Sound deadening install (RAAMmat)

Well I spent the last couple days installing some RAAMmat and ensolite closed-cell foam. Bought 2 rolls (125 square feet) of mat and 6 yards (81 square feet) of Ensolite, with some adhesive for the foam for $300 shipped. Still far from done (rear deck isn't done yet, will do later), but these parts of the car are near silent now. Just need to add some open cell foam into parts of the car that stay dry. How's it look thus far?

Can anyone think of a "good" way to use a 1/2" baffle behind the door speaker grills without cutting the door panel apart? I'd like to try using a pair of Elemental Design EU-700/7Kv.2 speakers up front (to replace the Kappa 60.5cs woofers) but they're 3.5" deep. The speaker area is 3" deep at the shallowest point. I'm still not quite happy enough with the midbass and sealing the doors up completely won't get me to the same level as the eD's will.

Ever thought of installing the speakers in the kickpanels? I'm not sure how much midbass they add or how quality they are, but weasle has Mustang QLogic ones installed in his car. He might be able to chime in on how those sound.

I sound deadened much of my car (doors, floor, trunk) and the most considerable difference was the doors. I can't believe how much road noise comes there.

Our cars are supposed to have sound deadening behind the door panels? :hick:
