hi
i've had the front doors soundproofed at doran, using brown bread. i can't seem to tell the difference except the doors sound more solid when being closed.
should there be more mid-bass?.....i was told that there was no need to soundproof them as my car isn't bad sounding (vw golf). what do u guys think of this?
is using other products such as dynamat or that g-spot stuff alot better than brown bread?

Soundproofing, does it make a difference?

I sound deadened my doors using flashtac and spray on tar (too tight to buy good stuff) but I used a sh#t load
It is also in a Golf, a MK111 and I noticed a huge difference, my focals had three times as much mid bass as they did before it suouded like I was running a small sub.
It was enough to shake to outside and inside mirrors.
Best thing I have done for the money

Echo try adjusting your x-over points on your amp (or where ever they are sent) it may require abit of tuning perhaps. You might find they could be crossed over alittle too high.

Anything is better than nothing and lowering your x over points may help. It might be your speakers just dont produce significant midbass so thats why no change.
Anyway I have always used products like roadkill/dynamatt etc and have always been impressed by how effective they are but cant vouch for cheap alternatives

mm...dun think the deck goes down to 80hz for the hpf....
yes...the speakers are amped.......pioneer yellow splits (only got them coz they were cheap $350)..with about 90watts rms..
i opted for brown bread..because i couldn't get dynamat on the same day...
