I have seen two different techniques for installing dynamat in car doors. Some people do it over the door (like in this video) and others do the inside of the door (i.e. behind the window). I am wondering if one way is better then the other.....or if it is more beneficial to do both.

@nlgill13 Definately more benificial to do both. This customer only had enough to do the frame'. For example, I have a 1990 Honda that i compete with ocassionally. There is a spray-on deadener inside the doors, but I used mat on the frame. It really helped bring out the mid bass from the speakers. it also helped kill some of the road noise the car had.

Nice job.  The only thing I'd add is that I like to hole punch around window regulator bolts etc in the event the owner needs to service anything in the door at some point.

@mikem75 Great advice! thanks for the kind words. There are some real haters comming through lately.

@caraudiofreq I personally don't go too nuts with this stuff on my cars but I've done it on customers cars and know when I see it done correctly. As for the hole punches, Snap on makes a nice gasket hole punch set that I use. Its pretty sweet. Another tip is using a wet sponge to work it in all the tight spots after heating the hell out of it. I never used a roller again after trying the wet sponge technique :)

@mikem75 Thanks for the advice. I'm gonna look into the gasket hole punch set. And definately try the wet sponge next time!

Looks like a brutal power window motor replacement job but nice though.

@SSAudioMan Coating the entire door skin, makes for a better environment for the mid. You would be suprised just how much mid bass is lost when only 25% of a whole door is matted

[SSAudioMan]

lol @ people coating the interior of their cars with this stuff.

You only have to cover 25% of the surface area for dynamat and other deadening material to work.

People who completely blanket their interiors with this stuff are wasting their money.
