Since I can't leave well enough and I went and added sound deadening from RAAMaudio. I had a few upgrades done to the sound system so I wanted to go the extra length. Plus with the turbo going in I was going to be adding some more engine and road noise.
RAAMaudio has great how to instructions. I added the RAAMmat to the outside door shell to add mass. Then the Ensolite on top of the mat. Once the outer shell was done I cut some sheet metal to stiffen up and seal the inner door shell. I added a full layer of matt then the Ensolite on top of that.
I pulled the carpet out washed it and added the RAAMmat to the floor and focused on the passenger side where the exhaust is run.
Then I focused on the back wall. This was by far the most time consuming part of the project and the most rewarding. If your going to do any sound deadening the back wall is the place to start. The first layer of mat was hard to get pressed into each nook and cranny. Then the second layer of Ensolite was much easier since it flexes and is more pliable.
When I put it back together, the bass and midrange were greatly improved. The ambient road noise was reduced too. The whole project was about $250 since I bought enough material to do 2 trucks.
I don't have all the picture right now but here are the fully sealed doors.
