Sound Deading Doors
Figured I'd share some of the work I did this weekend on my updated speaker installation. While I was in the doors changing the speakers to Morel Reference components, I was sure to add additional generous sound deading and absorbing to the panels that could potentially resonate.
On both the inside of the door and door cards, I used a layer of mass loading butyl sound deadening, then insulated the speaker mount area with felt used for furniture scratch pads, followed by two full layers of felt and the factory door fleece. I also added a layer of felt around the speaker to help further dampen and isolate sounds coming from behind the speaker cone.
The door panels still fit back on easily without any interference. Made a fairly noticable improvement to the acoustics and only cost about $25. Hopefully this helps out anyone looking to upgrade their system and improve the sound quality.
