I used a Dynamat competitor product. I applied it all over the plastic piece that the speaker mounts onto and also around the side impact protection beam (since the drivers are immediately in front of them...sought to catch unwanted reflected sound) and a big piece or two on the inside of the outer door skin.

Once the door is apart, it will all just seem obvious.

I have a Pioneer unit like Notorious' which rattles the door. (I have bass coming thru the doors as the alpine sub is pants.) The car is still warrantied so I should be able to get the shop to fit some soundproofing for me if I can point them in the right direction. (The sub being pants appears not to be a warrant item! but may be the rattle is.)

Did you use Dynamat?

BTW with the Pioneer head unit and the factory tech pack Alpine fronts the stereo sounds pretty good to me (rattles aside). I think fixing the rattles will be a big step forward. Eventually I will try a different Sub Amp and maybe even a new sub to take the load off the fronts.
Many thanks!

The speakers need to be removed and the baffles that house the drivers need soundproofing. Once that is done it make a world of difference. + soundproofing inner and outer parts of the door but not the panel itself if you do both the panel & the fiberglass door it will not fit back togeather.
Watch the video (at time point 1.32) Remove the driver from the baffles & add dynamat to them. This will make it stiffer so when the driver hits a lower note it wont viberate. Just doing this alone made the factory driver sound better.
