Insulating
Since I've upgraded my speakers, I've noticed I have "hums" coming from my door panels/gauge pod.
Clearly, its wires vibrating against metal.
I know I should get dynomat to fix that... but frankly.. that stuff is too damn expensive. Whats a good, cheaper alternative to simply stop wiring from vibrating against metal/plastic?
i've heard foam duct insulation works, but i'm thinking as soon as my car gets warm it'll stick.. but then during the colder months, it'll shrink and fall off.
suggestions?

Haha...yeah I would think something you want would be like the multicolored recycle foam that you get from upholstery stores. You can cut it with a blade or an electric knife works great. Some cars have a thin layer in them already

then how would i get that to stay in place? i'm guessing hot glue might.... but depends on weather again. i think that'd crack and fall off...
silicone might work.. but its expensive..

Shops dont generally like/want to do sound dampening. Its hella labor intensive.
I would get 20 Sq ft and a set of speaker tweekers and install it yourself. Its rather easy, just time consuming.

There are lots of quality sound deader brands you can use depending on your budget. I would look at RAAMAT, secondskin, and FatMat.

I think 20 should do ya. You may want to double check though.
Remember our doors have a alot of hollow to it. Unless your doing the inside of the outside door sheet metal...
