Okay, the rattles in my doors have finally caused me to go insane. Ignoring can only work so well. What kind of spond proofing material to you recommend for the doors? What is the best at deadening the sound? Thanks.

(By the way, I would have it done professionally at the same place that put in my Pioneer head unit. They're excellent.)

First if you have your stock speakers, pull them out. That will help more than you think. I would recomend dynamat as a sound dampening material. There's also other brands and dynamat makes a bunch of different types. The doors. First if you've ever taken them off you'll notice they're holing on by a couple screws but a bunch of plastic clips. You might try to tighen up the screws in the door and/or replace any of the clips that are damaged. They can be bought by the bag relativly cheap. ususaly between the speaker and the grill in the doors there is a piece of cloth, that rattles sometimes also. and finally make sure the any of the plastic film in the door isn't rattling if it is just glue it back to the door. I hope this helps.
