      It definitely is easier on the hands, and I honestly feel like it is a bit less likely to damage the panel as you are applying constant steady pressure, just my opinion. Don't forget I have it linked in the bio for you. Thanks for watching!

    I remember when I was installing back in the early 2000's. There was a product made from foam that could be mounted behind the speaker to keep the speaker dry as well as contain some of the air movement and get better bass response. I don't know how well they worked for sound. I do wonder why we continue to use the door panel area as a box when it's clearly too much air for them. If you're printing an adapter, why not make it a container based on manufacturer specs?

    A few months ago I did the speaker foam rings and added sound treatment to the back side of the door panels. Oh man it brought my RF Prime speakers to life. Before they didn't sound that great even with my current kicker amps installed but now its quite loud and direct now. I will say Honda cr-v's are not the best when it comes to acoustics from the factory due to the bigger suv/crossover cabin size but also the thin metal that Honda uses. Even adding a full system, it requires a lot more to make it sound good.

      @@bananameowmeow9260 I used Stinger Roadkill sound deadening since I have a box left over from a client's project. Behind the speaker I put a small sheet of 8''x8'' on the inner door metal following with the 5-6'' piece of foam from the speaker ring on top of that. The rest of the inner door metal is still bare, but I'll save that for another day. The door panel itself. I applied about 85-90% of deadening material on the back side of the panel. Made sure to not cover any screw mounting points or wherever something might need to be taken apart someday. I did that to all the door panels minus the tailgate (I'll leave for another day as well). After that the speaker ring foams (as I have explained earlier). IMHO it was a night and day difference. My car is slightly quiter down the road. The doors shut solid now. The music doesn't sound echo-y anymore. It's very direct and clearer. Overall I'm happy with the results. Yeah, it sounds "incomplete" but I can only do so much with such little time in the modern age.

    Hey Mark, great stuff. Just had a question on the green mounting tape you used at 14:07, what kind of thickness is it? I was hoping to pick up some of the TESA 51136 stuff, but my distributor has been out of stock for months. Looking at getting some 3 mil duct surface protection film, but I'd rather get whatever you used in this rather than take a chance with film that was meant for a different application.

    • @richardr5888

      It's a sickness. I suffer from the exact same illness. I've gone through countless DSP's, amplifiers, speakers, single and dual subwoofers plus corresponding enclosures (many). I've also installed and upgraded speaker wires, rca cables, optical cable, many, many times all in the same vehicle. I have added sound deadening, then more sound deadening, then even more sound deadening. I know, the itch has consumed me. All I can say is, you will reach the point of diminishing returns. Most of what I had didn't need an upgrade, but that itch was relentless. However, in reaching that point, I have discovered that by keeping all that equipment, when I get that "itch", I just mix and match different combos of what I already have. It's enough to keep me busy for years. 😂
      Also, at this point, I can remove all the body panels, seats, carpet, and dashboard blindfolded, in record time.😂😂😂

    The newer aluminum Ford trucks already have pretty decent sound control so this would probably sound great. Despite all the use of plastic panels everywhere the quality, fit, and the way they are mounted is so much better than older vehicles. Just going over train tracks in my parents old Ford Excursion that we had (miss that beast) thing felt like it was gonna rattle apart.😂
    Compared to my dad’s 22’ F-350 there is zero rattling going over bumps, I love it. I couldn’t imagine how hard it must be to upgrade the newest F-150s (and up) with the B&O Unleashed 21 speaker setup. Especially the speakers that are in the headrests. Thing must sound so damn nice though. Makes me want to test drive one just to hear the system.🤣

    I was thinking of installing a better sound system in my car, but after watching a dozen of your videos I'm slowly starting to think that it would be in vain.
    My car is a twenty year old Volvo saloon.
    It has a factory installed system of 11 speakers and a 200W amplifier. Also factory Dolby cassette player and 20-disc CD changer. Two speakers in each front door, a midrange and a tweeter. One midrange in the rear doors, two programmable woofers/midrange speakers in the rear shelf, full-range speakers in the front seat headrests and a large subwoofer in the dash.
    All speakers work flawlessly, as does the programming system, but when playing music louder or playing music with a lot of bass and distortion, the entire front panel and door panels resonate with very irritating vibrations. And when the music is very muted and the trubble is programmed to the maximum setting, the tweeters and speakers on the back shelf start emitting a very irritating high-frequency sound, almost like a dog's whistle.
    I'll probably follow the advice in this video and add soundproofing to start with. later, maybe if that's the problem, change the wiring... and maybe it's also a problem with something else.
