[QUOTE="eharri3, post: 6528445, member: 591579"] If you're paying retail for the dynamat extreme, at 120$ per door kit if I remember right, just enough material for all 4 doors should exceed your budget. Id say start with the 4 doors and the trunk. Learn to take everything apart and do it yourself. Shouldn't be hard on a Pontiac. Buy a roller tool. Look for the other brands mentioned and shop around for a good price. Consider a bulk kit. Start with the 4 doors and the trunk. I am assuming your subs are in your trunk as theyd be with most sedans. Your main priorities to start should be to do a solid job of treating the areas around all the speakers in your system. Treat the trunk where the subs are and do a solid job of your door panels, inner and outter. Hit these areas first, then listen for further rattles or vibrations before moving on. Some people will bathe a whole vehicle in this shit many times over right off the bat because it makes for a good write-up.
