When you said: I’m a perfectionist and started using the correct tools to make the template...you sold me brother! I’m a huge fan of your work now. Hooyah!!!

Wow, a lot has changed in 8 years. Although this video is still applicable today, your delivery of the information and the production of your newer videos show how hard you have worked on craft. And I'm not talking about just the technical side, you have really become a professional that I have turned too many times when I've got questions. Thanks for all you do Mark!

This is hands down the best how to video out there for this process. It seems like common sense but few people realize even sound dampening takes planning. Good job Mark!

It's nice to see someone actually take that time and professionalism into installing sound deadener! I myself am OCD and take it to the extreme of neatness as u did, were I see people who think they do great work but no where near that level. Awesome video!!!

It looks amazing and amazingly expensive at the same time.

Awesome video. Very rare that anyone does work to this high a standard, and even more rare to watch it being done. I've actually done almost this exact procedure on several cars and have always been too picky about my installs to let anyone else touch them. A little more age and several back surgeries will likely keep me from taking my future systems to these lengths again, but it's great to see a real installer that I'd actually trust with my car. Bravo, sir! You've gained a fan!

The video was very helpful. It's tough to find tutorials that show this side of car audio at all, yet alone doing it very well. I'll definitely be attempting this process in the future with this video as a reference. Thank you.

In my opinion this is one of your best videos. They're all great but this was the most professional door panel I've seen

awesome work man, very few people would share their experience like yourself, greatly appreciated and keep up the good work!!!

Wow this was very impressive. You can always see when someone knows what they are doing and does quality work

Coming into this 9 years after posting. 9 years ago, I was very into car audio, and I probably had this in my feed back then. I've been out of the game for quite a while & Im getting back into the hobby. This video is still applicable & very informative! Love how you explain everything!

Thanks a ton! Was thinking at work today that I needed to do something about my door speakers and here you are again with some great info. I appreciate all the vids you have posted, keep up the awesome work!

Mark, you're amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and the presentation is so well done. It makes it easy for us to follow along at home.

Wow!! You did a great job. You addressed everything. I wonder what it sounded like before compared to what it sounded like afterwards. I bet it was,a night and day difference. Keep the great videos coming.

Glad to see you're still makin vids. Keep up the good work, love it!

Your videos are the most informative I have found, and I have done a lot of searching. Thank you for sharing! !

Man, this guy is really good.

Its been a week and I have finally got everthing installed :D! Did everything you did mark to my doors and MY GOD I CAN DEF HEAR THE MIDBASS ALOT MORE!! Going to order more material to dampen my rear doors! Thanks for the upload :)

This one of my Favorite Videos I have been in Car for a while but I took a really long break lol I love the outside of the box thinking...

you guys just crush this stuff. make it look so easy. nice work with all of these videos!

Nice job Mark, it's nice to see someone who takes pride in their work as you do, that is something that is hard to find these days. Awesome job on the video as well. Thanks for taking the time to teach us this cool trick.

Insane over kill.. my kinda of mod.. thumbs up

Definitely the most professional car audio channel on the internet. although it’s extremely expensive to do these install with proper tools but it’s a great guideline. Keep it up cause I’m hooked “pun intended”

I usually find random install videos etc annoying to watch for some reason, but you're pretty good. I like how you're not trying to be funny like everyone seems to think they need to be, and you speak very clearly, in an easy to follow way

That door must close like an F***in Vault door haha

Totally pro damn nice I learned a lot,thanks!

Wow. Your knowledge and technical skills are first class! Great video!

I've done exactly this to my e46 doors. First I cut a hole in the metal behind where the speaker will sit on its mdf baffle then i fully covered the outer skin with Silent Coat and egg box foam behind the speaker. I then 'fabricated' a panel to fill the gap using clear 3mm PVC, it doesn't look anywhere near as pro as here but it does work. I covered it front and back with Silent Coat and used self tapping screws to attach it to the door, I used 6mm foam and tape around the edge to seal them and it seems to work fine. After getting everything back together and working I was properly amazed at how much the sound quality had improved, particularly the midbass, for an e46 without building expensive fibreglass pods it really kicks, there is a real genuine punch to the sound. One thing I wasn't expecting is that I found I didn't need to turn the volume up as loud as before when listening, it's strange because I haven't (yet) treated any of the other panels. I've done the boot but that was before and other than stopping the rattles I didn't notice any difference in sound like treating the doors made. It's a lot of fun this car audio lark but it can get wildly out of control I've observed if you have the money. The only problem now is that I need to finish up my new sub box to match the new improved sounds.

Having used a variety of different sound deadeners, I to am sold on Second Skin. I find that I get better results using a rubber J-Roller than a wooden roller. To each his own.

Wish I had a bunch of $$$ to just turn you loose on my car. You do amazing work.

Amazing. So much work and so well executed. You rock. I am glad that a Golf IV door does not have these "80s" vape membranes but instead is sealed with a metal sheet and saves a lot of work

Man . I love you're video's. you're always one step ahead and have the smartest, best, ideas design's, and looks thanks I'm glad I found your channel keep up the Great Work

my dude that's a HELL of a job well done. but I'll stick with foam and tape for now haha. enjoyed the video very much!

Hey CarAudioFabrication (Matt) This is AMAZING! You're videos have inspired me to take my install to the next level. Did you find the Second Skin Luxury Liner Pro - 9 Square Feet single sheet was enough to do both doors? I'm only doing my front doors with this setup. I want to make sure cause shipping is expensive for me and don't want to have to re-order.

Dang... this is hardcore. Thanks for posting. This video is gold.

The attention to detail and amount of information provided is excellent. Thank you very much for sharing!

Great video, very informative and edited nicely. A before and after in-car DB test would had been interesting. Keep them coming !

If I got into an accident after doing all of this I'd go to prison for murdering the person who hit me

thanks for the vídeos!! keep on rocking!!! cheers from Brazil !!

This is what a pro looks like! You are on another level man! Beautiful work!

My hopes crushed that's just one door!! I'll just add second skin behind each speaker... Nice work man and patience!!

Hey Mark awesome work. this has def inspired me to follow your tutorial. Do you know where we can get that Green tesa tape

seriously good work!, i can now follow your guide when doing my own car!, thanks and keep up the good work!

I just watched this video and Ive been looking for some sound deadening stuff but also some ideas and doing it myself. Thanks alot for the vid.

Craftsmanship!

You are the God of the sound my friend! You are genius! I'm your bigest fan!! Thanks for sharing your experiences and teaching us to solve this kind of problems!!!

Nice werk! I used to work as a pro installer, and I actually learned some things watching this video!

Once again, a well done and informative video. Thank you for making these.

How to sound deaden your car: Step 1: Get someone else to do it.

Might have been more effective to use a decibel meter and recorded decibels during transit and then again after you applied sound deadening to see how much quieter the cabin really is. And an oscilloscope to get your frequency response before and total harmonic distortion measurement before and after that way you've got scientific evidence of how good this stuff is and mid bass/harmonic improvements... BTW I'm not hating (I hit the like button) really enjoyed the video just some constructive criticism you've got great construction skills

Always my favorite topic ! So many installers and Shops doesn't offer or carry sound deadening

Awesome video. Great attention to detail and nothing wrong with being a perfectionist. I am sure there was a noticeable difference in sound quality.

Seems like more than you would ever need... almost felt like guy was just trying to sale me a crap ton of this company's products.

I FEEL SORRY FOR THE GUY THATS GOING TO CHANGE THE GLASS IF IT BRAKES LOL

Awesome, thank you for an excellent video Mark. I'm sure this will drastically improve and help deaden the sound on my doors. Thanks!!!

WOW, way to take it to the next level!!! most people would have just slapped some sound dampener overtop of where ever they could and called it "good enough"... and that makes a huge difference, but I can only imagine how amazing all that extra stuff will help... nice job mark, I look forward to seeing more vids of yours, I always learn something every time I watch one of your vids :)

how much did that job cost the customer

That was insane ! I need you to deaden my Tahoe ... Lol

You're THE BEST on KZfaq! Absolutely!

Above and beyond! Fantastic! I'd like to try this to my car

so, this stuff is really heavy. if I'm going for low weight but still decent sound, where should I compromise?

$$$

Great attention to detail. I’ll come back to this!

, totally awesome install. this is exactly what I'm gonna do to all 4 doors on my new Nissan Frontier pro 4X.

This guy does fantastic work, but 99% of us can't afford to spend $300 per door just on tape and foam. Anyone ever just use duct tape or something similar to seal the holes? I would think that could improve midbass a tad.

Video should be called, how to add 300 pounds to each door.

Great tip man. This is something that will even help good premium factory speakers that have the door skin cutouts.

These videos are awesome!!! thank you!

what if the window breaks or stops working?

If car manufacturers could put this much effort in their cars we would not have to do this shit

Quite possibly the best door sound deadening video I've seen to date. That tape trick is quite clever

Impressive attention to detail and clean workmanship. Nicely done.

LOL talking about overkill.....

Then you get in to an car accident .. ALL YOUR HARD WORK TOTALLED

This is the right way to do it. Nice work man.

Love your videos man always so helpful keep up the good work.

Your door just got 10lbs heavier. Prepare for squeaky and droopy doors!

I hope you got the door panels back on. This is overkill. I'm sure as hell not gonna do all this.

Honestly you have made my life soo much easier brother. Cheers

Dude , you sir are the MAN ! I once I stalled over 80sqft of raamat and about 30 of ensolite in my 2005 Altima , roof doors rear deck and trunk , even removed the back bumper and did allot of work there(it really needed it ) 2005 Altima rattles like hell ! But man , your work far exceeds mine ! im looking to do this to my 2013 maxima , you my friend have really helped me out with all these videos. SUBSCRIBED !

Just be warned.. The extra weight in the car will increase fuel consumption :)

Man you are doing it son! Keep up the good work man, its much appreciated!

This is one of the first channels I ever subscribed to and I still go back in time to learn stuff!!

Brilliant workmanship

Awesome work man. Keep up the great work.

This was a great video. Top notch

I’m getting old, I have always been into high end audio but with the circumstances of the last 10 years haven’t paid attention to what is new. I remember when about the best an average guy could do for a car stereo system was getting a great pair of 6 by 9s in the package tray and some 6 1/2 inch coaxial in the front doors, the a cassette tape deck with a power booster, lol! They sounded good for the time and I remember a pair of Altec Lansing 6 by 9s that came along that really bumped, it would rattle my rear view mirror but also the sheet metal in the 1970 Camaro, I tried tape at first but then I found some foam insulation panels that had a foil covering on one side, it was about an inch thick and I ended up using some calk to stick it to the bottom side of the package tray, I also covered the backside of the rear seat area and I was amazed at how much noise it eliminated. Later in the 90s when stereos were getting much better, they came out with the dynamat and it helped with the rattles but after watching this video, I am completely amazed at the level you have taken it to, that is a lot of work and it shows. I’ll bet the sound difference is incredible, I’m surprised that you were able to refit the door panel with the thickness of the materials you used. It would take a lot of patience to do that work and constantly running into different types of doors and their unique challenges. I know that the end result is worth the effort, just withthe elimination of road noise would make it worth it but for the acoustic improvement, it would make even just average equipment sound lots better. I’m sure having this done at a shop would be very expensive. I could see being asked how much did your system cost, and me answering, the head unit, amp and speakers were only $300 but the sound deafening and install was $3500. Worth it at half the price, if your going to do it go big or go home!
