[QUOTE="hispls, post: 7969062, member: 614752"] Foam is NOT what you want. You want butyl rubber and foil. Latest conventional wisdom is that this is optimum for deadening car panels. There are some home depot products that are pretty much that, but they're not as thick as the stuff that's made specifically for audio so depending where you shop you'll be out the same money and more work to get the cheap stuff than to do the same with the good stuff. I haven't looked in a while, but last I looked you could get butyl rubber with no aluminum, or rubberized asphalt with aluminum. I liked the rubberized asphalt and had good luck with it in my last car. Arguments against those products are out there so research a bit before you go there. I remember back in the olden days where the premium stuff was all asphalt, so clearly it worked back then anyway. That all being said, I've had good enough luck just poking around home improvement stores for things. I've actually found some of the flashing stuff sticks better than the premium priced stuff.
