didnt treat the speakers too well because I have to do more work in that area, namely baffles.

Thats a ton of dirt/possibly water in your doors. How old is the car/how many kilometers? I wonder what the stock speakers look like/held up to that. Maybe you have bad window seals..

Your deadening job looks fine though. Good thing you cleaned the surface before applying deadener, so you shouldn't have any problems with it coming off.

Its a 1997 accord exr with 321k on the body. I didnt see any water in the doors, all the drain holes were clear. The stock speakers were in good shape actually. That deadener is sticky as ****!. I ordered a next roll.

i would suggest that u use a roller... just by the looks it seems like its done by hand..

it will be easier and faster and it will stick even better when its rolled on.. besides that it looks good...

since the sticky stuff is not black what is it? white butyl?

I've bought plastic rollers from Home Hardware for $5, they are used for wallpapering corners.

i did 1 car by hand and my car and my buddys doors with a roller. makes a big difference. those little creases that u see gets flattened and it sticks better with a roller..

never seen white butyl anywhere until this one.. wonder if theres a big difference between the black and white
