Hey guys, so I'm thinking of making the switch to a no sub set-up for awhile at least because the room in the trunk would be nice and I am starting to go away from that whole rap/bass phase. Currently, I just have a layer or two of eDead in my doors that are pretty solid on the actual door metal, but I am sure I am lacking covering up the larger holes.

My question is what can I do or what would be my best bet for setting up a good deadening scheme. I've heard to maybe get some quality deadener (second skin or raammat?) and maybe some ensolite, but if I could hear it some more in detail or some tips that'd be great.

To know what I'm dealing with, my set-up is this:

Adire Koda's 6.5" Components with the 6.5" in the stock location and the tweeter mounted a foot or two above it in the door panel.

They are powered passively off a Rockford 800a2 getting...200rms each. Approximately 100rms over what's recommended

Currently I have the HPF set at maybe...50-60Hz or somewhere around there and my sub plays everything below.

So my questions are I guess what can I do to be getting the most midbass out, and secondly, how much midbass would you guys be thinking I should be getting? Like pound in your chest midbass? Or just make the mirror vibrate a little and feeling it at my calves?

Gimme an idea of what to do! The eDead didn't really do a noticeable difference.

you should have all the holes covered up on the door panel that the speaker is mounted to. I don't know that you'll feel it very much in your chest, but there should be some noticeable air movement against your pant leg I'd guess.

k, well I have the air movement on my pant leg now. Maybe it is pretty good deadening as it is and I am just asking for to much. I don't have any....solid panels over my giant holes in my door, but I just have large pieces of the eDead that I cut out over top. So they are like flimsy or whatever, but still sealed against air.

any thoughts on that vs. like a molded piece of plastic or something, then deadening that?

I'm going to address the doors. I would go with Raam every time over SS, and miles above edead. In general you want to put a layer on everything, I would even suggest to use a wire mesh over gaps on interior body work, raammat over it. I would say ensolite is even more important than the Raamat for your aplication, but I wouldn't go without the mat.

k, yeah. Thats what I've been hearing. I may have to get a new window motor in there and so obviously i'd have to take off the deadening and so I thought to myself, why not just re-do it the right way.

Do you guys put the Ensolite on the door itself? or on the door panel? or both?

I'm thinking a layer or two of Raammat on the inner layer of the door. Leave the eDead thats on the outside one as it is, but then put as much Ensolite as i can lay down over that eDead to absorb the back sound wave maybe? Then just Ensolite the door panel or Raammat it

what are your thoughts?

You should try to go onto http://www.dynamat.com/technical_installat...ation_menu.html

Try to download the "Car Audio Competition Door Installation" file. Might help you.

Going with SS or Raamat is a good choice imho

a while back i started a topic on midbass.....ramos helped out tremendously with the deadening issue...

heres the link.. http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...showtopic=18415 .. he explains it rather well...scroll down until you see it

hope it helps
