Front Speaker Upgrade and Sound Deadening Installed

I did the same and also found his video helpful.
One thing I thought of that I would have done differently: Use some really good suction mounts to hold the window up and slightly open. I was so nervous that I might forget, shut the door and watch the glass crash into the door.

Which NVX deadener did you use?

I used about 100 sq ft of this stuff and did my whole interior pretty much. Need to do a write up but man it was a pain in the ass and I don't feel like recollecting the process lol.

Decided to finally tackle the project of swapping out the front speakers and adding sound deadening to the front doors. I took mine time but overall its not a very difficult project, as some may think. This YOUTUBE video was extremely helpful for figuring out how to remove the inner door skin. Overall I used less than 20sqft of deadening material for both front doors. The outcome is noticeable with a little less cabin noise but 0 rattles.

I'd like install the install sound deadening to make my Lariat even quieter, but just hate dealing with removing the regulator, and potentially dropping the glass in the process. - It's an odd set-up for us old school owners, and I've done the deadening in three prior vehicles.

Can't speak to the Lariat specifically, but I can tell you that slathering sound mat even on the door card and the inner faces of the door (without removing the window regulator etc) made a huge difference on my XLT. I also put it on the back of the cab and inside any interior panels I removed for speaker replacement in the back, and it's a totally different truck.

Good to know! Do the doors also shut with a nice thud instead of a slight metallic sound?
