sup guys,
I need help cause i sealed my doors to make my aftermarket sound system sound better. I used lots of Edead from the Elemental Designs Website. And now that i sealed my doors, practically everywhere, i noticed my damn door cards seem to rattle like hell, even on just normal volume, not even turning it up. I know its my door cars because if i put my hand on the parts that i think rattle, it stops. WHat i had done before is take them off the doors, and pretty much glue everything i place with this 3M Panel Adhesive we use at our shop. Well that didnt help lol. All i can think of next is putting Edead on the inside of the door cards.
WHat you guys think? any input is appreciated

might of been too thick on the edead and the panel is not snug,pictures would help,I know my panels were hard to get on once i did my edead and had to trim it up a little to get a better fit underneath.

This is the first layer. Then i put that same liquid Edead on the very inside, on the bare metal. Then also i bought the normal Edead, not the liquid and put it everywhere, where you see a hole. In doing so, i had to cut some of the foam on the inside of the Panel.

did you mount the crossover,that might be the rattle

Pecka13

i did, i know thats not the rattle tho. WHere did you mount yours, because i really dont like the way i did mine.

Get some closed cell foam, use it as a barrier between the door and the door pane.

Thinking the same thing. Look into Ensolite from RAAMAudio.

my crossover is in the rear panel by the back seat,double backtaped to the floor inside the panel.

try soem ensolite on the panel,mine had rattel till I did,also did you seal the door,that pressure in the door can cause it to rattle also.

Pecka13

the biggest hole that the door has i left unsealed, cause it was just to big to put Edead over lol.
I will look into that Ensolite, thank you guys

take some thin gauge sheet metal and cut to size using a cardboard template and pop rivit it in place,then cover.It makes a big differance in the midbass if it is sealed up.

I got the same problem. I covered the holes with several layers of edead. should i go back and do the sheet metal, then cover with edead?

also, you mentioned the Ensolite. Should that be applied on top of the edead or on the actual door panel?

Pecka13

hey if i seal it completely using sheet metal, wont that make the rattles worse, since the air will have nowhere to escape it will just make the rattles worse wont it? i hate our doors, the plastic is so cheap and so thin, you have to put in extra work to make sure nothing rattles.
