Default Dynomat?

Planning on doing an audio upgrade this weekend and wanted some opinions on whether its worth it to get dynomat in the doors. I have an 09 nismo and I'm installing the 6.5" Focal 165VBs and a JL XD 200/2 amp. I might add a sub later on down the road but I can't say for certain. I wanted to see if you guys think its worth dynomatting my doors before installing my new speakers.

Thanks in advance!

Its been a while since i was into the car audio stuff, but i remember years ago that this was mainly used to prevent such things as "trunk rattle" due to subwoofers. Im not sure if ive heard of it being used for standard speakers... I could be wrong as well...

It is highly recommended to use any tpe of Sound deadening in th edoors, as well as other areas. You are potentialy increasing the clarity of sound in your cabin by sound deadening your doors.

Yes, with some nice speakers like that do the doors. It helps in two way in the doors. 1-help reduse road noise, 2-creates a more solid enclosure for the mid to work better and hit harder.

I did mine. I can't say I noticed a major difference, but I do think there was a slight change. Plus I really didn't go all out on the door like I've seen other do.

I definitely saw a MAJOR difference by doing the trunk area.

Adding sound deading to the doors helped with the stock speaker sound quality! I added Second Skin dampilier and luxury liner pro to the doors as well as behind the s 6"x9" speaker housing. I will post a video once I edit it. I plan on adding the damplier under the center council area to reduce the transmission tunnel noise. The most noise reduction was was due to the luxury liner pro that I added to the rear wheel well area.

Well Worth the money...The car doors sound and feel much more solid. Search the site, someone used a sound meter that illustrated a reduction in road noise within the cabin by a few Dbs.

I'mgoing to be doing the rear hatch area, is there something better than Dynamat to reduce the outside noise and help improve the over all audio of the Touring sound system? I will be adding a better sub and amp but thats the only upgrade I will be doing. Thanks in advance!
