Deadening Advice please.

Alright so I got a Dodge Ram Quad Cab. I wanna put some deadening in so I can put in with the wiring and such all at once. But my question is how much and what kind should I get...

I know the doors are gonna be the most important thing, so what brand is best used here and how much. I saw the Dynamat Xtreme door kit, but for some reason 4 sheets doesnt seem like it will be enough.

And since I have the Quad Cab it has the "3rd" door which is like half a door, where the rear speakers are now, should I take out the rear speakers and put some cheaper deadening back there as well? Or just leave it?

Then the floor, theres already a factory layer on there im not sure what kind but its got an alluminum top, so here should I put just a mat on top or somethin (what Im kinda leaning towards) or should I get some cheap peel n seel and the mat?

And then the rear wall, I imagine some higher quality deadening would be good here, yah?

Also whats the best mat for the price out there quality and all that. As well as where is the cheapest place to get it lol...

Also if someone could help me with my wiring question that would be great too:

For 1 door I used about 10 sq ft, and I thought it looked like almost TOO much.

I would say between 15-20 sq ft PER pair of doors is the most you will need, and 15sqft for the trunk lid is what you will need quantity wise.

I used Raammat which a lot of people on this forum will vouch for. 62.5 sq ft for about 130-140 shipped straight from raamaudio, cheaper on the classifieds on this website. You can find a roll in the classifieds (when available..) for around 100-110 shipped or so.

Well theres no trunk since its a truck. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif But will 62.5 be enough for the front doors, half doors, floor, and the back wall?

Also is there a big point in doing the ceiling? Or A pillars or things like that?

I've got an extended cab chevrolet silverado with the 3rd door and I used 2 rolls in mine. The back wall has 2 full layers, the floor has 2 full layers plus and extra 2 in some areas. I also had enough to do 1 layer on the inside outer skin if that makes and sense and then on the inside skin of the doors. Spend a little extra and get some of the ensolite foam as well, it does make a difference //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif RAAMAT FTW!!!!
