For instance, this car is quieter than my last Civic with 5 (read: FIVE) layers of Second Skin damplifier on the inner and outer door skins...and this car has zero deadener.
I have a Lexus IS 220d from 2007 and my doors rattle like hell with high volume (with my previous component installation) even after deadening.

Maybe it was caused by the mid-woofers in the doors, which could get pretty low and loud:

Woofer 175 Power @ 150W RMS each
Frequency response: 35 - 35.000 Hz

Anyways Nick can always see if it needs deadening or not.

I would recommend to deaden it anyways or at least use speaker tweaker kits e.g. from Secondskin audio.
