Anyone get tired of doors rattleing with loud music?

As you know, the MR edition comes with a lame factory radio/speaker system, so I replaced the radio and the speakers with better ones (Infinity components), no amp, no subs. The passenger door rattles alot, and it's very annoying. Yea, i can turn down the bass and the rattle goes away, but I like it loud. The rattle is from the door, because if i press against it, it doesn't rattle "as much".
Has anyone figured out how to fix the rattle? Dynamat? Any other options?
Thanks, I appreciate any info.

Update. Installed Dynamat Extreme Doorkit and created a how-to.

That's funny, cuz my passenger door rattles much more than the driver's side. You can get some foam and attach/glue it to the back of the door panel. That's what I do and it works great.

I am sure the dynomat or similar would fix the rattling issue. I think Raamat or something like that is better though, I was told the Dynomat kind of stinks, or at least the older stuff use to. Anyway, thats what I am going to do when I actually find an Evo to buy and put a system in it. lol

alot of the older sound dampeners are made of asphalt based which makes them stink.

I have dynamat on my doors completly.. Not just the speaker kit that does a small section. It did add close to 20lbs to the car, but now i have no rattle.. Focal components with 125RMS a side... Sounds awesome

Raamatt sounds good. I want to give it a try. Where can I buy some and how much material do I need for the 2 front doors. I searched evoM, google, but couldn't find anyone that sells it.
Thanks

I have Focal K2's with a Dynamat extreme door kit for each door. Still have a couple rattles myself.

For everybody else I would reccomend Elemental designs dynamat. Basically same as dynamat but much much cheaper.

Couldn't find Raamatt on ebay either (maybe it's spelled differently).
I did some research, i decided to go with Dynamat 10435 Xtreme Door Kit (4 Sheets of 1' x 3') it's $50 on amazon, it's a little more expensive than elemental designs edead-120 material ($42).

You would only need the 80mil stuff. The 120 is really overkill imo.

^Its really up to you. Assuming you have rattles coming from the back it may help. It also apparently helps to quite down the road noise however I cannot confirm this.

Raammat

I'd start here. The guy is into autocross too, so he might have some helpful suggestion about problem areas to address without adding too much weight.
