depends on your budget, what areas are you wanting to cover? How many layers?

Second skin damplifier or damp pro. Talk to Ant. He could probably tell you pretty close as to how much you'd need.

I would start by suggesting you read Don's site and gain some knowledge on intelligent and not-so-intelligent sound deadening practices.

How much of which product you use depends on your goals.

Trying to reduce some resonance. Your truck could use as likttel as 30-40 sq feet of vibration mat.

Trying to increase the SPL and keep the sheet metal from flexing?

Maybe up to 100 sq feet or so depending on how much SPL you have.

Trying to reduce road noise? Treat the vibrations then look in to addin a noise barrier on top of it.

Feel free to ask me any questions.

I am alwasys happy to help regardless of what sound deadening product you use.

im trying to get decent sound quality from this truck.. i will be running 2 10" subs powered at 250 watts rms each and 2 component speakers getting 150 watts rms.. so i dont plan on entering any spl comps..

the truck has decenly loud exhaust and road noise so i would like to cut that down as well..

i was thinking i would most likely get SS damlifier Pro, im wanting to spend around 200$.....

I used 300-400square feet in my Camry...about half of that for Ensolite as well. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
