There are a couple of different kinds of that stuff, the kind with the
granular surface does not work as well, it's not as flexible as say the
Grace product.  Regardless a heat gun helps the stickum work better.

Another option to consider that works well is spraying the panel with
rubberized undercoating.  I did this on my 850 Spider on the engine lid
and other panels and it helped a lot with panel drumming.

Subject: Sound deadening and door speakers

Hey folks - I'm in the process of replacing my damaged 2 front interior
door
panels and got a couple questions.

First off, while I've got the panels off and door frame exposed, I'd
like to
do some sound deadening. I've heard of people using "Ice and Water
Shield"
which is a urethane/rubber underlayment used in home roofing. It can be
purchased at Home Depot, etc, and is considerably cheaper than products
marketed as 'sound deadening' specific, and it appears to be pretty
similar
stuff. Have any of you used it for this purpose, or have any thoughts?
And
would I apply a stick-on sound deadening material like this between the
door
panel and the door, or is it possible/affective to insulate the inside
of
the door (on the back side of the exterior surface).

The second part of my project involves new speakers. The replacement
door
panels I got have no speaker holes at all (I think they came out of an
'80
air cooled with no door speakers), so I've got the option to install
speakers in the lower part of the panel, where there is a larger cutout
in
the door. I'm hoping I can fit 6.5" speakers down there. Has anyone here
been successful doing this?

Thanks!

Jon
