Added sound dampening material for subwoofers

[BeardedMarine]

Does take a bit of work but hopefully it's worth it. I also added in the the outside of the plastic bins.

It definitely helps, sure won't hurt. Biggest improvement was on the inside of the doors, got rid of that hollow tinny sound.

That's next weekend my back is not enjoying this.

I understand that.

At 71 years of age, I knew my back would not enjoy it either. So I took it to an auto audio shop and let the young backs do the front doors for me.

Now when I close the doors, the tincan sound is gone.

Sounds like a good plan.

Man I can't believe the difference this made in the way the subs sound. Tighter and cleaner. Can't wait to get the doors and back wall done.

It's nice to not have any interior vibrations I know...

Only spots I get any vibrations from is the undercarriage shields. I would love to know the proper size of the crummy hollow sheet metal nuts Ford puts on so I could replace them with a real washer and nut to rid the undercarriage vibration from the shields

I don't notice that with mine. That'd be frustrating.

Turn the volume up step out of the vehicle with the doors closed, that's only when I hear it. I believe it's all the thin metal heat shields near the exhaust. I just don't know what size those thin cheap nuts are Ford uses to hold on the shields.

Todd, you weren't kidding about doing the doors. Made a world of difference to the way the doors sound when opening and closing but also road noise is knocked down while driving. It just seems like a tighter vehicle. I also did the door panel.

Yes, makes a big difference imo. Was 60.00 well spent.

Doing the back cab wall made such a big difference for me, probably the most noticeable.
I did under the seat bins, the bins themselves, the back wall and an admittedly half-ass job on the front doors. I used butyl deadener and siless foam everywhere I could reasonably fit both.
In the spring I'll yank the windows and do all 4 doors properly even though I think it'll start to be a case of diminishing returns.
