Gold Member Username: Tdawg30Ohio USA Post Number: 1100 Registered: Jun-06 | alright so I just ordered like 120^2 ft of sound deadener and well my doors are poorly put together for me to deaden them. the engineering behind them leaves me very awkward angles and lots of obstacles in the way. I was just wondering what all of you thought I might do after browsing the pics. Bare with me as I know the pics arent the best. http://s130.photobucket.com/albums/p247/tdawg30/ |

Take off as much as you can to get the largest pieces in there. You need to make full contact with the inside of the doorskins. If neeed be cut it into strips, but ya, gotta remove that shizzz! BTW 120sq won't do much, I have 450sq ft and could use more. Polo.. |
