Hey, what will you be using to deaden those doors?

Well, here is where i am at with that.

I do not drive the car a lot over far distances, thus, it is seldom that i have even the slightest bother from road noise coming in. As far as sound staying in, the frameless windows seem to be my enemy. With the two 18"s i had no issues with the panels flexing from bass on the factory door skins. With the new panels, each mid bass enclosure is a sealed chamber. These panels are quite a bit thicker than the factory ones. There is a lot of reinforcement within the doors for the outer skins, hence the reduced flex. Saying this to say, currently, very little will be done, once all is installed and i can form a opinion of what might be an issue or identify any issues, i will simply plan on contacting Don at SDS and ask for his input. Rather sure most of my flex will be in the floor like last time. Guess we will know in a few weeks :)

Thanks fellars, intial testing went well, other some door issues, almost appeared broken at first, but i believe the rips were older, a few bolts needed torqued and the rivet that gave looked worn.

I can not imiagine what it will do when full power is applied.
