by adding a sound dampening/deadening materital to your doors you will gain several things

1) a reduction in ambient road noise, increasing your actual S/N ration of your vehicle

2) an increase in mid bass response

3) a complete separation of the front and rear wave coming from the speaker in question resulting in more response by reducing cancelation.

do the whole door. I recommend one layer on the outer skin(the closest panel to outside) and two layers on the inner skin)the door closest to the passenger compartment)

you'll love the increase in mid bass and even when the stereo is off, you'll appriciate the reduction in road noise

How does one apply dynamat to the inside shell of the door? I can hardly get my hands in there. Is then intent to pull off that factory "cover" on the panel closest to the inside of the cab and replace it with dynamat?

Any links or pictures of how to do this?

crutchfieldadvisor.com has a picture tutorial.

Most people that mat the entire door do replace the plastic factory cover with mat.

yes, you do have a little bit of a challenge in getting to the outer skin of the door, I'd recommend removing the speaker, as that is often the largest opening on the inner skin and doing what you can from there. I forgot to mention, it is extremely important, particularly for the outer skin, that you clean the surface first, wipe with cloth, then use alcohol or some mild solvent, makes the mat stick MUCH better, good luck
