Posted August 12, 200817 yr I am just curious what people use directly behind the mid in their doors. Anything other then extra layers of sound deadener?
August 12, 200817 yr i have both dampener and second skin lux liner pro. im debating on if i should put the second skin speaker tweeker as well... i just havent installed them yet
August 12, 200817 yr Don't have any mids in my doors. But where I have them, I have lead, clay, and acoustical foam behind the mids
August 12, 200817 yr Author I have currently using Damplifier and overkill. For the outer door panel do you guys suggest applying a whole layer of overkill over it or just directly behind the speaker. Also what type of bonding material do you suggest. Probably gana run to home depot soon haha. Also ramos who does the lead clay and foam come together im trying to picture it Edited August 12, 200817 yr by Smondo17
August 12, 200817 yr For the outer door panel do you guys suggest applying a whole layer of overkill over it or just directly behind the speaker.No. Don't put closed cell foam in your door skins behind your drivers. At best, it will SLIGHTLY diffuse the sound making let less audible from OUTSIDE your car. And that's really stretching it.

Also ramos who does the lead clay and foam come together im trying to picture it Lead and clay are for mass loading to deaden the enclosures. The foam.........well that's for a different purpose. My mids are in the kicks by the way
August 13, 200817 yr I use Raammat and ensolite foam. I added an extra square of ensolite behind the mid. It seemed to get rid of the peak I was getting around 125 hz. It made a subtle difference but well worth the effort.
August 13, 200817 yr Admin I had good results from one layer of Second Skin Damplifier Pro, one layer of Damplifier, and then the Speaker Tweaker pad.

It made a subtle difference but well worth the effort.I think if you did measurements before and afterwards you would find that it is all in your head that the peak changed. It is NOT possible for Ensolite to help out that wavelength at all.

August 14, 200817 yr lol sorry didnt specify.... assuming i use it it would be for a midrange driver. i forget my crossover settings but i think it was 130-5k or something like that
August 14, 200817 yr Admin I purchased the speaker tweaker pad so i will see how it turns out.For only what, $25, it is worth it I think.

Personally I'd get the Cascade version if I were to get one. On a side, you should really probably adjust your crossover frequencies on your mid. 130hz is way too high as is 5k
August 15, 200817 yr I would have to check again for a 100% idea of my crossover settings but im pretty sure the midrange is close to that midbass is 65-150 if i remmeber correctly.... below is the pic of my new door pods midrange is IB midbass is sealed but the ssa pad wont fit behind the midbass. I already have the SSA one so cascade version isnt happenin
