I now want to apply sound deadening to the front wheel arches/front floor pan.
Does anyone know a quick way to enable me to get under this area .... was thinking of removing door trims and hopefully lifting current mat area to do it... if possible?
just remove door sill trim covers and you can pull the carpet up to get areas, it's a bit of a squeeze unless you remove the front seats altogether but I didn't when I did mine...
Great I was hoping someone would say this would be sufficient enough to do the job.... I don't really fancy removing the seats either.
Really going to have to look at doing something like this soon.
I don’t really have any door rattles that annoy me, other than the near side rear door vibrates badly when bass heavy music is played.
What would be the key areas to soundproof or dampen to improve vibration from the speaker ?
I’m not that fussed about road noise etc etc, more about getting rid of vibrations when playing music.
I’ve got my fader turned up 70/30 in favour of the front speakers currently to alleviate, but would really like to sort out.
Hi people.Just to update this, i've soundproofed all my doors and the vibrations when playing music are now completely gone
I can have the Bass up fully and turn the volume up to almost full volume and no vibrations at all.
I pretty much followed the guide on this video, but i added the DIY foam gasket between the speakers and door also.
The source of the vibrations i believe is that large plastic inspection hatch/cover in the doors, when the door card is off you can tap the door hard and its always the first thing to start rattling. So adding sound deadening all around its edge and in its centre is a must.
Well happy now, the standard sound system is actually pretty good !!!!!

I managed to save all my clips as I knew about the trick to open and close them, a couple have lost the odd claw (near the tip) but they will be fine used higher up where less tension is needed, I have actually fitted my door cards back on with no clips at all just yet to give the foam time to settle somewhat if that makes any sense? and also to make sure there are no issues with my new speakers fitted.. I really don't want to have to remove the cards unnecessarily as something will eventually break on the door plastics! good design but not with maintenance in mind!
I used Silentcoat for the deadening, have done for years it's very good stuff and not too expensive.
