Sounds like a sound plan, Dan.

As far as sealing the rest of the holes, that's up to you. If you're trying
to quiet road noise, all the layers of dynamat in the world won't help. If
you're trying to reduce buzzes, rattles and resonations caused by the
woofer, then it's a great idea. It's very time consuming, but the last two
vehicles I've owned I've done this with my doors. I like to hear my music,
not all the metal parts rattling in my doors.

If you want, you can look at what I did with my Maxima. Overkill for most
casual listeners, but what can I say? :-)

Hey all,
As per my previous post, I've got a set of Boston ProSeries 6.5's and
the woofers are going in the doors of my *rockin'* '94 Hyundai Excel
hatchback :-P . However, I took the panel off the other day and
noticed that there are a few rather large holes in the sheetmetal that
don't seem to really have any purpose... Most notably, there's a big
square one right where I was hoping to put my woofer! So I got
thinking: "Maybe i could just buy some 1/2" MDF, screw it to the door,
and screw the woofer to the wood!" (caulking the edges of course).
Does this sound like a sound plan? (pun intended...) If so, is 1/2"
too thin?
Now, what about the rest of the holes? Is it worth my while to plug
them with wood too? I intend to dynamat (well actually B-Quiet) the
whole door either way, since our korean friends probably didn't intend
for my little 1.5L car to be going 110km/h (even tho the speedometer
says 200!), and therefore put no deadening or soundproofing whatsoever
in the doors...

Thanks for any ideas/opinions,
Dan
