Thanks for sharing the photos and comments as well. There is also some stick backed sound proofing blanket available with a silver backing. If I ever get to this point I'll add some.:smile:
Blessings and Peace

Just received my replacement speakers from Crutchfieldcanada. Wow were they fast! Ordered Mon afternoon, arrived Tues afternoon.
Was considering (its sitting in my Amazon cart) adding some Noico 80 mil mat to the inner doors and trunk/ spare area while undertaking the swap.
I'm a little nervous about removing the panels and liner, and wondering if all the effort would provide a noticeable improvement.
Not expecting a drastic or comparable to thousands of $ install improvement. All in I'm at $150 for 4 speakers, potentially $100 for the mat, spare clips & such.
Just a slight improvement to road noise and music quality.
If I do, I'll be shooting a little video on removing the panels & swapping the speakers. If at the least, as evidence for if I screw something up.
Planning on attacking this weekend, so I'll post up results once completed. Taking all luck and suggestions ya'll are willing to share.

I had three pkg options of 18, 36 or 72 sq' feet so I measured the door area real quick, also wanting to do under the spare tire & rear hatch area.I read your post again and I saw $100 for the mat. What are going to put in 4 boxes? I used one box ($20) and one tube of Dyomat I bought from Crutchfield.

Remember when installing sound deadening to not go over board and to clean it first with rubbing alcohol.Well, as I was delayed on the speaker install, I went ahead with sound matt in the trunk area.
I took out the factory tonneau and foam insert. The tonneau hits me in the forehead and I find better storage for stuff without the foam tray.
Removed the spare and went to work. 2 sheets of the matting fit just about perfect.
Easy to cut and mold to the area. The "cheap" brayer roller I bought broke part way through so I flattened it as best I could.
In the end, everything fits back the way it should. Oh, and the dollar store, rubber shelf liner stops pelican cases from sliding. Best $2 mod yet!
Heading out for a test drive to see if there's any difference. I'll update with my findings.
Bummed the speaker swap didn't pan out
I'm going to do this mod this week .....After a short little road test, I can notice a difference.
Gone is the tiny, hollow road noise and some of the engine rev. Some, not all. Noticeable mostly due to the muffler being just underneath.
All in all, for the 2 sheets of mat and about an hour of effort, it does add to the (already) enjoyable driving.
If I dive back into the door panels, I'll add a few 6" strips.
I also agree about the wheel well areas making a difference. I'll have to figure out how to get in there, as well if I should feel adventurous about removing the seats.
