[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8659861, member: 614752"] You absolutely do not need multiple layers or even full coverage. In fact most of the dramatic improvements happen at only 50% coverage or so and then you get only marginal gains for going too crazy. The NOICO stuff on Amazon is pretty good and an 80$ package is plenty to do a car. I did the doors in my Camry, a door I had to replace in my Jeep, the floor of the Jeep, and the trunk of my brother's Civic with one of those. Definitely worth the money and effort for that much, beyond that you definitely hit diminishing returns and you'll probably find more improvements/gains with other fixes anyway. Do the stuff you're going to have to disassemble anyway and it's not that much extra time. You'll have the doors, dash, and seat(s) out anyway to do a 5 channel amp and speakers all around and it won't amount to that much more time to strategically deaden the thin panels and seal up the doors. Keep reading deadening threads. Don't get hung up on the guys who put 1500$ and 100 hours into "reference" tier sound, a fraction of that time and money will absolutely be noticeable and worth your effort. [/QUOTE]
