Audio build part 1, SOUND DEADENING!!

I couldn't stand the flimsy doors on our new 2017s, Also after driving in the rain Saturday the rear doors were still dripping water Monday at lunch time. So I said screw it, Im doing my audio build over the next two weeks so I said lets do this early.

Each door got a layer of Second Skins Damplifier Pro on the inside and outside skin.

Spray glue was applied over the Damplifier and Overkill Pro Closed cell foam was glued on to the door skins,

spray glue was applied to the Overkill and luxury liner was installed over that.

Door Panels

Factory diaper pulled off,

a layer of Damplifier Pro
spray glue and Overkill Pro was glued on.

The difference is day and night. Ive taken 2 people for a ride in the truck and both of them have booked appointments to get their 2017s done.

I have to do the floor and back walls next but that will come when I pull the interior out.

drew a fine line around outside plastic so I knew where to stay inside of panel



pulled drivers side panel off



inside factory front door, 1 piece of sound deadener and seam sealer



layer of Damplifier pro going on inside skin



wrapped the bracing in the door



Overkill foam glued on



inside skin wrapped with damplifier pro



diaper pulled off factory door panel



damplifier pro added to door panel



glued overkill foam on door panel



front door back together and nothing is visible




wanted to show the amount of moisture in the rear doors

If you want to buy second skin stuff sign up for their emails list now. Every holiday they have been offering 20% off coupons.

Did all of that fit nicely in the doors? I tried with my old chevy to get the luxury liner pro to fit but the door skin wouldn't fit back on due to the thickness of the luxury liner. Had to go to a smaller ccf and then some 1/8" think mlv over that. I prefer the industrial velcro over spray glue that way it is super easy to remove and never sticky. But both work!

on the door panel it was supprisingly easy to get back on, the added weight made it nice, I had to cut some holes for clips and pins but no Issues on this truck, the inside doors have a brace that holds everything like a shelf and a guide to stay inside as not to block the windows.

2 hybrid audio clarius 10s in a down fire ported box. I'll start the audio build thread shortly or edit this one. The whole interior is out and just started deadening and running wires

What's up with that moisture inside the doors?

I don't know much about it but it seems hard to believe that amount is by design, especially since it was on the factory speaker too?

Automotive doors are designed to take in water and drain out through the bottom, its been that way as long as I can remember

Looks nice. What are you doing for subwoofer enclosures? I had subs behind the rear seat but found it put the bass in the null area of the cab so I have them under the rear seat.

My buddy in louisiana at Fox Accustics built me a box for 2 10'' subs, down firing in a ported box, bed lined and the ford logo engraved in the front of the box. amps will be going behind the back seat and on the shelf
