I have Pioneer 3 and 2 ways (front and rear) and I got a lot of rattles/noises from the doors (just the stock HU), which pissed me off because I taped down all the loose wires/plastic I could find when I did the install. I got the foam baffles with them, but they were too deep and interfered with the window operation. I took them out and found one of them ripped from the window opening on it! Crutchfield credited me for the baffles after I called to complain.
Anyhow, last week it was finally warm enough to find the rattles and what I found was that the yellow door foam liner-thing was the cause, in every door. I tried to peel it off in one piece and figure out a way to secure it, but I ripped all of them to the point they're unusable.
I eventually hope to upgrade the system further, but I was curious if you folks with high end systems rip that stuff out or what? It kinda sealed up the door and now the bass is weaker for not having it. I know people are big on Dynamat, but do you try to seal up the door with that stuff like the yellow foam did? Any suggestions until I can manage to Dynamat the whole thing?
Any help is appreciated.
