner door as much as you can. Basically seal all the holes and add weight. I also used some egg carton foam i had from packaging and glues it in the inner door behind the speaker, and made sure i had a ring of flashing tape behind the speaker mounting hole to stop it vibrating against the door panl and to create an air tight seal.
      I wouldnt bother with the mass loaded vinyl as it looks pretty difficult to put the door card back on. You basically want to seal the speaker so the back side is in a sealed enclosure with the wood and tape, and the sealed enclosure increases bass. Adding weight through the tape stops the panels vibrating, and you can address and rattles like they do on the clips and cables with some tape. The other thing i did was make speaker rings for mounting the speakers from the mdf, so my costs were low as it was some mdf and flashing tape. Hope this helps, it makes a huge difference, at a fraction of the cost. I think dust tape would be a little too flexible to create a good sealed enclosure, and wouldnt ass any weight to the panels. Plus you can use the flashing tape on floors, add sections to the roof to stop vibrations etc. The added bonus is on cheap doors, they now close with a reassuring thump like on a premium car.

    • @brown55061
      @brown55061 8 лет назад

      I've used U-Seal on a car before and it helped. My problem now is both vehicles are black and I'm afraid the door panels will get too hot and that stuff will liquify and drip. I'll probably still try it and hope for the best. What I haven't figured out is how to get those nice foam rings for the front and rear of the speaker without buying actual speaker foam, which is probably 5X the price.

    • @gledy2
      @gledy2 8 лет назад +2

      +brown55061 Just make sure you make it like a sealed enclosure for the back of the speaker and seal off the big gaps with mdf. If you want closed cell foam in the doors, try buying a camping mat, always cheap. Doubt it would be flexible enough to seal the speakers to the doorcards. Just keep your eyes open for packing foam in boxes, but my thoughts are it doesnt have much effect, the sound will filter through the speaker grille fine anyway, with not too much deflection down the door card. If you make mdf mounting rings, just adjust so the speaker sits close to the grille, the difference is made by sealing off the air between the front and back halves of the speaker, like a sub box would do.

  • @Globalflavor
    @Globalflavor 5 лет назад

    I’m getting old, I have always been into high end audio but with the circumstances of the last 10 years haven’t paid attention to what is new. I remember when about the best an average guy could do for a car stereo system was getting a great pair of 6 by 9s in the package tray and some 6 1/2 inch coaxial in the front doors, the a cassette tape deck with a power booster, lol! They sounded good for the time and I remember a pair of Altec Lansing 6 by 9s that came along that really bumped, it would rattle my rear view mirror but also the sheet metal in the 1970 Camaro, I tried tape at first but then I found some foam insulation panels that had a foil covering on one side, it was about an inch thick and I ended up using some calk to stick it to the bottom side of the package tray, I also covered the backside of the rear seat area and I was amazed at how much noise it eliminated. Later in the 90s when stereos were getting much better, they came out with the dynamat and it helped with the rattles but after watching this video, I am completely amazed at the level you have taken it to, that is a lot of work and it shows. I’ll bet the sound difference is incredible, I’m surprised that you were able to refit the door panel with the thickness of the materials you used. It would take a lot of patience to do that work and constantly running into different types of doors and their unique challenges. I know that the end result is worth the effort, just withthe elimination of road noise would make it worth it but for the acoustic improvement, it would make even just average equipment sound lots better. I’m sure having this done at a shop would be very expensive. I could see being asked how much did your system cost, and me answering, the head unit, amp and speakers were only $300 but the sound deafening and install was $3500. Worth it at half the price, if your going to do it go big or go home!

      +CarAudioFabrication I know, I'm not criticising what your goal is, or complaining about anything. I was just pointing out something. If someone adds 10lbs of deadening and other things to each door, maybe another 15/20lbs to the rear trunk area, maybe some on the roof, on the floor of the car, maybe some people want to go the bonnet too. It can add up to maybe 80-100lbs. And on top of that add in the subs and the amps, processors and much more. It could be the difference between $30 a week fuel or maybe even $60 a week. So, I'm not criticising, just sharing information. 😅👍
