Will This Work

[tacomabanga1986]

im not sure were to post this but i have a question, when i get bored sometimes i like to listen to just my mids n highs and when i turn my subs off they sound good but when i get home and the truck stops moveing they soud better than while moveing, will sound deading help this or no? and if it will were should i put it, how my speakers go in the door it has its own little pocke and i was thinkin about covering the hole and sealing up the speaker in its own little pod thing so its away from the door, u think this will work? i got kicker ks 6&1/2 componits with 1in titainium tweets and in the back kicker ks 6&1/2 coax wired to a memphis 150.2 @ 2ohm and it sounds pritty good but both sets of speakers say they can play down to 30htz but i dont kno what to xover them at to get above what my subs play so i dont halfto change the freq of my subs when i listen to rock or country?

Sound deadener will help, but not eliminate what your hearing. Mines the same way and got better with several layers of sound deadener.

Depends on where the road noise is coming from. Softer tires (treadwear rating) will be noticeably quieter on the road, but won't last as long either. If you've got performance mods on the car, they are usually louder, too.

2 good options for not that much money:

baffles

and

dynamat speaker kit

and any road/engine noise in general is going to deteriorate the SQ in the ride so get some bulk kits of sound deadener and strip everything out and start laying sheets down.

like when i put in my 6&1/2s i had to make a lil ring cause the factory is 6&3/4 and they sent me 6&1/2s instead cause they was out of stock and these was newer and i had to make a ring so when i took my pod thing out its got a hole in the back side kinda like its a baffle and i was wondering could i get one of those dynamat door kits and just cover over this hole in the back side and seal it off from the door itself or will i halfto deadin the intire door, and if so how much cause nothings deadned in my truck and its pritty air tight i just want better mids

door kit off of ebay is like 30 something plus shipping and it's 12 sq. ft.

it works wonders, i did my doors with it.

it aint that hard to put in is it? and does it go on back of the inside of the door or both top and bottom sides like the sheat metal and what the speaker ataches to?

You want it on both the inside sheet metal and the inner frame where the speaker attaches to. It's easy to do and well worth it.

i think the door kit is $20 at circuit city, is the door kit enulf to do both parts or just the inner frame, and is it enulf for one door or 2?

I think those kits only give you enough for 1 layer per door, so no- not enough. You can buy multiple kits or buy the deadener by the sq ft, in bulk. I bought all mine from elemental designs online.

Scroll down for the rolls, it sells by the sq ft, the thick UE is the best for door skin, and the thinner V1 for the actual door frame that the speaker attaches to. I used 1 layer of thicker UE on each door skin, and 2 layers of the thin V1 on the door frame, and my doors are pretty solid. My floor got single layer of the thin V1 and I added a second layer of the thick UE over the hatch floor, and rear hatch door.
